The Ark



Strike the iron and split creations seed,
with force and power that divides, build the
ship that will herald the breath of promise.

Hammer the nails without restraint, drive them
home, tear into ancient veins wrought by time,
Join each worked piece into redemptions frame.

Silent falls the beating rain, drops of wrath
drip down as divine grief greets mankind, in
a gradual dance of agony and pain.

Tainted flesh is swept away engulfed, in
a stream of judgment, the heart of anguish
slowly bleeds, mercy poured out from heaven.

Crucify the plan with hate and lies, nail
his bruised and bleeding body to the tree
made with sweat into the shape of a cross.

Hung in contempt and polluted with sin,
a harvest of pain hidden within flesh,
drowning in a flood of eternal wrath.

The eradication of sins stain, the
final nail driven into a willing soul,
to defeat all that malice held sacred.

Rescued from the poured out anger, granted
life where once was death, a triumph of the
grace given to the undeserving victim.

Awaken



Awaken my mind to the spirit
Aware of Christ’s life on the inside
Not just my thoughts
Emotions
Reason
Logic
Knowledge
The influences of the natural world.

Change the perspective to my re-born spirit
Walk in closeness with Christ’s presence
Grace
Hope
Faith
Love
The consciousness of the spirit’s realm.

Falling In Love




Sip the wine as it kisses my lips, that
dance of delight which entices my heart,
drunk on the feelings of unrestrained joy

The pure wind of heaven captivates, a
glimpse of wonder, a touch of the divine
which quiets the warning voices that ravage.

Strike the nails that piece deep into my skin,
in a fragrant myrrh of passion and pain,
that draws me deeper into your embrace.

Satisfy my gloom and anguish, now fill
the desperate need of acceptance, a
touch, a connection filled with affection.

Enticed into an extravagant duet,
offered a chalice of touch and glances,
to drink the pure wine of loves sacrifice

Without restraint take me captive, submerge
into fathomless depths of buoyant love,
bring liberty to free a condemned soul

Breathe in your presence and savor the blood
written into my heart, the glass of your
fondness induces me to come inside

A waltz of discovery where all is
lost on a journey of hope to a far
distant land, following my forlorn heart

Hold me with your gaze, sweetly blow away
clouds of oppression, release us into
the swift stream of undiluted desire.

A Bitter PIll



A bitter pill given takes away my breath
Inherited nature leads me to my death
Every moment lived drives me to my fate.

A hopeless void engulfs my vacant heart
As fear wells up consuming every part
And deep inside my heart cries out forlorn.

Somehow I know there is an answer
A rescue from the trap of life’s cancer
A cry of hope in my desperation.

Your blood poured out for my redemption
Deaths reign now ended by your resurrection
The sting of death eternally made obsolete.

Hope now fills my heart as I realize
That my mortal body will one day rise
And death will have no more hold on me.

The Oil of your Word




The oil of your word
Drips through my hands, anointing me
Your sweet aroma
Floods through my senses, filling me
Embraced with you love, releasing me.

The wave of your spirit
Pours through my life, changing me
Your divine power
Pierces through my soul, healing me
Filled with your fullness, transforming me.

The realm of your glory
Breaks through my being, connecting me
A river of blessing
Flows through my all, enabling me
Released with your grace, embracing me.

Dream



I dreamed
You came to me at night
Weak with desire
I waited
Anticipated
You have stolen my heart.

I dreamed
You were knocking at the door
Called me to unlock it
Reaching out
Opening
But you had disappeared.

I dreamed
I searched the town for you
Looked on every street
Found You
Held you
Would not let you go.

I dreamed
You finally claimed me
Called me your own
Saved me
Forgave me
Loved me unconditionally.

A Beautiful Exchange




The cry of the Cross
Through bloodshed and pain
God’s mercy triumphant
My wretchedness exchanged.

Rivers of God’s grace
Cleansing my soul
Freed from condemnation
Recreating me whole

All my sin and guilt
Cast upon the tree
Absolutely dealt with
Provision made for me.

God’s wrath wholly satisfied
At the final heartbeat
Total acceptance
The sacrifice complete.

Through the blood of Jesus
His righteousness proclaimed
Torrential outpouring
My liberty now claimed.

My Heart now beats with passion
Ancient days now strange
A glorious new beginning
In this Beautiful Exchange.

It is finished


It is finished!
Completed at the cross
All my sin eternally dealt with
Free from guilt and dross.

It is finished!
The veil rent apart
A new covenant started
Creating a brand new heart.

It is finished!
The law made obsolete
A perfect high priest
His accepted sacrifice complete

It is finished!
The final cry released
History separated
The wrath of God appeased.

It is finished!
The power of hell disarmed
The ministry of death defeated
Freed from trouble and harm.

It is finished!
The fullness of God freely showered
Incredible encounter
His victory empowered.

It is finished!
The wonder of his love
Grace overflowing
Blessing poured down from above.

Overflowing


Heaven kisses
This aching frame
Arms wide open
Free from pain.

Floods of glory
His presence near
Touching my spirit
Grace is here.

Words can’t express
The full release
Spirit cascades
Overwhelming peace.

Filled with his power
Transforming my mind
Bringing hope
As assurance I find.

High expectation
Wanting more
Fill me up
Your presence explore.

Touched by love
Brand new start
Undeserved favour
Overflowing my heart.

Waiting



Will it come?
Everything unclear
Waiting patiently
Will it appear?

Feeling so helpless
So incomplete
Accepting Inactivity
Broken heartbeat.

I know it is coming
The signs are there
Gathering expectation
My senses aware.

Help me to wait
To find the trust
Keeping my heart
Freed from life’s rust.

A signal drops
Slowly the train
Hissing and squealing
Its power contained.

The train has arrived
My waiting finished
Everything accomplished
Joy fully cherished.

Sanctified


Sanctified
Washed clean
Heavens river
Drowning me.

Soaked
Spirit drenched
Burning desire
Thirst quenched.

Soaring
Heart released
Glory touched
Spirit’s peace.

Seeing
My position
Heavenly seated
Godly vision.

Staying
Life keeping
Heart focussed
Fully receiving.

(Poem composed during Kings Church Worship – 20th February 2011).
