Faithful ©1993 DAN GOLD
I want to be faithful ..
Faithful to choose every course of delight
Happy while wending my path in the light
Shining - a beacon for lovers to see
Visible - telling how one can be free ..
Overcome evil and prove what is good
Doing my best - not just what I should
Tearing up lies and exposing the dark
Capturing moments of eternal thought ..
Penetrate silence - infiltrate covens
Snatching the lambs from old slewfoot's ovens
Burning with malice and covered by fog
Shifting reversing and known to be Gog ..
Master deceiver - too complex too slow
Never a movement that ever would show
Self-exaltation o'er all of the earth
Subdued to the force of his will and desire ..
Not even love would try to conspire ..
To bring peace and unity to nations of men
By making their choices and senses to blend
Insidious power but given for free
Or else would the plan of God never succeed ..
For freedom to choose to obey or to not
Will ensure that our victory is fairly wrought
And the justice we love will forever remain
Once the darkness removes itself in Jesus' name |
Garbage ©1993 DAN GOLD
Garbage - garbage - garbage
Someone else's waste filling my space
Take it away ..
Give me love instead
Not your bed
And certainly nothing from your head ..
Hypercritical masses
Exploding - imploding
Who cares for the future!
Prayers from the dead
Justify genocide
Pretense of humanity ..
The love we seek is the love we give ..
All words
Become empty before reality
Starving faces ..
Let's make a deal -
Give me something -
Give me your eyes ..
Jesus lives inside
His name is enough
To raise the dead ..
But who cares?
Living is death
Dying is final ..
God cares for us all
Nonetheless we've made a mess
So down the toilet we go - bye |
What Life Is ©1993 DAN GOLD
There is hope in our death
There must be
Trees die - birds die
Young things die ..
Another topic - life!
What is it?
Not merely survival - but peace
And by obedience - joy ..
Some philosophers include vanity
With reflective behaviour
Some writers describe
Life without life in them ..
Some artists paint sculpt
Figures from personal taste
God creates fresh vibrant
Perfect forms forever ..
We are God's creations
We are life forms
Not parables not cannibals
Not perishable but loveable ..
God loves us - He gave life to us
God moves us to love Him
God loves us to move in Him
God is good ..
So what is life?
Not of this world - not of this time
Eternal - transcendent - fluid
Beyond what we see |
Bye And Bye ©1993 DAN GOLD
Bye and bye we can't go back again
We've taken steps away from death
We've chosen - somehow - God's own path
Our love will testify - our joy intensify
Our peace consume the lie
That Jesus won't be back - he is alive ..
Bye and bye I've broken with old aims
What I thought loss returned to me
When thinking stopped I'd finally see
The old is dead beyond repair
We turned it down without despair
Jesus' life is all we share ..
Bye and bye we'll hold our master's hand
With confidence - our time is ending here
Neither did we have anything to fear
For Jesus died so long ago
For sins committed not by most
But viewed upon by all the heav'nly host |
Direction ©1993 DAN GOLD
Crumbling - crumbling - crumbling
Through darkness we are stumbling
Daily - hoping our direction is secure
By faith (whatever that means!) but still
Believing that Jesus died for our sins ..
Faith is knowing - hope is yearning
Love is fleeting - pain goes on ..
God's love endures forever ..
Only by doing the first works is
God glorified in us - let us know what we are
Let us pick up our cross (God-given) daily
And - with God's help - carry it onward
The Lord's inner peace and joy is ALL that matters! |
Let It Go ©1993 DAN GOLD
Let it go - let it go said the tree to the vine
Let me go - let me grow
Not a word was heard - slience prevailed
Mutiny travailed but justice ruled
God's mercy allows growth through expression
Love directs - do it by faith ..
Religious fever destroys religious minds
Persecution instills love
Integrity grounds hope but no one knows anything
Time has passed and still passes
God's commands need to be kept
God makes it possible ..
Denominations are dead - God's Holy Spirit
Only touches sheep - so few
Disintegration and decay of society's morals
All hell about to break loose
God is faithful - God is kind
Be merciful to the blind and lame |
