Post Card for the Weary World (Needs Autobiography and Devotional)


Postcard for the Weary World

Three a.m. and Once Again
Someone’s been Shot
More Children Abandoned
A Woman Robbed of Innocence
Or a Husband’s Family Lost
The World It Turns, By Tomorrow They’ll Be Forgot
Just Reminds Me That I’m So Small
Trying to Turn This World from the Path it is On
Or Get My Own Foot Off the Gas and Make a Turn
He's Here
From The Fading Hold on Frazzled Ropes
From The Secret Rooms of Broken Homes
From the Plans to Save Our Skins and Souls
From Maps We Draw For Our Own Way Home
From Sudden Stops, The Dead End Roads
When We've Lost His Way Again
My Strength For Hanging On
And Reasons For Trying At All
Are Wearing Thin
And Drawing to and End
The Rope is Frayed and All the Silver Lining Gone
I Hear a Knocking on My Bolted Door
And He Appears
Gentle Nail Scarred Hands yet Burning Eyes Without Fear
Wraps Me In His Carpenter’s Arms
And Shows Me Somewhere Beautiful
Seems So Far From Here
But it’s the Same Old World, if Only I'll Answer His Call
Him Living In Me
We Can Build It Back Again
Giving Me Gentle Hands yet Burning Eyes Without Fear
The End of My Plan To Change It All On My Own
It’s Where He’ll Begin
To Build It Back Again
Not from Outside He's Had to Live Within
To the World He Intended Us to Live
Amen He’s Here
Amen He’s Here
Yeshua Comes
And I Have No Doubt and I Have No Fear
Put a Sign Out for the Weary World
Amen He’s Here

Prayer for For the Weary World

Elohim The Judge of All
We ask Your Forgiveness for our Apathy
We ask Your Forgiveness for our Silence
We ask Your Forgiveness for using all we have only for Ourselves
We ask your Forgiveness for believing we could Fix this all on our Own
We intercede for our Politicians and Lawmakers
Those who have the Power of the Pen
We intercede for our Police and our Judges and Military
Those who have the Power of the Sword
We intercede for our Parents and Siblings and Friends
Those who have the Power of Presence
We intercede for Ourselves and our Churches, Synagogues and Houses of Worship
Those who have the Power of Prayer
We ask for both Justice and Mercy
Those who have one without the other tear down the World
We ask for both Justice and Mercy
Because Tikkun Olam, the Repairing of the World
Requires one to become the Bricks and one to become the Mortar
For all our Ancestor’s and our Neighbor’s Broken Places
We ask you to use our Hands and our Mouths and our Feet
Yeshua we ask, that it’s us that you work Through
Yeshua we ask when it’s Done
We remember that it’s You they should Glorify and You First that they should Love.

“ Then they will answer and say, ‘Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see. Grant atonement for Your people Israel whom You have redeemed, ADONAI, 
and do not put innocent blood on Your people Israel.’ 
Then atonement will be granted to them for the blood.”
Deuteronomy 21:7

Crowns (Needs Autobiography and Devotional)

Who Gives The Crowns Today it has come, the end of your line. Burned all your days down, turned to smoke all your time. You’ve left us a long trail of love-I hope your children will follow behind Brought Faith like a Stone, it doesn’t shake-I hope its stays when in blows the night What Will We Remember, The Laughter and Grief With Strings on our Fingers With Stones from the Ground With Books full of Pictures With Ghosts of the Good Times that Linger Around Chorus: What We Will Remember, It Doesn’t Matter Cause G-d Gives the Crowns No Matter How the Ravens Steal Good Seeds from Their Ground Today it has come, for the final drive Knock on the door, after this morning/mourning it won’t open twice You’ve Left us some Rumors, Inuendos to find Girl They’ll say You were Crazy, They’ll say You were Wild They’ll never know You How you ran a Good Race, How You Gave it a Helluva of Fight Or How You did your Best With the Thorns in your Side Wha

Grenades in the Garden

GRENADES IN THE GARDEN  This body is not Broken Not missing all my Blood Though I am barely Breathing Though I don’t have the wounds I Should These thoughts they have been Rusted Cause I don’t think about nothing but the Rain How about you? This trust it has been permanently Busted Cause I can’t find the bandage and I can’t find the Glue How about you? Chorus: Invisible is this War They can’t see its mortars in my mind They can’t see its bullets piercing through my youth They can’t see the flares lighting up declaring I need Love They can’t see the Signals or read the Codes or send a Rescue to my Shores Invisible is this War Inside of Me How about you? -There are grenades out in the Garden Not really it’s just in my Head Though I’ve seen them rob me of my Brothers Though now they all explode as I turn all night in my Bed - These thoughts they have been Rusted Cause I don’t think about nothing but the Rain How about you? This Calm it has been permanently Surrendered Cause in my b
