Divine Lunacy Gets Lyrical...

(Fooled you, didn't I?  You thought I was going to wax poetic again, didn't you?)  I think I wrote this meaning for it to be lyrics.  What say the musically gifted among you?

And Weep

When your world is crumbling where you stand
When you stumble and need a steady hand
When your burdens are too much for you to bear
When you are overwhelmed with worry and care

When you are wounded and your soul bleeds
When you're used up and empty and have need
When love seems hopelessly lost to you
When you think"Why bother; what's the use?"

His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep

When you're aching heart cries in the lonely night
When you think you won't make it to morning light
When your soul is screaming and no one hears
When your mind can't hide from all it's fears

His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His Keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep

Sometimes this world can be too much
Your weary soul longs for a Parent's touch

His arms are open and waiting
Give everything to His Keep
Just lay your head down
On your Father's chest and weep

I got the phrase "Just lay your head down on your Father's chest and weep." from a book written by Nicole Johnson.  The imagery that came to my mind was sitting on God's lap and just crying my eyes out and letting go of all my hurt, all my pain, all my confusion in those cathartic tears.  And knowing that His loving arms are around me and that He has a big enough chest to absorb all of it, is most comforting, indeed.

Divine Lunacy Waxes Poetic...Again

This one appears to be unfinished.  However, I like where it is going.  Hmmmm...maybe I'll work on it some more.  Until then:

Send Me To The Corner

 

When I am overwhlmed by life's demands
And my nerves are frazzled and frayed
When it feels like I'm running in circles

So tired that I can't see straight

When the money is short and the bills are long
And the fridge and cupboards are bare
When my lonely heart and soul
Cry out "Who will help in my despair?"

Send me to the corner, Father
Put my back against the wall
So I can open wide my arms
And let my budens fall
At the feet of my sweet Jesus
I will surrender all.

Divine Lunacy Waxes Poetic...

Doing a "Fall" cleaning and came across a few poems that I had written a few years ago.  This one is an anocrostic poem.  The letter beginning each sentece forms a sentence of it's own.

 

Jesus Love



Jesus
Endured everything meant for me
Shame and degradation
Ugly words of hate
Scourged and spit upon

Body torn and pierced
Redemtion gained in each mark
On His flesh
Knowing, I put them there
Eternally
Not to shame me, but remind me

Beautiful salvation
Oh, the glory to be of such worth
Daring to belong to Him
Yehweh's beloved

Jesus
Endured everything meant for me
Shame and degradation
Ugly words of hate
Scourged and spit upon

Slahsed and bleeding
Precious life flowing from wounds
I caused Him to take in my place
Love is the only reason
Love paid a high price
Even though it was my
Debt to pay

Beautiful redemtion
Lasting forgiveness
Oh, the glory of such love
Only a Father can give
Divine love
