When I read your word
I thought, and I turned my feet.
I made haste
To try to obey your commandments,
And walk in your ways each day.
Tanka

Astride the night
Rode He the Conqueror
On a white horse

Based on Revelation 6:2
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth.
Although it is often debated,
In the beginning God created.
Is really not complicated,
It’s a truth of great worth.
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth

Have you tried the LORD?
Have you experienced Him?
Have you taken time?
Taste and see, the LORD is good.
Have you reached out?
Trust and see, His blessings flow.
He is waiting for you.
Perceive who He really is.
Taste His goodness today.

One can prevail
Two will be able to withstand
Three fold cord holds firm

Don’t worry, go forth
Dressed in His finery.
Flowers of the field
Clothed in His great splendor
Far greater than Solomon
Tanka
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29
Moth and rust corrupt
Thieves break in and do steal
Treasures on earth
Surely decay and vanish
So dont be decieved
Lay up treasures in heaven
They’ll last eternally
For where your heart is focused
There your treasure shall be
Choka
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21
In this troubled world
Waiting for our Blessed Hope
I keep looking up
