Ahhh... Immortality.

After the death of my earthly flesh,
my spirit will fully embrace it.
For I'm truly made
in my Creator's Image
and filled with His Divine presence.
How can anyone doubt...
The premise of my logic?

Ahhh... Immortality.

Despite the differences of skin color

and our cultural upbringings,

we're more than brothers of Mankind -

Technically, we're kin.



Go to the mountain

preserved by ice and snow

where the revelation of Ararat's secret

is available for everyone to know.



For the ark's existence

proves the global flood story is true

and being our brother's keeper...

Is still a right thing to do.



Descended from Noah

are the many races of…

Into the depths of untold depravity,

a perfect creation had fallen away;

unimagined grace poured out from our God above -

As His Hand of wrath was firmly stayed.



The Cross, stark and still, standing upon a naked hill...

subtly calls for the World's attention.



Since the dawn of everlasting time,

our Savior awaited His appointed day;

despite humanity's race to certain doom -

His Hand of wrath was intentionally stayed.



The Cross, stark and…

Today's great undead poets,

awash in the internet sea,

seek to fill the void of sensible emptiness

of our cyberspace world.

Following the heroic tradition of Man,

these daring individuals look to gain acceptance

through the expression of concepts.

Mirroring the virility and vitality of Life,

in defiance of critical naysayers,

the blankness of virtual paper

is scribbled upon with hurt, hope and ideals.

Writing styles and topics,

whether…

Despite the trials of this earthly world

and the continued foolishness of men,

God wants His Principles completely unfurled -

For He loves His Children, while hating sin.



His anger is not turned away

and yet His Hand is outstretched still.

Our Salvation awaits its appointed day

with the meshing of our spirits to His Will.



As long as we continue to breathe,

there's Hope for us to loving cleave;

He's promised that His Spirit will never leave…

Once my earthly journey is complete,

humbly I'll stand before Your judgment seat.

So in advance I faithfully pray to have

a positive ruling for you to mete.



Grace and mercy carried me;

Your covering on my life you should see.

Hopefully You'll remember that I

promoted Your Kingdom for eternity.



Despite flaws and failures absurd,

hidden in my heart is Your Holy Word.

An attitude of lifelong praise I've spoken

based on what I've…

Preparations by the Groom have been completed;

He joyfully awaits the day

that marks the remainder of eternity

when the Church shall be swept away.



He has created a wondrous place

where rows of mansions are perfectly aligned.

Angels will sing beautiful songs

announcing souls' arrival; including yours and mine.



Despite imperfections of His bride,

the Lord daily intercedes with heartfelt prayer.

The celestial wedding feast shall take place…

It's hard to extol the merits of mankind

and to lavish excessive praise is insane;

recognize the gamut of vain emotion

and treatment of our brothers that's inhumane.



The natural nature of man is hardly good -

Proof is found in our vocabulary;

despite incredible accomplishments of this world,

poor relationships of man to extremes are still carried.



Our literature and news is littered

with ugly views of crime and hate.

For brief review of the…

If I were...

    truly illuminated, what would you see?

    Could the brightness of Christ fully shine

    and the persona of me disappear?



If I were...

    gifted, in other unknown ways.

    Would I be able to discover them

    or would I choose to deny them anyway?



If I were...

    blessed, beyond Earthly needs.

    How much of myself would I be willing to share,

    besides just money and possessions?



If I were...
