sent from heaven
sent from heaven
from a faraway king
to inspire, do good
and blessings bring
determined
well-aimed
by the archer in the sky
our lives lived for him
will touch earth below
and heaven on high
joy in every aspect
of our creative being
that jesus
is also our erotic king!

serve God without fear
serve God without fear
said zacharias
to all who really hear
sure, also fear God
(a dichotomy?)
that is...
fear consequences
of his displeasure
doing wrong
but to those
who love God
in his family
life is freedom, love
a pleasant song

Talk like that!
she likes to hear me talk like that
naughty stories under her hat.
arouse! amuse!
to her it's always
good news!

Teacher
You sent me a teacher,
A smart little creature.
She's witty and wise,
Alert to my cries.
'Ministering spirit, '
Confidant, a perfect fit.
Heart that I feel,
My constant, loving keel.
