Determined Father God
'i'm more determined than my son'
God told me recently
determined to help people
i understood him to be
they work together
to do good
rescue and save
and satisfy godly desire
we crave
our father is a relaxed sort
and pretty funny
amused by me
and my odd way
i think he'd like me
less serious
more play
lighten up
i heard from heaven
one say
his determination in us
and love from his son
more fun!

Dirtliness
cleanliness comes after dirtiness
but dirty hands get the work done
sometimes difficult, sometimes fun
godliness sound a bit too holy
and cleanliness just too - cleanly
i think i'll be down to earth - imperfect, dirtly

Disarming
arm the world
harm the world
there's hell to pay
for perpetrators
profiteers
who cause terrifying fears
maimed and dead
heartbreak, tears
a lake of fire awaits those
who sow war and terror
reap the terror of hell
by the key-holder Jesus
surprise
look into his fierce, flaming eyes
he'll ignore your pleading and cries
as you coldly ignored his human lives

do flowers sing?
a friend told me
about a modern prophet
ordinary guy i take it
he visited heaven
as God's guest
and watched a small flower
sing to him
you need the heart
of a child
to be a profitable
prophet
