My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish …
Pour Me Out
February 3, 2021Epiphany: Visions and Tides
January 19, 2021I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
This shared vision was beyond sight/also tangibly experienced – where both present and past entities of a self exist:
Present, as Past
A shining, robed group comes together in a subterranean area. As if taken there, one at the back of the gathering watches and listens. While the others stand over an alabaster casket with a hallowed form, they say “The secrets of John the Baptist are within this White Cross.” Thereafter, it was opened, and as they were looking in something could be heard (from beyond them): “The contents reveal to be …”
[missing word is to remain secret].
Past, as Present
Next, Christ’s followers are searching on hillsides (after the resurrection), exclaiming “Jesus, Jesus” – in the air of “Where are you?” At the same time, but across from the latter, now as one traveling on a path among a small crowd of further followers, [he] relives looking just behind on a recent walk to glimpse at who was hidden, and sharing glances. Then, with a related yet distinctly different turmoil than the searchers, [he] said to another “I knew that it was Him. He told me not to say who He was.”

Curtain Risin’ On a New Age
December 23, 2020But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
All nonbelievers and men stealers talkin’ in the name of religion
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin’ on a new age,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
The Times They Are A-Changin’
November 21, 2020And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
Then I’ll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin’
But I’ll know my song well before I start singin’
And it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard, it’s a hard
It’s a hard rain’s a-gonna fall
Guitar[s] Gently Weep[ing]
November 14, 2020I look at the world, and I notice it’s turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake, we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don’t know how you were inverted
No one alerted you
(I look) Look at you all
Still my guitar gently weeps
With Arms Wide Open
November 11, 2020Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife.
[B]ut he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.
“A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me, because I go to the Father.”
Never Surrender: Triumph
November 7, 2020My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;
and [nothing] is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.
Out in the streets inspiration comes hard
The joker in the deck keeps handin’ me his card
Smilin’ friendly he takes me in
Then breaks my back in a game I can’t win
Jivin, hustlin, what’s it all about?
Everybody always wants the easy way out
Thirty golden pieces for the Judas kiss
What’s a nice boy doin’ in a place like this?
Never Surrender – keep your dreams alive
Never Surrender – hold your head up high
Modern apathetics, you got plenty of nothing to say
Some are born to follow, some will make their own way
Today you found a hero, tomorrow you’ll forget
You’re lookin’ for convenient truth, you haven’t found it yet
You don’t make commitments, no time for regrets
Easy come and easy go and easy to forget
You don’t ever take responsibility
Don’t you know that part of you is part of me
Never Surrender, it’s easier said than done
But you got to finish what’s already begun
Never, that’s forever, seems like such a long time
But I only got one life to live – It’s gonna be mine
Never Surrender – keep your dreams alive
Never Surrender – hold your head up high
Never Surrender – we cannot be denied
Never Surrender – spread your wings and fly
I Was Raised In Babylon
October 26, 2020Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.
Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of His wrath.
Meditations and Psalms (1)
October 14, 2020There Is Only One God,
One Son,
And One Holy Spirit.
We Are One Family.
Within, There Is Only One Light,
One Heart,
And One Continuous Song.
Amen.

September 28, 2020You Light Up My Life (by God)
September 18, 2020So many nights
I’d sit by my window
Waiting for someone
To sing me his song
So many dreams
I’ve kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark
But now you’ve come along
And you
Light up my life
You give me hope
To carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song
Triad: Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth)
September 7, 2020Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
Give me hope
Help me cope, with this heavy load
Trying to, touch and reach you with,
heart and soul
OM M M M M M M M M M M M M M
M M M My Lord . . .
PLEASE take hold of my hand,
that I might understand . . .
Let It Rain
August 23, 2020
The rain is falling through the mist
Of sorrow that surrounded me.
The sun could never thaw away
The bliss that lays around me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let your love rain down on me.
Let it rain, let it rain,
Let it rain, rain, rain.
Now I know the secret;
There is nothing that I lack.
If I give my love to you,
You’ll surely give it back.
These Are The Words . . .
July 29, 2020I was in the Spirit … and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet.
He is the Light of life.
He gave of Himself, that we may live.
The Morning After [by God]
May 16, 2020
There’s got to be a morning after
If we can hold on through the night
We have a chance to find the sunshine
Let’s keep on looking for the light
Oh, can’t you see the morning after?
It’s waiting right outside the storm
Why don’t we cross the bridge together
And find a place that’s safe and warm?
It’s not too late, we should be giving
Only with love can we climb
It’s not too late, not while we’re living
Let’s put our hands out in time
There’s got to be a morning after
We’re moving closer to the shore
I know we’ll be there by tomorrow
And we’ll escape the darkness
We won’t be searching anymore
All Along The Watchtower
February 15, 2020
One may have seen (and lived) what could not be spoken of (then).
Still, through writing, there is another way. What was pictured, what was sent, what was undergone, was to be of what will be. Through this, while looking and living forward, what was shared can be shared – as a voice beyond a tongue.
And I’ll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it
[They] also knew what was next: a towering wall of water washing over
. . . , cleansing it of all that was evil and impure.
To Bear Witness of That Light
February 8, 2020And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, “These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”
And there will come a time:
“Do you want to eat? Or, are you willing to die?”
Waiting, in a psalmist sense, may lead to an arrival of bestowment all at once. Along the way of perseverance, we may also be fulfilled in steps after steps – where the promised gift is an eventual culmination. From the onset of this spirit, our knowing, our believing, and our faith may withstand any rising mountains – where we, ultimately, realize a lifting beyond each one.
Words of Mass Discernment
February 2, 2020God and Jesus do not work with, or through, lies; that would be “a house divided.” They tell us the Truth; it is only within this that we are meant to hear, to be moved – forward. To see what is provided, clearly, to know what is beneath and beyond present[ed] cloaks, is Their calling – that our learning may lead to teaching[s] after (perspective) silence[s].
Ask, question, discern: What reality is being, or has been, put forth (to follow)? What is the originating base? What are the goals? Ask further (when appropriate): If they can’t operate in the light of day, where (and how) do they operate? Take the original Fact of this assertion – and be guided only within those directions. When answers are of undoubted division, reject and rebuke that house. Then, strengthen your own –
that it may be one (continuously built upon).
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth:
I came not to send peace, but a sword.”
Smile [: God Responds]
January 7, 2020Rise From the Dead
January 4, 2020To whom also he shewed himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.
I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle.
Of Psalms: God Is The Light
January 1, 2020But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
I will praise thee forever, because thou hast done it: And I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee,
Fear not; I will help thee.
[The] Daily Bread: Break[s] Every Chain
December 21, 2019
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
There’s an army rising up ( – We won’t keep silent)
There’s an army rising up
There’s an army rising up
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
Declare that the chains are broken –
By the power that’s in the name of Jesus
Every chain of bondage …
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains falling
I hear the chains falling
Break – Chain – Break –
The power of life and death is in your tongue
(We) Command it: “Break” – “Chain” –
“We command you – to break”
The freedom of the Lord is here
To break every chain, break every chain, break every chain
In The Light
December 7, 2019
And if you feel that you can’t go on
And your will’s sinking low
Just believe, and you can’t go wrong
In the light, you will find the road
You will find the road
Hey, did you ever believe that I could leave you
Standing out in the cold
Yeah, baby, I know how it feels cause I have slipped through
To the very depths of my soul
Oh-baby, I just want to show you what a clear view
It is from every bend in the road
Now listen
Oh, whoa-whoa, as I was and really would be for you, too.
As you would for me, I would share your load
Let me share your load
Ooh, let me share, share your load
And if you feel that you can’t go on
In the light, you will find the road
The the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so
When love is pain it can devour you, but you are never alone
I will share your load, I will share your load
Baby, let me, oh, let me
In the light
Everybody needs the light
Ooh, baby. Everybody, everybody, everybody
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
Light, light, light, in the light
… Light, light, light, in the light …
Victims of the Fury
November 30, 2019
You were all the rays of sunlight
Shining O’ to me
Every colour of the rainbow
I was blessed by high decree
You were every moment’s magic
Joy beyond compare
You were all the rays of sunlight
I was lost without a care
Victims of the fury
Shadows in the dark
Victims of the fury
Arrows found their mark
So we lived our days in rapture
Like the world could never end
We weren’t thinking ‘bout the future
We had time enough to spend
We were blessed as though in heaven
We were messengers of joy
There were angels all around us
There was none who would destroy
Then the world collapsed around us
And the tables overturned
We were lambs before the slaughter
We were driven out and burned
Yes the world collapsed around us
And the archers found their mark
We were victims of the fury
We were shadows in the dark
Your Spirit: This Is Why We Sing
November 2, 2019
This is Why We Sing
In the name of Jesus:
I was lost;
I was found –
I was saved.
In the name of Jesus:
I found Love;
I found peace –
As He gave.
In the name of Jesus:
When we find the songs –
Then we sing –
In His Name.
This is why we sing:
For the truth (as given).
This is why we sing.
When we find Your truth;
When we know,
We sing to the Holy –
As we follow.
Peace – as I was saved;
Filled – as He lifted –
I was gifted;
In Your Love, I was reborn.
In the name of Jesus –
I was found;
I was saved;
I am Loved.
I found Love;
I am Loved.
“I’d Do It Again”:
In These Days: “Because I Love You….”
The Miracle; The Testimony
September 7, 2019
So God,
Make me your example
Make me a miracle
I’ll be the miracle
Show us a miracle
I’ll be the one
We are waiting
Anticipating
The miraculous
Show us miraculous
The miracle working power
of our God:
We’ve been waiting
We’ve been waiting on you
The miracle worker
I am not the same
I’ve been changed
In Your Glory
Together, We Sing
August 31, 2019Apocrypha: The Song of The Three Holy Children
AND they walked in the midst of the fire, praising God, and blessing the Lord. O all ye winds, bless ye the Lord: and exalt him above all for ever.
The Odes of Solomon: Ode 6
As the wind glides through the harp and the strings speak, So the Spirit of the Lord speaks through my members, and I speak through His love.
Jesus: The Son of Man: Joseph – Surnamed Justus
They say that only the wind combed His hair, and only the rain brought His clothes and His body together. They deem Him mad, and they attribute His words to demons. Yet behold, the Man despised sounded a challenge and the sound thereof shall never cease. He sang a song and none shall arrest that melody. It shall hover from generation to generation and it shall rise from sphere to sphere remembering the lips that gave it birth and the ears that cradled it.
The Groom’s Still Waiting at the Altar
August 17, 2019
Prayed in the ghetto with my face in the cement,
Heard the last moan of a boxer, seen the massacre of the innocent
Felt around for the light switch, became nauseated.
She was walking down the hallway while the walls deteriorated.
West of the Jordan, east as the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the turning of the page, Curtain risin’ on a new age,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,
Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your silence for snobbery,
Got the message this morning, the one that was sent to me
About the madness of becomin’ what one was never meant to be.
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin’ on a new age,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
Don’t know what I can say about Claudette that wouldn’t come back to haunt me,
Finally had to give her up ’bout the time she began to want me.
But I know God has mercy on them who are slandered and humiliated.
I’d a-done anything for that woman if she didn’t make me feel so obligated.
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the cage,
Curtain risin’ on a new stage,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
Put your hand on my head, baby, do I have a temperature?
I see people who are supposed to know better standin’ around like furniture.
There’s a wall between you and what you want and you got to leap it,
Tonight you got the power to take it, tomorrow you won’t have the power to keep it.
West of the Jordan, east of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin’ on a new age,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
Cities on fire, phones out of order,
They’re killing nuns and soldiers, there’s fighting on the border.
What can I say about Claudette?
Ain’t seen her since January,
She could be respectably married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires.
West of the Jordan, west of the Rock of Gibraltar,
I see the burning of the stage,
Curtain risin’ on a new age,
See the groom still waitin’ at the altar.
What Is the Truth, Now? : Last Hallelujah
August 10, 2019Walking alone through the desert sands
In a blinding light someone reaching out their hands
I saw the black of the midnight sky
Turning blood red right before my eyes
I’m simply mystified
A soul electrified
I feel a yearning within
As the spirit kicks in
The earth stands still as I shake
Before my maker’s face
There’s no time, no space
My body elevates
I see my world collide
I feel so alive
This might be my last
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Walking on water in a raging storm
I could see the face of a man with a crown of thorns
In the distance I can hear a voice
And it’s calling me, it’s calling me
To testify
No need to justify
I feel a heavenly wind
Like a breath on my skin
The earth stands still as I shake
Before my maker’s face
There’s no time, no space
My body elevates
I see my world collide
I feel so alive
This might be my last
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The earth stands still as I shake
Before my maker’s face
There’s no time, no space
My body elevates
I see my world collide
I feel so alive
This might be my last
Hallelujah
This might be my last
I feel so alive
Hallelujah
This might be my last
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
