poem: holy communion


"Holy Communion"

Whipped and mocked
Crowned with thorns
Nailed to the wood
That you did create

These things I picture
As I take this bread

Taunted and poked
Save thyself!
Rupturing of the heart
Blood and water separate

These things I picture
As I take this wine

Wrath of the Father
Averted only by you, Christ

poem: the clothes show


"The Clothes Show"

Get dressed up
Nice and pretty
Examine that wardrobe
Come on now, quickly!
Does God not see us
In the shower?

The Lord's going
To be there!
Get out that Sunday best!
Is it washed and pressed?
Does God not see us
In the shower?

Don't spill that
Breakfast now!
The Lord won't be best pleased
With a butter stain
Does God not see us
In the shower?

Find a seat
In plain view!
Make sure ev'ryone sees
That we are best dressed
Does God not see us
In the shower?

What to say?
We looked fab!
Did you see that lady?
Call that rag a dress?
Does God not see us
In the shower?

poem: misplaced worship

"Misplaced Worship"




Warm in your embrace

Joyous in your presence

Beautiful is your face

I worship

"I'm not God!", you say

"Then show me the way"



Warm in your embrace

Joyous in your presence

Wonderful is your Grace

I worship

"I Am God", you say

I have found the way
