if we believe, we will be saved remember how God loves us still although it’s true we live depraved if we believe, we will be saved from idols that keep souls enslaved we can’t be freed by our own will if we believe, we will be saved remember how God loves us still
dear Jesus offered life on cross blood of pure lamb is shed for sin sin brings us death, despair, chaos dear Jesus offered life on cross estranged from Father, such a loss when God turned face away from him dear Jesus offered life on cross blood of pure lamb is shed for sin
Christ is risen, he lives today come look, the grave is now empty! women witness what angels say “Christ is risen, he lives today!” our heavy stone is rolled away john and peter run fast to see Christ is risen, he lives today come look, the grave is now empty!

every good gift received
each reminder believed
that good Lord above
is the God of great love
and our worthiness under-achieved!

every evening i rest in you grant sleep to those you love every morning i’m still with you awakened by Spirit above
rejoice with the sun, the dawn is breaking come greet the new day the Lord is making
every day is a gift from you give me a song to sing every moment is breath from you give purpose to everything
rejoice with the birds, the day is breaking come see the new day the Lord is making
every blessing comes from you good gifts from God above every morning given by you our generous Father of love

teardrops fall in the middle of the night no more hope?
turn on light to read good word spirit buoyed on waves of love
A tan renga in response to Chevrefeuille’s haiku at CDHK post “on waves of love”.

do not be afraid
we cannot see whole picture
love shall overcome
we must look beyond ourselves
Jesus Christ offers us HOPE!

Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai in the month of love…
be my valentine
red roses, dark chocolates
bake a heart-shaped cake
mama and i shared birthday
brief time to celebrate love
❤ ❤ ❤
If someone gives you their heart, you can’t give it back without breaking it.
❤ ❤ ❤
heart broken open…
perhaps that lets the love out
to spill on others?

she stares at him
elbows akimbo and
painfully pointed, as
white alabaster shall
shatter to tiny tinkling
shards of heartsong
he doesn’t notice,
yet if never, how it
feels to desire, aching
for words; arms bent
to work longer, those
urgent cows in kilts
piano sails fast clipper
lingers on guitar strum
dishwasher humming
wet wipers swish back
and forth; passengers
on dismal carousel ride
A free verse surrealistic poem for dVerse Poetics .
