Questioning the resurrection.

What kind of tongues do madmen speak

in order to get saved

What words they use

what thoughts they think

tp witness to the meek

How often do we take a look

inside our foolish heart

and stare into our Saviours eyes

where there was love

just form the start

How rare are our repentance  prayers

for we can’t find the words

we daily live under His grace

and hardly understand

how deeply we are loved by Him

and by a  depth we do not comprehend

What forces held Him underground

what force made Him his slave

who kept him three days in the deep

imprisoned in a cave

what white magic brought Him back alive

and made Him  bust out of His grave

LARRY NORMAN 5 years gone

Today i celebrate his life

remembering his songs

five years from now he flew away

leaving behind a legacy

of christian rock and roll

As he  rolled away a stone during his musical career

up till this day 

we hear the ripples in the sea of time

and how he told us all about

his greatest love of all

Jesus 

as he so often  sang out loud

While the bloodstained israelite lays down

waiting till the resurrectionday

we remember

how he  performed and took a stand

for Jesus and the poor

now living in another land

we remember 

how he rocked the flock

here on this earth

only visiting this planet

witnessing out on the streets

like moses tending sheep

he talked about the king of kings

while he himself sometimes

was in trouble deep

kept pointing toward the open door

upheld finger into the sky

crawling toward the lamb

Talking ‘bout Jesus just the same

How we all miss Larry so deeply.

Off balance

Jesus throws everything off balance
Dying daily at self centeredness
I take shelter in His tenderness
All the way down to the sewers of my soul
He is there
Into  the most hidden parts and the darkest corners
Of my deepest   thoughts
He is there
He opens up  spreading His light
Confronting me with how i really am
As a mirror on the wall
He is there
Together with the crumbling  pieces  of fallen frieindship and broken bondage
He stands firm and steady as a rock
Like a sheperd  should
Already  knowing that i would but couldn't make it on my own
He is there.
Jesus throws everything off balance
Dying daily at self centeredness
I take shelter in His tenderness
For He is always there.

Quote from Karl Barth

It was God who went into the far country, and it is man who returns home. Both took place in the one Jesus Christ.

Today i come to bow down

and admit that i was wrong

that i did sin was giving in

on the darkest side

where all thoughts collide

into the deepest void

and all is lost in these black holes

in the sewers of my soul

i exalt your name

i praise your love

i thank you for your grace

time is on my side

while heading for eternity

as you hold me

in this warm embrace

to give honor to your name

i was never taught to do

to exalt thee just the same

i was reluctant too

and to praise you for redemption

and to glorify your name

is a thing i keep pondering on

unanswered questions for the take

sending dreams while wide awake

let your spirit now consume me

as a fragrance that perfumes me

Father high in heaven

please forgive me what i did

or for what i didn’t do

what i should have done

show me all the wonders

of the Spirit, 

all the wonder

of the Father,

all the wonder

of the Son

For You are High 

burn these lips

cleanse these eyes

clean my mouth my mind my soul

dearest Father now be praised

for You did make me whole

Rakakam sheo sheo eloim

ya’aan ya’aan sheo sheo 

Rakakam eloim sheo sheo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Upon the years treshold

For all blessings received

I give thanks to thee

For all prayers heard

I give thanks to thee

For all sins forgiven

I give thanks to thee

For all thoughts perceived

I give thanks to thee

For all the love given

I give thanks to thee

For all mercy met 

I give thanks to thee

For all comforting words heard

I give thanks to thee

For all brothers and sisters

I give thanks to thee

For every newborn child 

I give thanks to thee

For all both minor and major accords

I give thanks to thee

For thou are great and holy

And such a loving father

Hallowed be Thy name.

In Jesus name i pray.

Amen.

HOLOGRAM

Last night a dream came over me

it woke me from my sleep

day was dawning morning glory

rose ahead

i was in trouble deep

i thought i slept 

but i was wide awake instead

i dreamed that God just made the universe

as a hologram

al in all

before the fall

the only thing irrelevant

was time to live and time to love

for He was all in all

He said to me 

Man this is good

I am content with what i did

i give it all to you

to take care of it

you will look like me

it’s such a lovely place

that’s where i wanne be

together with my children 

so we all be  free

But somehow things went wrong

and darkness got a hold

set foot on holy ground

and occupied our souls

the Hologram was damaged

far beyond repair

people just forgot

and of the light

they were unaware

the innocence of man

was disappearing

as the woman took a bite

i stood there doing nothing

abiding to her side

and now the world is crumbling

by a serpents lie

but the only one to blame

wasn’t God

it even wasn’t Satan

the only one to blame. . . 

was i.
