He Doesn’t Even Know

He Doesn’t Even Know

Oh, Lord, my Lord!
You told me “Mark”.
I long to share with him
The Light of Jesus’ spark!

What is it that hinders me?
When I see him the smoke to swallow
My heart hurts bitterly
How he is gripped in sin to wallow.

He doesn’t even know that
He’s one of Satan’s countless slaves
When his deceitful heart
Another cigarette it craves.

I saw Jesus’ nailed pierced hand,
As lighting a cigarette
Mark’s hand trembled.
He doesn’t even know that
His soul is being strangled.

The sinful desires of the flesh
He’s fast to satisfy.
Wouldn’t he let Jesus’ blood
His heart to purify?

How is he gonna let Him?
How is he gonna know?
Is there somebody there
Who’s going to show?

To show him the Truth, the Life, the Light
To show him the Way out
To help him get spiritual sight
Out of the bondage of sin’s drought!

He is dying for Living Water
Sadly came again my self’s fears
The burden of my family not saved
My poison this smoke mirrors.

I’m just observing…
Mark’s dying in sinful smoke.
“What if my parents get to know?”
This question attacks me, to choke.

Should I preach salvation in Jesus?
Is it I that is going to show?
But how!? When I’m afraid that mom
the Bible in the trash will throw?

O, Lord, my Lord, show me Your will!
Am I not made perfect in love?
To remove fear…
I want to be innocent as dove.

Yet, wise as a serpent.
To break the devil’s scheme.
Mark doesn’t even know…
May the Light be not just a beam!

May Holy Almighty Convicting Fire
Burn brightly steadily within Mark!
May he know and be set free
In the Light that’s not just a spark.

O LORD, You gave me the answer!
Like You, I need to be meek.
Thank You, dear LORD for revealing!
I take no thought,
for the Spirit of my Father shall speak!!

Desolation

Desolation

How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
- Hebrews 9:14

 
I feel away
Crying and breaking forth
As if the others are at far south
I - at the distant north

In my desolation
I gladly rejoice.
It seems the others
Make a religious choice.

Are they directed by law?
Is it just what my mind thinks?
Or is God revealing?
Is it what the Holy Spirit leads?

Is it wrong to say
That easy is Jesus’ yoke
When in the Lamb’s blood
We always choose to soak?

But do we choose?
It’s definitely hard to yield
For we love ourselves
In religious thorn-filled field.

Yet – is it hard? –
When we hate ourselves
Follow Jesus’ sayings
In sacrificial praise.

Cast your burdens on the Lord
The way is truly narrow
But please! Do not fall
Into religion – shallow.

Righteous only in Jesus’ sacrifice
The gate’s strait
Let the Holy Spirit move
For our GOD IS GREAT!

What does it mean
Ourselves to deny?
Religious reasoning makes me
Again in desolation to cry!

Preaching Jesus Christ and Him crucified
Will either harden heart or it’ll break
Bringing to ashes
All self-righteousness – fake

So is it easy to deny self?
His commandments – not grievous
Or is it hard to stop
The ‘do this & that’ cycle vicious?

Not grievous
For Jesus said: “It is finished.”
Are we purged in the Lamb’s blood?
Why is the Holy Fire diminished?

Is the object of our faith right?
Are we living sacrifices?
Nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified!
God’s grace suffices.

It’s easy when to the Holy Spirit
Our hearts we do not harden
But let them break and be filled
Grow Living Water garden

Do we realize that we’re placed
In Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection?
I’m crucified with Christ
Breaking forth and crying in desolation.

God’s Daughter

God’s Daughter
To a special friend- you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. - Romans 8:15

What should I say
When you say: “don’t wanna exist”?
Did you forget that
Through the trials you are to persist?

Do you remember how
Through the storms you’ve sung
Praises to your Adonai
Knew the power of speaking in tongue

Jesus would say:
“Where is your faith?”
Did you forget that
Your Lord is the Great?

Jesus pulls you
Through every trouble
Do not give in to
The devil’s tricks- so subtle!

Greater is He that is in you!
Give Him a joyful song
Sacrifices of praise
When all seems so wrong

Whoever the Son sets free
Is free indeed!
Lean on the everlasting arms of love
Every time you are in need!

Always look at the cross of Calvary
When the devil makes you falter
Receive God’s love eternal
Know you are His dear daughter!

What Could Have Been?

What Could Have Been?

I’m wondering
What could have been?
I want to be Your witness
Show me things unseen!

He came in the chapel
With You I was alone
He was probably seeking
To pray at Your throne

Greeting friendly
I just said “Hello!”
Should I have let
Living Water flow?

Later, I saw a girl
Sitting, reading the Bible
I somehow thought
She’s another disciple

I talked with her to see
If she loves You, Lord, with her all
Sadly, all I sensed is
She’s not even hearing Your call

What could have been?
If I shared how Your love burns
I could have witnessed
How to You another soul turns.

That None Should Perish

That None Should Perish

So many souls
From You, Lord, they hide
Hardened, veiled
Not wanting You to guide

“Thinking for myself”
Creates another smartelic theory
Their souls are perishing
The devil’s attacks are fiery

If they don’t believe Jesus is the I AM
They’ll die in their sins.
We’re more than conquerors in Christ
Jesus- the only One who wins

Just like the LORD did
In prayer, we’re solitary
Devoting all to the Almighty
While others love the temporary.

Here are we, the others are there.
It seems so separate.
So distant I feel-
For You, so few are desperate

GOD IS willing that none should perish
But that all come to repent
Turn from darkness to light
Be Bride with spotless garment.

Like an Eagle to Soar

Like an Eagle to Soar

I’m so tired
I need to sleep
Cuddle in the Shepherd
A faithful sheep

I’m weak
I have no power
Waiting on the Lord
Christ- my strong tower

When He’s all my strength
Like an eagle I’ll mount
Above the situations
The cost to follow I’ll count

To follow the Lord of lords
By faith and not by sight
With the whole armor
To win the glorious fight

In this world, not of the world
Not loving my life unto death
Loving the Life with my all
For His glory, give my last breath

They give me headache-
Teachings that are wrong.
Souls in bondage to them…
When I’m weak, You make me strong!

Dying to myself
I need You so much more
Free in Christ
I want like an eagle to soar

Friend to Stranger

Friend to Stranger
For we cannot but speak
the things which we have seen and heard.
Acts 4:20
~~~ 2 Timothy 3:1-5 ~~~

There are multitudes
Standing in the pew.
But these who follow Jesus
Are precious very few.

Lord, so few souls
For You they long.
So many are ashamed
To praise You with a song.

He inspired me before,
He used to be a brother.
Now his words, they
The Holy Fire smother.

She wore: “faith”
I thought she is a sister.
But only pride and religion-
I saw a spirit sinister.

Do I talk God’s love too much,
More than show?
Should I be normal,
Better take it slow?

That they love Jesus-
I had a daydream.
I just cannot stop
This Living Water stream!

They have no love for Jesus.
“Talk about something else.”
The Lord’s “too much” for
They enjoy their worldly fest.

What I’ve seen and heard
I cannot but speak.
To make the devil mad,
To silence the religious shriek.

Still to prayer
I need myself to devote.
So souls from Jesus
Would not be remote.

I’m so hurt
Expecting always danger
That another friend
Would turn to be a stranger.

Living Water & Holy Fire

Living Water & Holy Fire

In some melancholy
A strange worldly song
All around & in my mouth
But only for You I long.

Talking only about You-
To some may seem weird.
But I’m bathing in Your Spirit.
Bold now for what I feared.

So hungry, so thirsty
Only for You I want to sing
Every minute, every second
To the cross of Christ to cling

Denying self
When desperately seeking Thee.
All doubts, all worries,
The devil would flee.

Feeling discouraged?
Console in our best Friend.
Leaning wholly on the Rock,
In His strength we stand.

Being cleansed
In Your burning love I cried.
May holy fire purge
Jesus’ faithful Bride!

JESUS IS Coming Back!

JESUS IS Coming Back!

JESUS IS coming back!
Unrecognizable is the season.
They do not know their Savior.
Ignorance is their prison.

Blind eyes, deaf ears
She doesn’t care she’s going to hell
Closed to the Good News
Suffocating in a devilish shell

Time is nearing
In late spring, there’s ice and snow
They don’t even know
Soon, THE GREAT I AM will show

He’ll come in glory
Show Almighty power
JESUS! For the righteous
He is a strong tower

They need to know Jesus
We are living in the end
I’m praying to the Father
More messengers to send

Bold in Christ, fishers of men,
Shine Jesus’ light
Penetrate the darkness
With Holy Spirit might

But then I was silent for Jesus
They resist, reject and mock
Not wanting to follow the Shepherd
To join the heavenly flock

~Viki, April 13, 2007, 10:30 pm, at work *I cannot seem to find where in the Bible it talks that when it is unclear if it is winter or spring or fall or summer, it is a sign that Jesus’ coming is near. Maybe it is not in the Bible, but I read it somewhere. I do not remember. But I clearly remember that the heavy snow in April was unusual and I had the strong sense that this shows that Jesus is coming back soon…

See The Cross!

See The Cross!

It grieves me, Lord
To see them “having fun”
Chained in bondages
When Jesus said: “It’s done!”

In Your precious blood
Victory over the devil and sin
But they mock the Bible
With ugly ignorant grin.

They must resist the devil.
Stop acting like clowns.
Look at the cross of Christ
For them, the Savior groans.

For them to be free
Holy hand pierced by dirty nail.
They are either caught up in the world
Or in a religion that is stale.

O, Savior! Set them free
From the cunning vice!
Jesus, open their hearts
To Your powerful sacrifice!

The Choice to Surrender

The Choice to Surrender

What if we don’t sense Your presence
And it’s kinda lonely?
We should check and see if
The soul’s become somehow thorny.

Stop running from You.
Our hearts we should not harden.
But be broken and humble before You,
Always seeking You for pardon.

In a dry land, thirsty,
Longing to hear Your voice.
To surrender completely to You-
This is the choice.

When we give all to You,
The power of the Holy Spirit is intense.
Every day, denying our selves
Your presence we will always sense.

Receive the Holy Spirit!
Let Him cleanse the ground
Purge all the thorns
Not lost, but found.

Not only found, but always
Growing in Jesus’ strength.
Oh, thank You loving, holy Father
For the Holy Spirit’s depth!

Should i tremble?
Or to JESUS be devout?

In Jesus' precious blood,
every battle is already victorious!
Giving every burden to the Son;
Free in the Majesty glorious!

Too many things
are trying to deceive.
Oh, Lord, may we always
the Truth receive!

Keep the faith in Jesus and Him crucified-

Oh! Lord, to all the blind, please,

Joy unspeakable
Full of glory
Thankful for the fellowship
Everyone's telling their story

God's pouring down blessings
When we put Him first
Drinking the blood of Jesus
So we will never thirst

Do not be lukewarm
Yes, we are extreme
Crucified with Christ
In rushing Living Water stream

It is ALL in the Cross
Eating Jesus' flesh
In the Holy Spirit's power
He makes us fresh

From His purging blood,
In His glorious love, I groan.
Touched by the Almighty
Laying my ALL at His throne.

People our way
How amazingly He sends
The Light of the world
Broken hearts He mends!

The Holy Spirit did you receive?
Are you gonna be cold or hot?

I want to feel
Your gentle mighty touch
In a place that's not my home
The errands seem too much

And Your majestic thunder

Pray in Jesus' Name

Holy Fire from Above
In every fiber, He burns
To Jesus' Cross
My ALL always turns

To the fishermen of people
More souls He sends
Pours healing power
Broken hearts He mends

Trusting God's strength
Constantly we pray

Helps you walk on water

Trust in the Lord

Don't rely on your understanding

The Lord's grace always will suffice
Jesus' blood heals the wounds
Freedom in His wondrous sacrifice!

Seeking for the Light

Seeking for the Light

With all i have within me
i give You praise!
The world may say:
"It is just another craze!"

Are you broken?
Is it heavy on your soul?
Again in the darkness
You don't wanna crawl

Seeking for the Light
To get you out of this maze
Jesus finds you
You see it's not another craze

Beauty from the Almighty
End of the sinful strife
Washed in the blood of Jesus
Headed to eternal life.

The Great Reward

The Great Reward

"Holy IS the Lamb!"
His praise is always in my mouth
God's greatness is unsearchable
For His joy, my heart wants to shout

I run the race
Press forward, to obtain the prize
In Christ, we can move a mountain
No matter what its size

We may be tired
But He IS our strong tower
Constant stream of love, from Above
Refreshed, endued with power

"Holy IS the Lamb!"
Victory in Jesus' precious blood
Freedom in the Holy Spirit
Glorious Living Water flood

The world pulls and presses
The Lord is always in my mind
In the world, but not of it
His Will I always seek to find

Abiding in Christ Jesus
Nourished by the true vine
Long to spread the Good News
But not throw pearls to swine

Running the race, forward
Forgetting the past
Crucify the flesh, every day
The world's lusts, constantly fast

Deny self in the Lamb's Cross
Hold on to God's Word, the mighty sword
Walking in the Spirit
To be in His Presence, the great reward.

The Reason for my Hope

The Reason for my Hope

I went out to tell the world
To give the reason for my hope
To shine the Light Jesus
I thought that I could cope

I was with a thankful heart.
The Spirit whispered: "Just be ready."
Keep your faith in Christ and Him crucified.
In Christ, I knew my faith is steady.

I was about to put the whole armor
Wanted to plant another seed
Sadly, my mind was not protected
I forgot the helmet that I need

Then the question followed
I was asked the reason...not ready to defend
Grieved the Holy Spirit..cried..
WHY did I have to pretend?

"Why are you always joyful?"
"Because of Jesus" - I did not say
Losing the chance to witness
For our sins He did pay

I relied on my self for a minute
Forgot that on my own I am weak
Nothing I can do
Unless His strength I ALWAYS seek

Father, today You taught me
My hope resting fully upon the grace
of the salvation in the Lamb
the revelation of Jesus Christ
By the power of Your might
With Your strength, I go on in this fight
