sovereign closure



zephaniah 3:17 kjv  
the Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;
He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy;
He will rest His love, He will joy over thee with singing.   


sovereign God spoke and shook
in closing hook of habakkuk 
in parallel, a revealing respite i took
through His eyes, a renewed look

yes, i too stand in awe of Your deeds
thank You for ridding my weeds
that blocked my view to do Thy will
i needed to still and empty for Thy Spirit to fill

how dare we confine and limit what You choose to do
we can't fathom Your sovereignity, we have limited clue
we need only let loose 
for Your spirit to choose
to use the keys You've given us for way out of wicked noose


to rest in Your balm
of peace and calm

in face of calamity
i have all i need in a sovereign God to supply strength and sanity
to withstand manmade fears and smears
as end nears

i've got the keys
i will rejoice and be joyful in the triune God, no matter how rough the seas

rejoice evermore. 
pray without ceasing. 
in everything give thanks: 
for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

mayday m'aider

o how long must this go on?
external plunder and internal thunder
woe to us, our walls crumbling under forlorn 

in hours of darkness, shine Your light
in pity parties and narcisstic battles, come to our plight
in a world fraught with fraud, give us safe flight
in descent and desperation, cradle us in hope and might to continue fight

woe to whinnings and wondering wanderings
woe to worldly ways, idols and shortcomings
when injustice and pride stab the soul
we are reminded of man's futility and Your heavenly goal

let us unshackle from idols of our own making
let us not be drunk in stupor so we live in Your awakening 
let us not forsake truths but bow in reverence to Thee
let us let go and rest in Your peace, hear our plea

psalm 111:10 the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

dragnet of dots

habakkuk 1:12  "Lord, are you not from everlasting?"
to ramrom raps page 11 entry "omega" seeking


free me from human bondage, choking me
man's grotesque reflections
sinking into the mud of life
it's hideous greed and monstrosity
like You
i wish to be
no beginning
no end
yet feeling good
the mere mortal in me understood...


we are caught in net
of consequent idols deadset
we bit the bait
will we get to pearly gate?


meanwhile humble tumble
hear our habakkuk grumble
we await for the big rumble
for hell to crumble
no longer need to fumble
no longer evil to jumble


habakkuk 2:3 "for the revelation awaits an appointed tiime;
it speaks of the end
and will not prove false.
though it linger, wait for it;
it will certainly come..."


o sinner man
where you gonna run to 
all on that day
