Do we have
The Lords interests
In mind
All
The
Time?
The larger
Of the questions
Is to ask
Ourselves
Have we bothered
Rather, are we bothered
That we have
Sought
Or not?
Do we not
Run ahead
Run away
And go about
That which Is
To our bents
To a crafted
Opinion
To that which
Is expedient
Unchecked
But not
Unlearned
Knowledge
But not
Knowing
Forgotten the
Participants
Addressed in;[i]Thou savourest not
The things that be
Of God,
But those
That be
Of men
Whom it is
We seek
If we will not
Tarry
[i]What,
Could ye not
Watch with Me
One hour?
I am afraid
We can become
Wise
In our own
Eyes
Speaking
Of Him
About Him
While not
To Him
Praying
To our
Own head
Ever find this?
Strange to
Carry on a
Conversation
About the guest
As if He was not
Present
Tell me
My soul
Has thy opinon
Not any support
But any
Usefulness
Any
Reflection
Refraction
On the Lord
Cause Thy Name
To be
Distracted
Reverentialy
Feared
Trampled
Underfoot
Brought
Reproach upon
Dishonored
Does it seem
So important
Now?
There is still
Yet
An elevated
[b]I
It can
Deceive us
It
Takes
And supplants
And decides
And levels
A charge
It still
Has control
Has ambition
Has vehemence
And bitterness
It wants
And takes
And forces
It's
'Rights'
It
Has the
Preeminence
It finds not
The conflict
Of character
The duplicity
Of speech
The contradiction
Of conversation
It's bent is
To prove
To defend
And quarrel
More than
To simply
Ask
It is a slow
Painful
Death
To hold on
And relinquish
At the same time
Grieve not
Grieve
Not
The
Holy Spirit
Have we deluded
Ourselves
Into
Mistaking
His
Absence
For His
Presence?
And His Presence
For an imagination
Long ago His departure
And displeasure
Can two
Or three
Be gathered
Draw swords
And
Expect
"[i]I Am in
The midst
of them"
We disdain
Rebuke
And love
Rebuking
Take pride
Rather than
Forsake it
Fly
To controversy
And fear
Contemplation
Holiness
Is of the whole
And we would
Settle
For a part
Little concerned
Are we
That we have
Such
Little concern
Over our tongues
And over
What proceeds
From them
Is it not strange
That we have
Gone about the opposite?
Refuse to be wronged
And take it
Patiently
"Count it all joy"
When we are
Persecuted
Suffer
For
His
Name Sake
And it is turned
On it's head
And we count it as
All pride
That we have
One up
On the
'Heathen'
We can be more like
The Pharisee
Standing
By himself
Praying
'[i]God, I thank you
That I am not like
other men
Than we know
Look down
The nose
Or face down
On the knees
Zealots
Or
Cynics?
Do we know
The difference?
Is there one?
Are we
Compromised?
Or
Proud
That we
Are not?
The difference between;
Compassion
Compromise
Consideration
Conduct
Character
Christ
Like
Likeness
Do we care
To help
Be of some
Help
Or to just
Pontificate
And set
Each other
Straight
Honest
Honesty
Honor
Find a
Relationship
Between them?
And what of
Giving
Place
One to another?
Do we know
The difference
In harsh
In mean-spiritedness
In cutting remarks
And slander
And being
Forthright?
We just do not
Pray as we ought
Because we flatly
Wont
Not that we
Can't
We would find
If we did
Desire
To wait
On Him
Help
In our
Oughts
Comfort
In our
Shoulds
Groans
Which
Cannot
Be uttered
His fire
For
Strange fire
And our hearts
Would burn
Within us
Bothered yet
By the seemingly
Distracted
Consideration ...
Unanswered prayer?
Disturbed enough
To inquire
Why?
Why not?
One question
Often arises
What is
Going on
In the hearts
Of the 'saints'?
And in the mind
And the thoughts
Where
Is
The Lords
Honor
And exaltation?
And why, why
Is there such
Little
Concern
That we lack
Humility
When His
Is so
Incredibly
Powerful
Oh, souls
Are we
Not
Truly
Thankful?
Our worship
Reactionary
Spontaneous
Over base
Impulse
And pretense
Do we truly
Need
To be
Taught
Gratitude?
Love?
Can it be
Taught
At all?
Imitated
Copied
Manufactured?
What of
Peace
Inwardly
And joy
Rapturing
To sense
The Lords
Pleasure
And
Well pleasing
"My peace"
Not
Either\\or
Not
Abstraction
Flights of
Fancy
Or
Fantasy
Reality
Crave that?
A holy[i]Must!
Truth in
The
Inward
Parts
Desired
On both
Ends
Faith
Of what
Substance
Tested
Purified
Strong
Noble
How pressing
The question...
[i]When the
Son of man
Cometh,
(Still expecting, yes?)
[i]Shall he find
Faith
On the earth?
Fear we
Suffering?
Or are we
More frightened
By
Silence ...
My heart is
Breaking
That there is
So
Little
Concern
Over
The Lords
Misrepresentation
I repent
For I have
Done it
A terrible thing
To speak
Instead
In His stead
Might we
Come to
And end
Of ourselves
Find that
Bottom
That we may
Transverse
Upwards
Find
The Lord's
Interests
For this hour
Oh Lord
Thou
Knowest
Show us
What is
Needed
What
We ought
To speak
To do
To be
Lay us
Aside
If need be
And let us
Speak
No more
"In this Name"
Until
We
Know
It
