The
Rabbi
Can't you see them
dancing in the moonlight,
Their hands reaching
up to Heaven's Gate, Come a little closer
See their faces
glowing,
The Rabbis are
singing of Yeshua's return.
Come join the circle,
Come join the song,
As Yeshua's love
draws You,
Away from the throng.
The Rabbis are
laughing
What took us so long?
To find the truth of
forgiveness,
And sing Yeshua's
Song.
Open
Your Heart
You say, I have
betrayed my people and my God.
God says; "I
have chosen you, you have not chosen Me."
Out of the heart the
mouth speaks.
What will it take for
you to see, drops of Blood?
They were shed for
you and me, when Yeshua was
crucified on Calvary's
Tree.
You say, you are
Jewish, so was He.
When will you open
your heart and believe
that the Son of God
gave His life for you
to receive the gift
of everlasting grace
shining down from His
face, eternal Shalom
for the human race.
I hear the anger
coming from your lips,
the poison of lies
the enemy whispers
in your ears, all
those wasted years
###### with bitter
tears could be erased
at the gentleness of
His grace, open your
heart and see His
face, you foolish sinner,
we are saved by grace.
The
Tree of Love
Gently it's branches
dance
with joyful splendor
as it's tips reflect
the
nectar of love.
The acceptance of the
gnarled trunk
gives hope as it's
leaves
kiss the air as they
fall to the ground.
So our lives are a
cherished gift.
Even the gnarled,
broken branches
of love's losses are
rekindled at the hope
of
new beginnings.
As we learn to accept
ourselves
for who we are, and
allow others
to do the same, we
grow.
We select the nectar
of God, and new branches begin to sprout.
as we grow even
stronger
kissed by he 1ight of
the Son.

A
Tear Fell
The hour has come
the long walk home
the slender threads
of life's dream
weave a mystery only
God can reveal.
A tear fell
as it traveled along
the lines that
careless
words, careless acts,
bruises that only the
heart felt
the tear that made it's
journey.
Who could have known
it's pain, the bit of
water that dripped
from an eye
that caught the
cruelty
of humaness,
a tear fell.
What glimpse did it
hold
as the sorrow ######
the
water drop?
What heartache, what
memories
###### the eye that
held
such a precious gift?
A tear fell.
The heavens opened,
the
veil removed and God
held
the tear in His Hands.
He gave us eyes to
behold
what he placed in our
hearts,
what He saw when
humanity was
created.
When he gave His Son,
A tear fell.
Out
of Pride
What is man that out
of pride
doesn't hear the
voice of God?
What is man that he
covers
himself with earthly
wealth,
but doesn't cover
himself
with God's love?
Oh, the foolishness
of the flesh
doesn't man realize
he was planned
with great care, eyes
to see, ears
to hear, a mind to
achieve, who
could have conceived
the essence
of life, all He asks,
is that we
Believe!
But, stubborness, and
self-love
keep the eyes He gave
from seeing
beyond ourselves,
from reaching
beyond we can touch…….
We who are human are
only beings
because of God's love.
He is the one who
saves our souls
who gave us Torah to
establish
guidelines for our
existence in this
earth, we are only
here because
of His choice, and
because of
His love.
He gives us a choice
to look beyond
what is touchable,
what is reality,
beyond self.
What is man or woman
that God would care?
In all our
achievements, we achieve
nothing, in all our
trappings we are
naked, in all our
thoughts, we are
mindless, if God isn't
there!

One
Burning Candle
One burning candle of
Jesus reflection within, kindles
The candles of those
who come under it's glow.
The flames dance as
they collect light from the source
of Divine Presence.
Each leaps to another,
as the wind of the Spirit #####
upon tile unlit
candles giving them light.
That can not he
extinguished, once they are divinely lit
By the Love of God
upon an empty soul, who hungrily
Is drawn toward the
flame.
One candle touching
one empty life, touching the Eternal Flame,
we are His candles,
the risen Christ is the Flame,
Calling us into
everlasting life by name.
(c)Roddie Harris 1\31\95
The
Mother Breath of God
Ever so gently You
caress my troubled soul
You hold me tenderly,
protecting me from the
storm clouds that
####.
Oh, Mother Breath of
God, the comfort of
Your Wings are my
resting place when things I
don't understand race
across my mind.
Thank you, Mother
Breath of God, that we are
intertwined.
You say "Come
away with Me my child, to a place
of silence where we
can be alone.
Where the world and
it's confusion is far from
My Throne.
Where My Love is
given to you, through the glory
of my Word.
take it, my child,
like the new song, awaiting to
be heard."
Oh, Mother Breath of
God, as I draw close to your
breast, and your
feathers cover over me through
every trial and test.
Let all that is within me,
the goodness you
supply, be only Jesus, and Jesus
only, will be by
mortal cry.

Life
For You and Me
What depth of Love
What depth of Love
burned an Calvary's
Tree.
It wasn't just drops
of blood
But life for you and
me.
In a world that doesn't
see
that turned and
walked away
A tree, is just a
tree.
But life for you and
me.
As we reflect back in
time
was it a day like
today?
When the Father's
Heart
broke when He gave
His Son away
Is yesterday, like
today?
It is for you and me?
What did He leave
that day?
Was it only a burning
Cross,
of years of stains,
or was it His shared
Veins,
that released a life
covered
in changes?
You decide,
does His life still
remain,
I cry yes!
as I call upon His
Name.

The
Risen Lord
Arise from your
slumber,
oh my soul.
Awake from your
clouded mind
the day of darkness
will
become days of light.
What was once a
question
will become an answer.
Deep in the center of
your spirit
bubbling up like foam
on
the ocean's sand the
Truth
will surface.
Arise, oh my soul
don't let deceptive
flesh
keep you hidden
inside
it's foolishness.
Awake, shake off
complacency and lack of
purpose
The Risen Lard will
return
and darkness will be
no more.
Nothing can destroy
the
Truth.
Yeshua said, "Destroy
this temple
and I will raise
again in three days".
What men thought was
mere stone
was God's rebirth
from their
destruction and
limited vision.
We who are reborn in
Yeshua
rejoice,' Light your
lamp,
let not the slumber
of past
hurts, unanswered
prayer,
or disappointments
keep you
in darkness.
A new day is dawning
the Truth, the Way,
the Light
will come.
He wil1 take us into
His temple forever,
and darkness will
become eternal Life.

Jesus;
The Planting of My Soul
Plant within me Eyes
to see
what was in your
thoughts
the night your Father
called
you to His side.
The night He told you
you would be born to
die.
Give me the Hope that
was
planted within your
heart
as your traveled
through
the inner parts of
Mary's
Womb.
When your Spirit took
life,
and your Father
released you
into a world torn by
sin,
and He cried,
Plant within me the
Courage
you bore being
different
that other human
beings.
As you grew in body
and the
child within died.
Plant within me the
strength to
face the fears I hide
deep inside
my mind.
When the cares of
this world paralyze
and bind,
release me from the
test of time.
Open up my soul, turn
it inside out
when all that is
within me is full
of pain,
pour out your Blood
into my veins.
Let your Word grow
let it never be in
vain
as you gave Your Life
to me,
when I called our
