Two thousand twelve, it is now here, oh could this be that awesome year,

When Christ in all His glory and worth, returns for those of His on earth,

Who await with baited breath their Lord, to finally be forevermore,

At one with Him, in heaven reside, to live forever, with Christ abide.

Oh we have waited for so long, with patience and with faith that’s strong,

For that great day, to gaze into, the eyes of Him Who’s made us new,

For so in sin we all once were, but by God’s Spirit He has transferred,

On Christ the sins that once were ours, and now we’re His bright shining stars.

His glory can be seen through us, all those who’ve put their faith and trust,

In Jesus, the Great Morning Star, Whose loved and cherished Bride we are,

In whom the Bible clearly tells, in us, oh yes, His presence dwells,

And one day we’ll behold the face, of He, Who’s given us such grace.

For soon will come our wedding day, when we’ll be dressed in glorious array,

When we will walk down heaven’s isle, take Jesus hand and greet His smile,

When we will then unite and be, rewarded immortality,

When we will fully be made one, with God’s most perfect Holy Son.

And oh those wedding bells shall ring, and all the heavenly hosts will sing,

For all will then rejoice in song, on that great day for which we’ve longed,

When words come true, those that of old, that long ago, have been foretold,

Of that triumphant day to come, when we’ll be married to God’s Son.

The wedding feast is being prepared, the table’s spread, with utmost care,

And all is ready, and all’s in place, for that great day, all by God’s grace,

So let the celebration begin, even now, before, in our hearts, within,

For we are Christ’s, His chosen Bride, Whom He longs for, to be by His side.

“For the Lord, Himself, shall descend from heaven with a shout,

with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God:

and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then we which are alive and remain

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,

to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with The Lord.”

I Thessalonians 4:16,17

Expressions of Truth copyright 2012

Then and Now

Let Your Spirit fill me Lord, with poems from above,
Sonnets that speak forth to all, of You and of Your love,
With words of comfort and of truth, may my pen flow free,
That through these words, some will find, their refuge Lord, in Thee.

With beams of light, pierce through the night, bring joy unto the sad,
Lifting hearts and drying tears, the sorrowful make glad,
To those still lost, good tidings bring, that they may know You, Lord,
In spite of all their many sins, their lives can be restored.

For I was once just like them Lord, deceived, not knowing You,
Until the day I heard Your call, I was oh so blue,
The pains in life had brought me to, a place filled with despair,
I did not know, back in those days, there is a Lord Who cares.

Far off and drifting out to sea, the waves they rose so high,
The turmoil that was in my life, caused me to want to die,
But then Your hand reached out to me, I felt Your gentle grasp,
That lifted me up from the depths, and I found love at last.

For never had I known Someone, who'd pay my penalty,
For all the sins that I had done, but You, Lord, did for me,
You sacrificed Your very life, that in You I could be,
Delivered from the curse of death and from all sin set free.

I've now a crown of beauty, I'm glad and mourn no more,
I've praise instead of heaviness, my past, You've closed the door,
All things are new, I'm born again, I've now a destiny,
Predestined, called, anointed, and now glorified in Thee.

Who'd think that once, so long ago, and oh so far away,
A wretched sinner, that was lost, would find such peace one day,
Then put to rhyme for all to see, the glorious work that's done,
When just one sinner turns to God, and received His only Son.

The Love of God

There is a word that we call love, it's lived out day to day,
It's in our actions, in our thoughts, in all we do and say,
And if our love is only for, the love to us returned,
Is this but not a selfish love, and only self concerned?

This is not of the love of God, no sacrifice it bares,
Nor does this love have any depth, of mercy or of care,
It can't reach out to others needs, the hurting it can't see,
It only thinks of its own wants, and serves the love of me.

So how much of this word called love, can you and I display?
It all depends on if we'll let, Christ in us have His way,
This means that we must die within, so we will then impart,
The love and peace of God supreme, as Jesus rules our hearts.

No toil it takes when love it flows, God's love in you and me,
To love the lost, to love His own, and help to set men free,
No greater joy have we to know, then God, He loves us so,
That in return, we'll do His will, as in the world we go.

There'll be no mountain that's too tall, no river that's too wide,
There'll be no ocean that's too deep, when in Him we abide,
For we can love those in the world, all those who love us less,
If we will only trust in Him, and in His love we rest.

"Faith, hope and love...the greatest of these is love."
I Corinthians 13:13

"And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given Himself
for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour."
Ephesians 5:2

May I Be Yours Today

May I be Yours today, I lift my voice and pray,
In thought and deed, in all I say,
Whatever You may bring my way,
May I be Yours today.

Because the life You gave, I am a sinner, saved,
And for that now, my Lord I give,
To You, my Lord, my life to live,
May I be Yours today.

For nothing on this earth, compares to what You're worth,
Without You Lord, my all, my King,
There is no song, I'd want to sing,
May I be Yours today.

The sun, though it may rise, behold the moon my eyes,
But still the day is gone and lost,
Whenever I don't count the cost,
May I be Yours today.

For dry becomes the land, thorns, thistles they would stand,
To try and choke the life of Thee,
The life of You, my Lord, in me,
May I be Yours today.

So rain upon me Lord, the Holy Spirit pour,
Lord come, refresh my thirsty soul,
Lord come, Your Spirit now control,
May I be Yours today.

With me do what You choose, what is there I can lose,
In You I have all lovely things,
Within the life, Lord, that You bring,
May I be Yours today.

To You does my heart soar, now and forevermore,
You are The Truth, The Life, The Way,
Within Your hands, my life I lay,
May I be Yours today.

"But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God,
the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is Eternal Life."
Romans 6:22

When You Trust in Me

Seek the Lord when you are lost, and He will show The Way,
Ask the Lord when you're in doubt, on Him your burdens lay,
And if you knock, He will hear, the door He'll open wide,
All of this and more He'll do, if in Him you abide.

Praise Him through the darkest night, and He will shine His light,
Rejoice though you are weeping, your tears away He'll wipe,
Sing to Him a song of praise, that rings from deep within,
For there is always hope and peace, when you trust in Him.

So look not at life's problems, but gaze into His face,
Knowing He allows all things, and with His loving grace,
He'll move the tallest mountains, and cast them in the sea,
He says to you, "My peace I give, when you trust in Me."

"Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him."
Psalm 2:12

"He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him."
Proverbs 30:5

"He that dwelleth in th secret place of the Most High,
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
"I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, in Him will I trust."
Psalm 91:1,2

They Received Him Not

Walking in their midst, came Jesus Christ their Savior,
But...they...received...Him...not.
Bringng the Good News, to men of God's good favor,
But...they...received...Him...not.
He proclaimed as King, and peace to all could bring,
He Who healed the sick, the future could predict,
Upon the water walked, and Words of God He taught,
But...they...received...Him...not.

Then the fish and loaves, that He fed men in droves,
But...they...received...Him...not.
Words of truth He spoke, loving words to bring men hope,
But...they...received...Him...not.
They mocked and criticized, of Him spoke only lies,
They truly did despise, He Who could heal blind eyes,
Though men once dead He raised, though worthy of all praise,
But...they...received...Him...not.

Then upon the Cross, hung Jesus Christ their Savior,
But...they...received...Him...not.
In His suffering, He still spoke words of favor,
But...they...received...Him...not.
He, to His Father cried, "It's finished!", then He died,
And with His Blood He bought, those who believed Him not,
For Christ He bled for all, redeemed them from the fall,
All...that...received...Him...not.

"Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand."
Matthew 13:13

"They shall look on Him, Whom they pierced."
John 19:37

Rock of Offense

It says in Romans chapter nine, and in verse thirty-three,

That Jesus, You’re a stumblingstone, to those who don’t know Thee,

But most that do believe in You, and praise Your Holy Name,

To them all that You represent, they never are ashamed.

But those that know you not oh Lord, Your words they do offend,

To them they are insulting, disrespectful unto men,

Repulsive and revolting, and abhorrent they are, too,

To those not saved, an outrage are, the spoken words of You.

For men are so resentful, when confronted with their sin,

It humiliates and violates, all their pride within,

How dare they be admonished, and warned of all to come,

When they heed not the truths of God, through You, His Only Son.

But sadly it’s not only men, of earth who take offense,

For many Christians also do, to me this makes no sense,

I think it’s because they don’t want to sacrifice their will,

They only care that they’ve been saved, that Your Blood paid their bill.

They live for mainly just themselves, so worldly are they,

They think there’s nothing more to do, You did it all that day,

They’re saved by grace, that’s all that counts, there’s no price then to pay,

They need not bear a cross themselves, or die in any way.

But Lord, You said, take up your cross, and come and follow Me,

The world it hated Me therefore, it also will hate thee,

Oh you’ll be persecuted for, My Words that you now speak,

But blessed are the peacemakers, and blest are those who seek.

So share all that I’ve given you, go forth and be My Light,

Piercing through the darkness with My words to give men sight,

Exposing all the lies of men, that you may play a part,

Revealing all the wickedness, that lies within man’s heart.

“Behold I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offense:

and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.”

Romans 9:33

If I’ve Called You

If I’ve called you, then you must be, more faithful, don’t you see,

For I Am The Just One Who has, set you a sinner free,

‘Tis only by the Blood I shed, that you have been released,

Out from the grave of death into, a life with joy and peace.

If I’ve called you, then how is it, in you I still see pride,

Such arrogance and haughtiness, within you deep inside,

What have you done, within your life, that calls for you to be,

Self righteous in your ways without, the righteousness of Me.

If I’ve called you, you even can’t, take credit for your faith,

For even that I’ve given you, for I The Lord now saith,

‘Twas by My Spirit upon you, that filled you with belief,

To lift you from your sea of sin, so you would have relief.

If I’ve called you, then you must leave, all worldly ways behind,

No longer can you wallow in, the muck, the mire and grime,

Therefore you must resist and run, each moment and each hour,

For if you don’t, you won’t escape their influence and power.

If I’ve called you, it is because, for you I have a Plan,

Therefore you have no earthly right, to place on Me demands,

Instead you’re called to trust My ways, whatever they may be,

For I’ll work all things for your good, if you’ll submit, you’ll see.

If I’ve called you, then listen up, and harken to My voice,

And read my Word, thus it obey, make this a daily choice,

And if you sow good seeds by watching, what you do and say,

Then you will reap more blessings, that I want for you each day.

If I’ve called you, what must you do, now with the life you live?

You must now yield it unto Me, and willingly thus give,

For just as I so freely gave, My life, My all for you,

I have the right commanding you, to only Me be true.

“Tis I, Who does the calling, ’tis My Grace that befalls, ‘tis My Love that was given, when Jesus bore it all,

For He Himself, took on the sins for each and every man, to make salvation possible, which is My Glorious Plan”.

Teresa Allan

“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes,

and the pride of life, is not of The Father, but is of the world”.

I John 2:16

“Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility”.

Proverbs 18:12

A Glorious Season

God’s given us seasons, for many reasons, I’d like to share a few,

So as I ponder, come now and saunter, down a wonderful avenue.

Let’s first start with the early spring, that gives new life, from death it brings,

The sun so bright, the melting snow, that waters bulbs and helps them grow,

The tulips and the daffodils, the hyacinths, with all their frills,

The blooming buds, the brand new leaves, as all the earth, no more it grieves.

How lovely God He speaks through spring, reminding us of hope He brings,

When all mankind will rise one day, when there will no more be decay,

Unlike the grave that holds the dead, resurrection will bring life instead,

For God He will restore all things, the great and small, yes, everything.

Let’s now stroll down the path that’s next, some say they like this one the best,

But all the seasons God has set, they’re there so we will not forget,

That as we see the seasons change, we’ll also see that God’s arranged,

A plan that is so beautiful, to all mankind so suitable,

So join me now, it’s summertime, and feel its warmth, and drink its wine,

The fruits, the joys, the summer swims, the sunsets as the skies grow dim,

We frolic, we rejoice, and play, but they won’t last, these summer days,

For just around the August bend, the autumn comes, that soon God sends.

The cooler nights, then leaves, they’ll fall, the frost will come, and change it all,

No more the lush green grass we’ll see, instead a change on trees there’ll be,

The maples, oaks, and sycamores, will then explode with color galore,

A blessed time to view the land, as God He paints it with His hand.

And then the winter storms roll in, the curse of death, for just like sin,

Then life it withers and it dies, and from the earth, we hear its cries,

Such frigid cold, that no one dare, think flowers again they would appear,

But they are just asleep and still, all winter long, for that’s God will.

Then spring again, it’s here at last, to chase away all death that’s passed,

As life once more is given chance, the earth it then begins to dance,

And as I use these metaphors, they speak to what we’re waiting for,

The day when all the dead will rise, when all mankind will come alive.

The resurrection of Christ brought, new life to all, for His blood bought,

The world that had once died through sin, it soon will be restored by Him,

Then no more tears, and no more sorrows, just peace and joy for all tomorrows,

For sin and death will rule no more, all praise to God, and to our Lord.

Yes, all creation groans within, when there will one day be no sin,

When Christ on earth He takes His Throne, and hearts of men He makes His home,

His Kingdom it is soon to come, when He’ll outshine the brightest sun,

A glorious season it will be, to last for all eternity.

“For as in Adam all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

I Corinthians 15:22

“And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before you was preached unto you: Whom the heaven must receive until the

times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

Acts 3:20.21

The Fulfillment

‘Tis soon, the day is drawing nigh, the time will come at last,

When words of old will be fulfilled, from prophets in the past,

Not some, but all that’s been foretold, it will come true one day,

For every prophecy of God, will have its final say.

Almighty God, He has spoken, and once is all it takes,

And everything that’s been predicted, He will not forsake,

For He is true and faithful and what’s in His Your Holy Writ,

Will come about, all in His time, for He will see to it.

As we look back to ancient times, when He gave words to men,

From Genesis to Malachi, the prophets He did send,

And most the time they knew not of, the words of which they spoke,

But words of The Old Testament, they did obey and wrote.

As they looked forward they could see, a Savior soon would come,

They spoke of Him, they wrote of Him, they pointed to God’s Son,

Of which they would not, in their time, would their eyes ever see,

But still, by faith, they spoke God’s Words, and walked obediently.

And then God sent The Living Word, Who on the Cross did lay,

Three hundred prophecies, they were, fulfilled that very day,

And though He died, He rose to life, and with that did fulfill,

The only Way for all to come, to know God’s perfect Will.

But long before Christ came it was foretold He’d come to earth,

And before His incarnation, an angel proclaimed His birth,

Way before the world rejected Him, God did foretell that, too,

Men also prophesied His death, of which God He foreknew.

Before they spat upon His face, before He who bore the stripes,

Before the nails went in His hands, before they pounded spikes,

Before the sword it pierced the One, Who wore a thorny crown,

Before they cast lots for His robe, all this was written down.

Before He rose up from the grave, from which the stone was rolled,

Before death it no more could rule, or on Christ have its hold,

Before His great ascension up, when He was glorified,

The men of old, had penned all this, that they had prophesied.

And so we see from Genesis and up through Revelation,

How God foretold through men of old, His glorious proclamation,

Announcing that His Son is The Fulfillment that has come,

Who will fulfill His promises, yes, each and every one.

“And He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which

He purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment-

To bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one Head, even Christ.”

Need We Ask Why?

So perfect Father are Your ways, the rain that falls, the sunny days,

The stormy clouds, the clear blue skies, therefore do I need to ask why,

Why does the wind so beat at times, against this heart so frail of mine?

Or why through valleys must I go, from mountain peaks to far below?

Or why the mounting waves can be, at times so over whelming me?

Or why the fires that You employ, are they not meant but to destroy?

To burn up all the dross of sin, and therefore purge me more within?

So that my trials today, tomorrow, will not be wasted, not one sorrow.

But yet so often we still cry, with aching hearts demanding, “Why?”

As we tend more to focus on, external things You’ve placed upon,

All those whom You are wanting to, be shaped more to resemble You,

So that You may be glorified, and it won’t be vain that Christ died.

For all who verily are Thine, whose faith is truly genuine,

Will surely each test far outshine, as they stand firm and strong each time,

Then You and Your Light most of all, will shine forth from those You have called,

And they will be a witness of, Your truth, Your pow’r and Your great love.

So Father keep our eyes on You, all through the storms we must go through,

Our asking why then should not come, but only praise to You the One,

Whom we lift up regardless of, all that You’ve planned for us, in love,

For we know through the trials You send, You’ll protect us like, a mother hen.

Under Your wings, Whose Almighty, we’ll always find refuge in Thee,

Therefore when times in life are hard, we know our hearts You’ll always guard,

Though we face mountains or face knolls, You are The Keeper of our souls,

We need not know, nor need ask why, instead we need to just draw nigh.

“He that dwelleth in the secret place of The Most High

shall abide under the shadow of The Almighty.

I will say of The Lord, He is my Refuge

and my Fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

Surely He shall deliver me from the snare of the fowler,

and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with His Feathers,

and under His Wings shalt thou trust.”

Isaiah 91:1-4
