Galilean Sea Ministries
POEM
"Sea of Galilee"
From the Mediterranean, back to that Great River Euphrates
who can understand the waves on which I travel?
only God and my pillow know the true meaning of my soaked face
He who has an ear to hear, let them hear
Sitting beside a brook watching doves fly over a baptism
the water blows to and fro
cleansing the feet of even an unrighteous man
Sons and daughters of Jerusalem
how dare you cast a stone at my unbelief
broken sandals come with a broken spirit
mere pebbles tossed into a Galilean Sea
Can a crippled man stand upon Holy ground and live?
Can a saved soul belong to an aborted child?
He who has an ear to hear, let them hear
And....once when I was a child
I saw a Native American cry
and when the Jewish weep?
GOD ALSO CRIES

POEM
"Rhythm of Jerusalem"
My pen touches parchment, only when I hear a Battle cry!
My spoken word spews out, only when I see a Hebrew cry!
Behold! The Shofar has blown
My spiritual warfare engages, only when I hear Satan roar!
My sword is unleashed, only when I see the Lion of Judah roar!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My boat touches the water, only when I hear the Waves rise!
My nets cast out, only when I see the nation of Israel rise!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My spirit remains broken, only when I hear a Prodigal fall!
My soul lingers in anguish, only when I see a Judea fall!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My sands of time spill out, only when I hear Moses stutter!
My dust covered feet quiver, only when I see Mt. Sinai stutter!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My anger is released, only when I hear that Gethsemane bled!
My wrath is unearthed, only when I see that Golgotha bled!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My inner man is disturbed, only when I hear the Temple torn!
My outer man is rattled, only when I see a Levite torn!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My discernment is compromised, only when I hear the Righteous lie!
My insight is jeopardized, only when I see a Christian lie!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My tongue pronounces curses, only when I hear a Conception die!
My grim grammar lashes out, only when I see the Unborn die!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My body dresses for war, only when I hear of a manmade law!
My hands make ready for conflict, only when I see a Pharisaical law!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My confidence is renewed, only when I hear that Michael was sent!
My faith is restored, only when I see that Gabriel was sent!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My death is at hand, only when I hear the Trumpets blow!
My judgment date is set, only when I see seven Angels blow!
Behold! The Shofar has blown!
My journey has ended, only when I hear Fire and Brimstone burn!
My life eternal has begun, only when I see that Ole’ Serpent burn!
