Sister Grace
Come unto me my darlings
Come unto me my darlings
Come unto my watering hole
Gather thee around n drink of me
Look into the deep
And you will find me
The deep calleth unto the deep
My brew is not toxic but sweet n life giving
And many secrets are hidden within
Glowing like gold
Deity within
The folded printed pages
The listening heart of God
will hear n understand
I am He the Omnipresent Omniscient Invisible Eternal One
It is but I behind the tangible flesh
of the son of a man
I, The Son of Man
Oh come unto me where you belong
The hour is nigh
When you must fly
In the twinkling of an eye
Transformed nature unto the mind of God
Into this glorious Light
And just my Light alone will rule
No human thinking of this sordid earth has a part
Shalom Shalom
Agape is my Love for you
My darling beloved!
When All Of Life’s Toils Are Done
One day when all of life’s toils are done
Should we close our eyes…
And in Christ we sleep n await
This life on earth
Will seem like a moment
For the spiritual reality
beyond earth’s dream
For that glorious hope revealed to Job
in the midst of all his pains
He saw the resurrection morning n praised the Lord, the King.
From skin-wormed body corruptible
And the Promise of which He has revealed
The wait is but awhile…
just a little longer…
while we pray n watch n wait
Looking up unto the hills
On Mt Zion
on that hill
we’ll surely stand
In our new body incorruptible
In the image of the Son of Man
Oh, beauteous lady on the hill
Darling purchased prize of God
no greater love story could ever touch …
could ever measure…
The AGAPE LOVE of our Father
in depths unspeakable …
unutterable…
Gloriously sublime!
A LIVELY STONE
Thank you Lord
for the songs of the brook
falling on lively stones
They make my heart to skip a beat
n in awesome wonder
I sit amazed, enthralled
my listening ears
drowning in the waters of Life
I am found floating in heavenly spaces n
places
in celestial bliss
in your River of Life
that is brimming n bubbling
rushing n gushing
n my heart
like torrents
burst the banks of flesh
I am made weightless
to soar the heavenly heights
crashing into the blue n beyond
and as in a surreal dream
a lightness I feel…
Then bursts the golden rays
The Son Of Man in view
casting power n strength
to run another day
I rise up once more
my Spirit filled wings span the sky
renewed like an eagle
my razor beak shall not spare
nor my talons
they are ready to war, to snatch
the serpents that hiss
n the dragons that spew ungodly fire
They are but fodder,
ashes to tread upon
The King’s roar is heard in all the lands!
they are quietened
they hide away
but the Bride is like a powerful steed
reigned n turned
by The Master’s Hand
thundering n driven
The Music of His Undying Love
plays on
trebles n clefs
fortes n quavers
the quiet pauses n rests
God's Music
tripping n brimming
humming n whistling
to the chatter of Lively Stones
in this singing brook of mine.

WRAPPED UNDER YOUR BROODING WINGS
Thank you Eternal Invisible Almighty God
you have not forsaken us
from this saddened earth’s sod
we see your hand, your purpose n plan
we’re looking up to our spiritual New Land
eternal kingdom where theocracy reigns.
We see the darts around us fly
and nations breaking with helpless cries
the enemy is roaring n diseases pouring…
we are wrapped under your brooding wings
n the Lamb’s song we now sing
feet shod for Enoch’s flight
walking in your Revealed Light
The hour is nigh
no time to sigh
we watch n wait
with your Word our Stay
strong n sturdy
your Staff in hand
we're feasting on our Passover Lamb
We’re staying in your boundary of Love
in position playing our roles
knowing soon we’ll be reunited with thee
with the family of your Zoe specie.
Praise God!
Praise God!
Honour n glory
Awesome amazing
Eternal Invisible King
THE GLORY SEAT
Oh Father my fairest n dearest
my Husband King
If I could look upon your glorious face
I would become as nothing
Thou art Spirit God without shape or form made flesh
My heart is inclined toward thee
I am a purchased prisoner of my Master’s love agape
in virtuous pursuit barging my way into,
giving my all… heavenly joy abounding
the inner man
a celebrity star
bright n lighting the dark of the subconscious..
I might not sing a lark’s song
or a poet be
or make melodies to ring
But there are joybells
to do the little most of the mostest I can
beyond duty
beyond my own comforts
awaiting a bema bar’s reward
a crown to wear
a seat of glory
be it for the littlest person in status
but highly esteemed n honoured by our Father
I embrace the intangible God
made tangible
His Word consuming my soul
I am emboldened in humility
Yea power driven
a boosted rocket propellant
hot in pursuit
action packed
a leading star
in God’s epic love story
selfish for merit points
yet selfless to the core
But does not God deal in the impossibilities of my needs?
I shall barge the queue with my services for Him to crown
for I know I am celebrated in heavenly chorus
and a priceless original expression of the Elect Bride of Christ
Thank you Father
Thank you for the unique gifts of the Bride
Wrapped in untold blessings
Healings to my soul.
Amen.
God be praised
THE SPIRIT EAR AND HEART
Herewith the unseen spirit ear n heart
maketh joybells to ring n sing
Songbirds in praise at morn
open windows n in secret places bring
There all creatures great n small
in the spring of life
Chirping
clicking cackling warbling
squeaking
cawing
a resounding symphonic bouquet
to heaven’s door to gift
I could have had a kitchen band
with my rusty pots n pans
But when I’m in the garden
It plays a piano grand
The notes tinkle on the ivory keys
of these lusty throated beauties
I grasp the opus n arias
shrill notes
dangling on the trees
Yes i pick them one by one
and hide them in my heart
Oh garden fairest my Father
You're all that I would have
You're the fairest of ten thousand
the sweetest Dove I know
My Father
Into your garden
with rhythmic steps i come
You're the cooing of the sphere
Ever present ever so near.
Thank you
God be praised
Shalom
SETTING SAILS TOWARDS GLORY
The bride of Christ has her sails
set towards heaven
she is vaccinated with the serum of Godliness
she is God’s DNA
her radar
in righteous direction of her Father’s leading
she is ready for the take-off
astronauts of the Most High God
She is a mighty warrior
immune from the toxic brew of the enemy
Sons n Daughters of God in Authority
she watches n waits
in prayer n patience
from God’s mighty Tower …
Stalwart strong n trained
with battle cries
she springs into action
her eyes are likened unto eagles
piercing sharp afar off
quickly responding
attending laboriously
a medic on the battlefield
with the balm of Gilead
in God’s army of service ….
Striving for mastery
she is not of her own but her Father’s
and all that He wills she is willing
to fight the cause
for the crown that awaits her
What a celebration of joy that would be
seated, an honoured medallist
at the Lamb’s Supper
Indeed the bride has set her sails towards the heavenly
blown by His kisses
cocooned in the caressing arms
and the loving gaze of her beloved Elohim.
Amen

A WINDOW INTO GOD’S GARDEN
I wander into the garden each morning
To catch a glimpse of God
In everything I touch n see I know it speaks of Him
The morning sunlight beams, in the brightness of the sky
The blooms of flowers, hues of Colours invite.
And like the rainbows of Joseph’s coat after the rains
A bridal arch for the bridal March
Refreshed n skipping like a lamb
I run to kiss the leaves n shrubs warmed n lively from the dew at night
I gather the smiles n the scents of blooms.
Each unque as a gift, the bloom He owns
The fertile beds, the earth n soil
All tended n watered by the Master’s Hand
I clasp the bouquets close to my heart
As the trees around me clap
The rhythm of this Garden’s heart can only sing praises to the King!
From the desert sand n sinking
Stretching out your eagle wings
Thou art the heartbeat n rhythm of the Thou art The All Existing Eternal Spirit |
Thou art The Lily of the Valley
Yes we hear you precious Father
Oh how His loving Eye is upon her
Oh thou art the darling of our hearts
Sweet Lord Jesus Christ
Amen n Amen |
MY GOD – MY STRONGHOLD
Thou teacheth my hands to war
I hold upright the sword of Truth
to do battle with the Philistines of my mind
walking the earth hither thither
Waiting to devour
Give me a heart
n know my ways
lest I murmur n complain
for thou hast shown me The Way
of righteousness
thy loveliness of mind
Let me drink of thee n rejoice in the face of calamity
I am weak but thou art strong
For thou art the stronghold of my mind
Casting away fear
Thou hast prepared for me mine enemies n my friends
in your love agape
To fight the battle of faith
Spurring on under the empowerment
of the 7th seal
For thou has uttered n thundered
N brought me to a high mountain
To know my Father in intimacy
To walk with you in the brightness of the SoM
Glowing from the inside out with the oil of gladness
The Captain of the host art thou
Leading me on in chains of love
I am strong when I am weakest
Because you have loved me
n called me your little bride
SOM thou art fair to look upon
My heart faints with awe n amazement
I am fulfilled with happiness
In the boundary of your love divine !
Amen

WALKING THROUGH THE DOORS OF DOORS
My heart is consumed
rekindled
burning with the loving fire of Thee
I am walking through the Door of doors
along the Enlightened way
in the cradle of your embrace
warmed and touched by the Son of Man
I cannot speak for words
but in utterings I know
that beyond the printed pages of your Word
penned with a gilded quilt …
a love letter unto the bride
And only the Bride will understand
the rhythm of your sweet breath
your long patience n waiting
for your Zoe family
beloved and purchased
by the sprinkling of your Blood
that speckled Dove set free,
crying “holy! Holy! Holy!” unto Thee
Indeed I am set free
from the wilderness of the fleshly man
the inside man growing
from the Tree of Life
tasting of the heavenly fruit
seasoned n ripened sweet
As dawn breaks
in the morning light
i shall go into your vineyard of secrets
i shall meditate
till the noon day sun beats me
till I am black but comely
quenched by the waters of Bethlehem
i shall be satisfied
i shall tarry still
the glorious dying sun to beckon …
The Lamb at Calvary’s Tree
embodying all the offerings and sacrifices …
broken and humbled
i am your supreme purchased prize
Thus, my Lovely One
my Sweetheart, my Darling
my Breath, my Living
how else can this heart speak
but the utterings of the Heart of God…
and Father, may it be
a melody, a song of degrees unto thy bosom
and a jubilation of praises perfectly unto thee

A THANK YOU LETTER TO MY FATHER
FIRST OF ALL I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW GLORIOUS N AWESOME YOU ARE
WE ADORE AND PRAISE YOU
FOR YOU ARE THE BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY ONE
WE ARE INSUFFICIENT BUT YOU ARE THE ALL SUFFICIENT ONE
YOU ARE WORTHY OF ALL THE TITLES IN THE BIBLE
MY WORDS ARE FUTILE BUT YOU READ THE HEARTS
THANK YOU FOR EACH DAY AND NEW BEGINNINGS
AS WE AWAKEN TO ANOTHER DAY OF YOUR AGAPE
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROVIDENCE AND THE GIFTS OF THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRY
WE ARE YOUR DISCIPLES FOLLOWING YOUR LEADERSHIP AND ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT LOSE SOME BATTLES WE WEEP NOT WITH TEARS OF DEFEAT AS IF THERE WAS NO GOD
FOR WE KNOW WE HAVE WON THE WAR
YOU WERE THERE ALL THE TIME CARRYING US
THEY WERE YOUR FOOTPRINTS NOT OURS
THANK YOU FOR THE SEASONS OF JOY AND PAIN
OF TRAINING AND LEARNING TO PRODUCE SONS AND DAUGHTERS INTO YOUR VERY IMAGE
MAY WE SEE WITH UNDERSTANDING YOUR GREAT PLAN THAT YOU DEAL WITH EACH UNIQUE PERSON
FLOWERS IN YOUR GARDEN
SOME IN BUD AND SOME IN BLOOM
WE ARE STRIVING FORWARD
GIVE US A HEART TO BE GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL AS WE ENVISION YOU AT CALVARY
CRYING OUT FORGIVENESS
INCHING TOWARDS GLORY
OUR FEET GROWING IN SIZE TO FIT ENOCH’S DESIGNER SHOES
WE ARE REMINDED THAT IT’S ONLY A CERTAIN SHOE FIT FOR THE MINORITY OF OVERCOMERS
LET US LOOK INTO THE WHITE STONE AS WE WRESTLE WITH THE ANGEL FOR OUR BLESSINGS LIKENED TO PARAPLEGICS A LIMPING PRINCE TO THE WORLD OF PRIDE AND SELF
A LAUGHING STOCK AND RIDICULED
THEIR EYES ARE DARKENED AND THEY DO NOT SEE US STANDING
A Bridal Seed For Glory
Day and night I ponder
how much have I done for my Father?
do I labour for self or others?
am I seeking this earth’s mouldy wealth?
Yes I’ve begun to realise
my gain on earth is but loss
moth eaten and cankered they’ll be
what good is that to me?
What is my life –
His Zoe Bride saved unto good works
what should I do if not to live my life in bodily sacrifice?
did not Christ die to self a sacrifice?
did He not pay the ultimate price?
Moses went with just a stick in his hand
Samson fought the Philistines alone
with a jaw bone at hand
David slew the giant with five stones
and yes indeed there were so many more
What am I?
but to offer in service all of me
springing into action
let the sparks fly!
for the glorious seeds of God’s family
not for worldly gain leisure or pleasure
but for my Father’s heavenly treasures
What am i?
I am but his seed for glory
the crown and reward I must fervently seek
and thus I say
“Oh my Father
here I am
please take me”

UNDER THE SHADE OF THE LIVING TREE
I am your dove
ringed and tagged by the Word of love
I know no other destinations
for you have brought me to roost
on the sprawling branches of the tree of Life
I am made to perch and rest
under the shade
under the healing leaves
on this fruit laden tree
of the doctrine of Christ n Godliness
The Alpha n The Omega
I am nourished
my feathers perfumed
oiled with spikenard
the sweetest of herbs
glowing from within and without.
I was in the wilderness of sin
of unbelief n unrighteousness
on man’s hunting ground and battlefield
of woes and sorrows
but you have wrenched me from
the enemy’s grip
tended to my wounds
taught me how to know
my God and the secret part of thee
thou art my quickening
the stimulating wine of youth
I am come home to your dovecote
to nest in your amazing love and grace
Happy is a heart
that serves the Lord
giving of self untold
eyes to see the Bridal needs
hands hastening to do the deeds
let my life dear Father
be a poem
your workmanship
created for good works
a work of art in your gallery
brushed and touched
by the Master’s hand
abounding in bodily sacrifice
bearing the cross of Jesus Christ
Servants in motion
objectives and motives pure
not for profit or worldly gain
not for glory or shouts of fame
but oh!
to catch my Father’s loving gaze
for a crown to wear after the race
Bearing willing gifts
let this be my end
a love story to account
a non-commissioned volunteer
beyond my call of duty
constantly in service and ready
with a skip in my steps
a song on my lips
Tis’ my heart’s cry
to my lovely One
my God Eternal Father Elohim

The Son of Man swept His Light
over the dirt of me
I was brought forth
green leaves sprouting life
Anastasia Lily in full bloom
a true Easter Seal
bound on the inside of me
I was in the tomb of unbelief, of death
of Roman guards
In the gloom of darkness and chaos
but at the rising of the sun
the gloom vanished
I was risen
I was quickened
Our Father’s free will offering
by grace transferred me
from the Book of Life
to the Lamb’s Book of Life
from the tree of death
to the Tree of Life
A cripple I was
brought and cared for
in His Inn of Life
tendered to by a Pastor true
eating the Truth of God’s fruit
within Eden’s gate
receiving wholeness
of the resurrection of Christ
God by His amazing grace
condescended as man
volunteered and died
a Lamb on Calvary’s Tree
and at His dying
as He screamed out loud
broke the seal of death unto victory
Oh Tree of Life
that provided a Way
and snatched me out
from the Land of Nod
Sunrise of my living
that gave me the secret potion
the elixir to a body change
thou art the True Easter
the Headstone that has come
to finish the building
His Bride in the season
of expectations most glorious
The angels will see
the climax of our family reunion
as we receive honorary crowns
the Heroes of the ages
how we shall rejoice!
and how we shall sing!
Thank you precious Father
for the glory of Easter
the Anastasia of me!
Amen
Here I am Lord
Cleanse my lips n SELF
With your fiery tongs
Wash n perfume me with the
Oil of the Rose of Sharon
From the deep murky waters
of shame n filth
That I sin not with my soul
Though the enemies surround n shoot their darts
May I stand steadfast
n the doctrine of Christ n Godliness
I am indeed God’s favour, His purpose
In all things, situations n circumstances
Enabling me to love myself…my enemies…
Through His agape in prayer
Giving grace giving praise
Measuring my responses
Armed with the mind of God
Rejoicing in victory n shalom
An Enoch walk unto eternity
While the world in atomic frenzy sizzles
n like a frayed thread explodes
My heart yearns…desiring Godliness
I see clearly through the brass laver
my hidden sins
When before I could see but darkly…
I thought myself a ‘perhaps’
Beloved Father
Grace came n quickened me
Speedily I must run
To His secret hiding place
And not the hole of my ugly self
For there I shall breathe the breath of God
The sweetness of the lily
There I shall find no fault
with anyone no blame
For the purpose of God
Is His good pleasure n will
I shall not fear
The shadows of darkness must flee
As the soul in obedience to the gene seed
of God’s agape receives the Light
The new man emerging
Perfumed in beauty n grace
Unto the image of the Son of Man
Away! away! with the old man
The morning sun has risen
To shine upon the new man
Yea in shalom, quietly n gently shall I walk
Empowered in His garden
in the glorious flower of His love
Amen
My desire is to be counted worthy
Worthy at the bema bar
of service unto the bride selfless
dedicated to the cause
The army of God’s mighty force
likened unto David’s men of valour
spurring into action
armed with His mighty strength n vigour
noticing every need
With no thought of monetary greed
a unicorn awakened to speed
my hands may He use
my mind with His eyes to see
the church’s needs
He has saved me by grace
that I know
Now beyond the boundary
I must go
Graduation requires the workings
I am running the race
that at the end
I might be counted worthy
To receive my crown of valour
To hear Him say
“Well done my good n faithful servant
Enter thou into the joy of the Lord”
So help me Lord from my slumber
I am awakened n surely now
n quickly
I must rise up n go!
Father
Thou art my song n the dance to my harp
Your bride is warmed to your embrace
She kisses the mouth that speaks
She walks tall and kingly
Her strides are certain n measured
This is the Enoch hour
She has her shoes ready
N the staff of His truth in hand
Though fiery trials n challenges beset her
She is meek
In godliness contentment
She is unfazed
Knowing God has n purpose n a plan
She sings praises n adoration n loveth
the enemy’s favours
In the seasons of blessings
She pauses to ponder
She searches the mind of God
‘Father what will You have me do?’
This is a test that I must pass
to please my Father in every way
She seeks after virtue
She plans her day with meditation
from the dawning till the set of sun
Her soul yearning
Willing to put into action His word n mind
Tapping untold power
A champion Olympian is she
So to His music she is inclined
She hears no other
And to His dance of life eternal
She will sing upon her harp till in a
twinkling she takes flight
All our yesterdays have tomorrows Our Father
His nature n loveliness
God drew back the curtains
A new body He has given |
Bride Extraordinaire
In His glorious presence we bow
Sis Grace |
Make my mountains a plain dear Father
that I sin not with haughty lips and a high head of pride
let meekness becometh me
let me walk softly and gently
for there’s a mountain set for me
a mountain high that I must climb
the summit of love divine
let me walk tall and kingly
my head bowed low in Deity’s gold
let the SOM shine His light upon me
my heart to glow with Godly humility
meek as a lamb
gentle as a dove
bridle my mouth and open it
with gracious words and the splendour of your Love
hold the reins of me
direct me
turn the corners of my life in servitude unto thee
oh make haste to help me Lord
that my plain be tender n soft to tread upon
that the briers and thistles that trouble
will be nothing and if anything at all
for greater is the one who makes himself lesser
and esteemeth the other better
oh Lord
how wise thou art
you have made my plain to blossom
a single rose to be my garden.
