Our Labor

Confusion on all sides
people telling you
what to do, what to wear,
what to eat
making merchandise of you and me
But out of the darkness
came the Light
and shined on me
at the hour of decision
and I took up the work
He gave me
I began to build
The noise continued still
yet, I was steadfast,
unmovable
I saw the end
from where I was standing
and nothing was able to
compare to it
They whispered
in my ear
of the glory and pleasures
of this life-
all seven of them
spoke at once
Then I called to remembrance
the saints of old
how they declared to the world
that they were strangers and pilgrims
in the Earth; waiting for the Kingdom
and resisting against
the evil and the systems of darkness
because they knew
God was Faithful.


Amen

Blessing

He chose Abraham,
Isaac after him, Jacob over Esau,
then the 12 Tribes of Israel-
the children of Jacob
And said, "You are my witnesses,
to show that there is no other god
but Me"
"In you will I bless all the families
of the earth.
By you I will cause wars and violence
and destruction to end
from one end of heaven to the other.
By you I will transform the Earth
to Eden once more, when I
make new heavens and a new Earth.
For I have made you for
my glory"....


Yahawah the Father

Hero

I went looking for a Hero
One to lead us out of darkness
and into that marvelous light
yearned for throughout all ages
A shepherd to guide us with
wisdom through the valleys
and over the mountains, pass
the gagged cliffs and deep ravines
unto the broadway of the city
with golden streets
A leader to end the pain, the struggle,
the hurt, and the sorrow of a stranger
in a strange land
And I met you
and you said, "Follow me."
"And what I will show you,
eyes have not seen, nor ears heard;
the wondrous work God is about to do
on the Earth."
You reach out your hand
and said, " Do you believe?"
"Trust in me..."




Yashawah  the Christ

Evening Prayer

On the rooftop
in the cool of the day
high above
the commotions of the city
A quite place to pray
My attention directed towards you,
O God
The source of my life force
The substance of my soul
-He is the life of man-
I come humbly before you
hear my petition
consider my meditation
and my reflections of you, O God
Examine me and see
for I am your servant
Hear me
deliver me from all my enemies
Rescue me from the gates of the grave
cause me to live
that by me you may
do valiantly in the Earth
gird me with thy strength
in the land of the living.



Shalam,
Zarach

Living Hope

You said you had to go away.
How long? only the Father knew.
And here we, those that Hope in you, stand
Though the years are all gone, like the dust
before the wind
This hope of the everlasting still abides in us.
The enemies are glad that the prophecy
is not fulfilled in their days.
But they don't know, that you
don't count the days like men.
All is by weight, measures, portions,
with times and seasons, with you, O God,
as it has pleased you.
Who then is he who scoffs at our Hope
The hope of the Everlasting
and the promise of the Kingdom
Who are they to say, " aha, aha, he
hoped in God, now let God come and save him"
But you , Oh Yahawah,
art the everlasting,
you are always the same.
And though my flesh grows old while I wait
and my eyes grow dim,
I know you will do the things you said.
Like Joseph prophesied your coming deliverance and
command the people to take his bones into the promise land,
So we stand in faith,
for you art the great I Am
for you are always and never ending.
If I should die
before my eyes are blessed
to behold your beauty
on the day that you stand on Earth
again and drink the water from the brook
with your army of mighty Angels around you,
I know I will die in hope;
for you would have come
to rescue me from the grave
as you have promised
throughout the ages to them that love you.


Your thoughts are higher that the thoughts of man
and your words will not return to you void...


Shalam,
Zarach
