Whatta Day

teardrops dancing upon my cheeks
for the joy within their home
hands uplifted like mountain peaks
pointing to HIS throne
pounding heart chants beat beat beat
the voice of PERFECT LOVE
grass stains swiping at my knees
flying like a dove...

my KING...

JESUS said

JESUS said that we will be forever
eternity... never too far gone
JESUS said that we will be in heaven
eternity... it will be our home
JESUS said that HE has walked for me
through the end of eternity
JESUS said that HE has seen for me
through the end of infinity
and i believe...
i can`t wait to see
what HE built for me
when this world is gone
JESUS said that we will be forever
HE`S coming down to take us home
we`ve never seen never heard nor imagined
children run and play on streets of gold
JESUS said that HE has walked for you
your taking steps... your walking is through
i can`t wait to see... us flying free
when this world is gone..

JESUS introduced us...

(for my family...partners in travel)

i looked up at the clouds of heaven
i felt their raindrops on my cheeks
i looked out across the mountains
mine eye beheld their peaks
i approached an emerald forest
with my hands i studied the trees
with my eyes i searched the canopy
and beheld their falling leaves
i walked across the flattest plains
and my feet trod rolling hills
i waded up secluded creeks
witnessing their waterfalls spill
picking all those flowers
capturing their scent with my nose
trodding the banks of muddy rivers
squishing them between my toes
i lay on my back in a moonlit meadow
mine eyes began counting the stars
with my ears i heard a hoot owl
hooting from someplace far...

grabbing an apple off a tree
it`s sweetness was caught by my tongue
across my temples i felt a north wind blow
it`s whispers awakening  my lungs
with my feet i entered a city
i saw it`s towers challenge the sky
i saw the chariots jostling in the streets
their drivers speeding them by
i talked with the homeless in the alleys
polution corrupting my nose
the ground was shaking under my feet
from the subways down below
then i fled into the wilderness
and leaning against a tree
i contemplated everything
that i had ever seen
i peered into the palms of my hands
remembering all they had ever touched
and that multitude of explorations
now seemed to be not much...

i sat there bored out of my mind
for there was nothing left to see
nothing to explore that hadn`t been explored
no new place left to flee...
then i looked behind my eyes
and discovered a whole new world
the mysteries of my conciousness
began slowly to unfurl
the deeper i peered behind my eyes
the more i began to know
that the world without was a big disguise
and within me a living soul
it`s boundaries are ever limitless
it`s depths having no certain end
that day the man behind my eyes
became a new found friend
the universe has it`s limits
and all that lies within
but my soul i`ll explore forever
my soul...my new found friend

Waiting For The Dance

to the north danced reuben,judah and levi
the LORD was there
to the east danced joseph,benjamin and dan
the LORD was there
to the south danced simeon,issachar and zebulun
the LORD was there
to the west danced gad,asher and naphtali
the LORD was there
we sang praises throughout the city
there was no sorrow
there was no grief
the LORD GOD dried all our tears
and the city was called
THE LORD IS THERE...

birdsong

little birds singing in the tree
the MASTER lit their sky
soaring like eagles on bended knees
in their perfect nest on high
no ones heard it or had the thought
or captured with their eye
the place we`ll go when this place is not
our nests up in the sky
away we flew to where we never knew
with JESUS in the sky
a place HE built for me and you
a place where we can fly...
on little legs on little feet
we stood the test of time
JESUS took us in HIS wings
to our perfect nest on high
EMANUEL has took us there
now we`ll never die
me and you we're gonna share
our perfect nest on high

stars in HIS EYES

can you see the stars in HIS eyes
do you wonder why
do you see in the night with second sight
do you wonder why
do you think you could fly
do you wonder why
i saw a light at the end of the alleyway
i heard SOMEONE calling out my name
HE said...I died for you...lived for you too
JESUS died so now i live
the SON OF GOD is the PRICE HE`D give
for me ...the PRICE HE gave for you...
our days of pain are through
so when teardrops lace your footprints home
you can know you`re not alone
HE died for you...
HE lived for you too...
our days of pain are through...

Sean Shannon Collier

the SON has risen the stars do shine
the beginnings of the end of time
down by HIS river on their knees
singing praises to their KING
hands uplifted to the SKY
those little children never die
they never die...
i`ve tasted RIVERS,i`ve tasted STREAMS
LIVING WATERS inside of me
i don`t get thirsty when i bleed
EMMANUEL has bled for me
HE`S bled for you...
EMMANUEL...EMMANUEL
the CONQUEROR...of our hell
we leaned on YOU and YOU didn`t push back
away we flew with the BATTLE AXE...

...cause JESUS knows HIS babies
HE knows their hearts
HE knows the ones
who`ve been torn apart
HE puts us back together
and the pieces fit right
HE puts us on our knees
HE shows us how to fight...
EMMANUEL
the CONQUEROR...of our hell
take us home...where birds can sing
take us home...our KING OF KINGS
take us home...where all is well
take us home...EMMANUEL...

Isaiah 6:3

Dirty Shoes On Blessed Feet

i saw somebody standing over there
said he had TREASURE he wanted to share
he was telling the world `bout JESUS CHRIST
telling how to die retaining LIFE
talking`bout a place placed most commodious
with LOVE laughter and gleeful things
a place where birds sing most melodious
before their PERFECT LOVING KING
i could hear the TRUTH in what he said
he couldn`t hide what was in his head
he couldn`t hide what i also know
that JESUS CHRIST saved my soul...
pitching him some coins i walked away
behind me i heard him loudly say
hey dude come back,i`ve done been paid`
can`t pay me twice,don`t work that way`
i turned and saw his frazzled look
his shoes were all full of holes
i walked away holding up my book
grinning like a frog because i know....
