I like to hide behind words
Invoking past truths I have heard
So I can gain
Without facing pain
Things I have merely observed

Poem: Fix It All
Standard“God, do You hear when I call?
Why don’t You come fix it all?”
His words, though quite painful, rang true
“My son, that is why I made you!”
Poem: Hand-Some Sin
StandardSome times our pain
Is due to our sin
We hurt ourselves
Or God calls us in
Poem: Unbounded Love
StandardWe need to learn boundaries
When we are young
To separate us
From those we’re among
Limerick: Come, Passion
StandardIn a world where sufferings out of fashion
Christ calls us to live with compassion
As we train our brain
To not flee from pain
His Kingdom, to our world, will crash in
Limerick: Obey Deep
StandardWhen we obey Christ with whole hearts
That’s when deep redemption can start
As we see His face
We’re filled up with grace
And what divides us falls apart
Poem: EVIL <> LIVE
StandardThe reason the universe
Seems poorly designed
Is what we call EVIL
Is LIVE mis-aligned
Limerick: For Givenness
StandardThe secret to life that’s worth livin’
Is how much we feel we’ve been given
When we overflow
Like Jesus we grow
And interpret earth like it’s heaven
Poetry Slam: Pro-Dem-Nation
StandardIn a world filled
with condemnation
Could His Bride become
a pro-them-nation?
Poem: Imitable Love
Standard“Treat your enemies the way
Luke 6:27 (paraphrased)
You want them to treat theirs”
Saving the world
Is really quit simple
If we learn to be
More imitable
Limerick: Loving Enmity
StandardWe’d much rather they’d bought the farm
(those Others who do to us harm)
Or at least find a way
To do as we say
Lest they be led off by gendarme!
Limerick: Good Evil
Standard‘Tis true that this world’s full of woe
And it feels like the further we go
In following Christ
We pay a steep price
And oft receive blow upon blow
Poem: Poor Choice
StandardWho in this world
Would choose to be poor
When glory and power
Grace those who have more?
Limerick: Sacrificial Trust
StandardTrue friendship is not based on “must”
But how much we risk out of trust
If we truly love God
More than our own bod
We’d leave this whole world in the dust!
Limerick: Larm Bell
StandardInverting “alarm” gives us “larm”
Good news that acts like a charm
If even a cross
Brings more gain that loss
Then earth’s worst pain cannot us harm!
Limerick: No Other
StandardIf we could have our druthers
There would be no Others
Each life en passant
Would do what I want
Albeit with sameness that smothers
Poem: Gospel Flywheel
StandardThe gospel flywheel
Transforms what’s real
Frees the world from sin
As I’m changed within
Weakly Knews
StandardThe power that I never knew
Is weakness revealing what’s true
For when I reach my end
The cross starts to mend
Those hearts that were broken in two!
Limerick: Team Teem
StandardWinning as part of God’s team
Differs from what it may seem
For we do not fight
To prove we are right
But rather, that YOU we esteem!
Limerick: God’s Dealay
StandardWhen God delays dealing with sin
We’re forced to face problems within
His plan for the world
Is slowly unfurled
As dying like Christ we begin
Radically Happy
