The final Chapter
The Little Scroll (2026)
Blessed are those with ears to hear
Heeding all the words within
Who with patience will endure
As this final act begins
One like the Son of Man is there
Among the golden lampstands
Shining white His Robe and Hair
Seven stars are in His Hand
He sends His word to seven angels
Each one assigned a church
Scattered through a barren land
A forgotten stretch of Earth
Five are told they must repent
But all are urged to keep the faith
Glory for obedience
Or else eternal fire awaits
It’s all hidden there in plain sight
Each letter seems addressed to me
His words are burning through the night
And define my destiny
To Ephesus
Do the works you did at first
To Smyrna
Don’t fear your days in prison
To Pergamum
Reject idols and fornication
To Thyatira
Beware conniving Jezebel
To Sardis
Wake up and strengthen what remains
To Philadelphia
Walk through the open door
To Laodicea
I spew you from my mouth
The little scroll is inscribed on me
Take and eat – all mysteries told
To the tongue as sweet as honey
When swallowed bitter to the soul
It’s a profound mystery
And it puzzles still
How God’s sovereignty
Combines with our free will
To write all of human history
A story He foreknew
And also orchestrates
For the good of those who
Will love Him always
And are called to serve Him true
Prophecy violates physics
Until we realize
That time is an illusion
He’s implanted in our minds
The little scroll spells it out
Wormwood is Chernobyl
As fallout poisons waters
666 vav vav vav W W W
The Inventor’s AlGore-ithm
Commerce succumbs to Satan
The fourth bowl pours searing heat
Global warming intensifies
Until his kingdom all falls dark
They are gathered there for battle
On the plains of Megiddo
The sun turns black, the moon turns red
He brings a massive earthquake
And then comes The End
For He is coming with the clouds
But of all God’s solemn warnings
There is one that haunts me still
A temptation ever warring
And assaulting my free will
Sex outside the marriage bed
Plagued for nine and two-score years
Till it all crashed down upon my head
And I lay shattered in my tears
The little scroll is inscribed on me
Take and eat – all mysteries told
To the tongue as sweet as honey
When swallowed bitter to the soul
To the tongue as sweet as honey
When swallowed bitter to the soul
Only by You (2026)
On Earth as in Heaven
Let Your Will be done
Our voices are lifted
In the Name of Your Son
We command every demon
To depart from our lives
That You may redeem us
And shine Your True Light
We thank You and praise You
All the day through
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
Only by You, Lord
Only by You
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
In sorrow and darkness
Please help us to pray
When Satan attacks us
Please stand in the way
You never will leave us
Of this we are sure
For You sent us Jesus
He knocks at the door
We thank You and praise You
All the day through
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
Only by You, Lord
Only by You
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
This world can deplete us
Till we’re parched to the core
We plead for Your Spirit
And you send evermore
Evermore, evermore
We thank You and praise You
All the day through
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
Only by You, Lord
Only by You
Let us be filled, Lord
Only by You
Only by You
Only by You
Chesed (חסד) (2026)
It’s my favorite Hebrew word
The kindest thought I’ve ever heard
A calming comfort in the storm
In a biting wind it keeps us warm
We’re as fickle as the weather
But His Chesed is forever
Though we’re prone to go astray
He sends us Chesed every day
Chesed
He sends Chesed every day
Chesed
He sends Chesed when we pray
Two hundred forty-nine times
His Word repeats it and reminds
His lovingkindness never ends
Despite our struggles and our sins
We’re as fickle as the weather
But His Chesed is forever
Chesed
He sends Chesed every day
Oh, how I need it in my life
Through all this heartache and this strife
The days bring darkness and despair
And I just need to know You're there
Chesed
I need Chesed from You, Lord
Chesed
I need Chesed evermore
Selah (סלה) (2026)
Dear Lord God and Heavenly Father
Please give ear to my prayers
O Lord, how many are my foes
Many rise against me
They are sayin’ of my soul
“He’s beyond all salvation
From You, Lord”
Selah Selah Selah
But You are a shield about me
My glory, and the lifter of my head
I cried aloud to You, Lord
And You answered from Your Holy Hill
I stretch out my hands to You
I thirst for You like parched ground
My days are but a few handbreadths
I am a mere breath
Selah Selah Selah
O Lord, if I have failed You
If there is wrong in my hands
If I’ve repaid a friend with evil
Or plundered without a cause
Let the enemy overtake my soul
And trample my life to the ground
And may he lay my glory
Gasping in the dust
Selah Selah Selah
You surround me with shouts of deliverance
You ransom my soul from Sheol
You send from heaven and save me
I shall dwell in Your House forever
Shelter in the comfort of Your Wings
My praise shall be an offering
That rises forever more
Selah Selah Selah
Hevel (הבל) (Abel = Vapor) (2026)
co-written with BB
My son, my son
What have you done?
Your brother you’ve killed
His blood has been spilled
From the ground it cries out
Of your guilt there’s no doubt
As fleeting as fog from a breath
His beautiful life snuffed by death
Hevel
So frail
Our lives here
A vapor
Hevel
The curse of Cain’s crime
Still echoes through time
His heart filled with hate
Burst forth out of rage
Our years are so few
Take care what you do
Lord, teach us to number our days
May wisdom guide all of our ways
Hevel
So frail
Our lives here
A vapor
Hevel
You who would boast of your plans
Prove that you don’t understand
Your life’s in the Hands of the Lord
And He decrees all that’s in store
This world and its woes
So soon overthrown
A New Universe
Too wondrous for words
We’re United as One
By the Blood of His Son
Though Faith and Hope pass away
Yet His Love fills all in That Day
Hevel
So frail
Our lives here
A vapor
Hevel
Hevel
So frail
Our lives here
A vapor
Hevel
Hevel
I Still Believe (2026)
co-written with BB, Claude & Reese
I keep asking
Answered only by silence
I keep seeking
And my search ends in vain
I keep knocking
But the door remains shut
All I see, hear, and feel
Shouts that God can’t be real
Yet I still believe
I still believe
Even here in the fire
Flames rising higher
I’ll still believe
I have loved ones
Who are trapped in addiction
And others in
Depression so deep
Some who battle
Daily with cancer
All their hearts long for joy
But they’re lost in the void
Yet I still believe
I still believe
Though I lose from here
Every soul I hold dear
I’ll still believe
I still believe
God is God
He knows all
He loves me
God is good
Jesus saves
And in the end
All is well
I face struggles
In each idle moment
Sinful urges
That tear at my heart
Past failings
Still torment my mind
There’s a wound in my soul
I’m so bruised and alone
Yet I still believe
I still believe
Though my heart still aches
Over past mistakes
I’ll still believe
Till all comfort has passed
And I breathe my last
I’ll still believe
I Can Breathe (Psalm 23) (2026)
co-written with Claude & BB
The Lord is my shepherd
I will not go in need
I can breathe
I can breathe
There are green pastures
And quiet waters in my future
I can breathe
I can breathe
When I am suffocating
Under the weight of the world
You rush in, giving air
Pure air
In His Name my soul is restored
And my paths are righteousness
I can breathe
I can breathe
I still experience the shadow of death
But without fear because of your presence
I can breathe
I can breathe
When I am suffocating
Under the weight of the world
You rush in, giving air
Pure air
Your anointing always prepares a place
For me despite my enemies
I can breathe
I can breathe
Goodness and mercy follow me now
And I have eternal life
I can breathe
I can breathe
I can breathe
I can breathe
The Lord is my shepherd
I can breathe
