Poems and songs written by Cherie Burgess 2/14/19 I cannot hold the rain. Who do I think I am to contain the Mighty Word of God? His Spirit bursts within me. Speaking His Word is my only need. How do I settle into this space without shedding approval from man? Atmospheric pressure is causing my skin to break. No matter how hard I try, I cannot contain the rain. Oh Lord let it pour. Let your Spirit overflow. More of you and less of me. Oceans of you and drips of me. Let it be Let it be Let it be 12/15/19 No more hiding No more gliding No more running away; Circles are breaking Lines are straightening My Kingdom is coming to stay; Ears are opening Crust is falling From the eyes of Mine; Do you hear Me Do you see Me Or are you too far away? I am calling I am shining For everyone to see; Come in closer Listen carefully I’m Drawing you near to Me. 12-16-19 Why do you seek a new identity? Am I not enough? Your a wandering believer Cut from the rough; Your shadow leads In this fallen world, Your image protrudes While your true identify is furled. How can you walk straight, when you constantly trip and fall? Boulders of ambition create your condition, mountains of pride create landslides You are hidden beneath mud and debris, and you can not see The person I created you to be. Yet in your darkness You try to make sense Of a heart so broken, and a hole unknown. But You can hear My Spirit groan. In the light, I stand and I see your misery. My creation is not lost It’s sunken in the deep; Covered in oppression and Obsessed with its condition; It has lost its purpose of what I created it to be. High above, with perspective enough to see, I call out to you Will you listen for me? Can you silence your screams? Can you quiet your dreams? Can you bow on bended knee? Long enough to hear me? Can you be still, and stop sputtering about? Can you stop your thoughts from racing, just long enough to know, That I am your creator and already have a plan. In your darkness You can not see. The wick I have placed within you, a potential eternity. Because you refused to listen, when I raised My voice, I sent my son to save you, from that despicable place. He walked as a man, Dressed in humility, He took on your sin, With reverential glee. He bore your marks All in My name, and He gave his life All for your gain. He sits at my right hand, interceding for you. He knows your pain, and your burdens too. Now Close your eyes, And Call out to Me. Let go of your soul, And I will give you internal eyes to see. Replace your thoughts with My thoughts, for your ways are not My own, seek Me in My Word, and know that you are not alone. Your identity Can only be found in Me. It’s time to muster your faith and believe in Me, Trust my ways, oh come and see. And when you feel like giving up, Believe with all your might, That my arm is bigger and stronger So get ready for the fight! It’s time to shake off the shame that hides you, It’s just mud from My enemy. His lies have been exposed. Chains have been broken I have spoken Now be set free. Your identity Can only be found in Me. It’s time to muster your faith and believe in Me, Trust my ways, oh come and see. My oil is pure and My fire is fierce, And Only I can pierce the darkest night. I am coming for you But I need to see The wick within you Standing up for Me. 12-17-19 The gate has been opened The enemy lurks within People are blinded By their own sin The gate has been opened The enemy attacks People in masses Falling through cracks Do you see the marketplace And what it has become? Alive and well to bare and blind Famine and Infirmity have come. My people hide in closets They do not know who they are My people hide in closets Paralyzed by fear; My people hide in closets They do not know who they are My people hide in closets Because they know death is near Afraid to wake the masses That march while their asleep Afraid to wake the masses Instead you retreat. You’ve heard Me blow the rams horn Shouldn’t you be alarmed? People have become robots To witchcraft and to charm You’ve heard Me blow the rams horn Three times to let you know My adversary stands before you Now let My people go! I’m calling all My prophets To come out of their caves I’m calling all My prophets To Step into the day I’m calling all My prophets To come out of their caves I’m calling all My prophets To step out of the gray Cast off the lies that bind you Their vines are very thick Cast off the lies that bind you Deception is his greatest trick Cast off the lies that bind you Rub the sleep out of your eyes Cast off the lies that bind you It’s time to stand up and rise. Take a new grip with you tired hands And Strengthen your weak knees; Hold My hand Feel My power And focus in on Me. My glory shines within you For all the world to see Now open you mouth with mighty roar and declare My victory! 12-18-19 Do you see what I see? I am ringing in your head Do you hear what I hear? Wake up from your bed! Get up! Get up! The time is near. Get up! Get up! The time is near! Awake, north wind! Rise up in the south! East and west, Hear my voice Roaring from My mouth! While you sleep I’ve lost My sheep They wander to and fro While you sleep I’ve lost My sheep They do not know where to go! Wandering believers Everywhere Walking in circles Don’t you care? Where are My watchmen Who stand on the wall? Where are My watchmen Asleep! Asleep! Wake up! Wake up! And hear MY CALL! My vineyards are rotting. My wine is bleak. The fragrance has shifted From spicey to bland. Cinnamon and myrrh The finest of fruits Have dropped and rotted On My land. The land is rotting It’s gone from green to gray My people are dying They’ve lost their way! Where have all My hedges gone? Oh, Sweet henna from above. Where have all My hedges gone? Oh, sweet people whom I love. Wake up! Wake up! Wherever you are. Wake up! Wake up! Wherever you are. Is there no one left to spare? Watchmen arise! I’m calling out to you! Watchmen arise! You know what to do! Wipe the sleep from your eyes Stand and strengthen your knees! Hear MY CALL! Hear MY CALL! And know that it is ME! Seduced by charm Lulled to sleep. My enemy is not weak. He casts his spell And plays his tricks A temptress in the mix! I know You were tired. You’re flesh was weak. When you fell asleep. But I forgive and I understand So I made a way to SPEAK! MY Spirit lies within you And He hears my victory call! My Spirit lies with you He will rise up on the wall! That snake is so cunning He found a way To slither through the cracks, I sent My foot to stamp him out There is nothing My Son lacks! The valley is rotting It’s had no care Weeds are spreading The soil is in despair. But do not worry I have a plan I’m a master gardener It’s ALL MY land! Fields are turning from gray to green Water is flowing from My streams! Prophets are rising to strengthen My gates Workers are tending the field. Angels listen as well! Shepherds are coming to separate My sheep from the goats. Warriors will fight for My Right To rule over this land! Do you hear what I hear? Do you see what I see? A land of milk and honey A land so lush and green A land of milk and honey Beyond your wildest dreams. 12-20-19
In the stillness of the night, Father God you give me sight. The spirit of Zacchaeus is all around; Jesus is coming! Can you hear the sound? People are shouting they line the streets, “Hosanna in the highest” With dancing feet. Hearts are pounding Excitement in the air Jesus is coming! Casting shadows, everywhere! Slow and steady Mindset ready The Lamb of God sustains Meek and mild Father and child The offering is attained! The King is coming! The King is coming! Shouts can be heard all around, Hearts are pounding! Hearts are pounding! “We were lost but now Were found!” But do you know me? Those who claim My name? Do you know me? Are we one of in the same? When I come to find you, Where will you be? Hiding in caves or in the open for all eyes to see? When wisdom comes And calls to the crowds Where will you be found? I called so often but you wouldn’t come, You people of the proud! You walked right up And stood at My gate Curious to see; But when you heard My direction Did not fit your ways You turned and walked away! You sought and knocked but you chose not to come in! Cant you see the mystery That stands before your face? This lamb of Mine Was humbled in power For your sin I gave grace! This lamb of Mine was led to the slaughter, All In silence and scorn This lamb of Mine Was led to the slaughter, Oh how My Spirit did mourn! Those of you who line My street Are you humble? Are you meek? Do you come to seek My face? When I speak the Word of Truth Will you even care? When I speak the Word of Truth Will you listen or make your own prediction? You people of the proud? You love human praise More than you love Me! Your pride is strong Your fear is gone You’ve made right into wrong! Upside down and turned around Twisted truths abound! Upside down and turned around The enemy has been crowned! Can you be My witness? Will your stand for Me? Can you be My witness? For all the land to see? It’s time climb the sycamore tree It’s time to climb, not run! It’s time to climb the sycamore tree It’s to climb, not run! Can you hear My lion? Can you hear his roar? Can you hear My Judah His scepter has been raised! With thunderous feet He readies His beat Do you hear His call? His nostrils flare He’s full of air Are you ready to stand and march? With loud voice He commands victory on His foe! Banner raised He’s ready to fight Will you come or go? The time is Now To proclaim Who you are In His name!
