The Joyful Knight

His singing is powerful, majestic and full of joy

Pleasure runs in his veins that cannot cloy

The lips that praise the lungs that breathe

Words to heaven wing their sounds to weave

A hymn of glory to the King of all kings

The Black King who has conquered all things

By the words of His joyous song sung the first day

Over creations inception and birth lights ray

Of the worlds we see and those we don’t

The singing never ends in infinity’s powerful throat.

The script is clear, we read it in stars 

God’s condescension and glorious powers

That made the music, the song and the singer

To make the world above greater and cleaner

With the provision of the judges at the end of time

When the song will reach its climax so sublime. 

The White Knight

She rides in full of godly fury

Changing everything in a hurry

The night is dark and we are few

The day will arrive and too late to renew

Our souls, so hurry put these things in place

The helmet, shield and sword of God’s Grace

Put on the armour and get ready to fight

The way to heaven is won not by might

Nor power of man’s earthly ways

But by the joyful news of the Spirit’s lays.

Get on the footwear of the gospel sound

Spread it in the neighbourhood, all around

Never stop until every soul is touched

By the message so right, so pure, so loved

By those who believe in its faithful Lord

Who by heaven and earth is still adored

“Put on the armour” said The White Knight

“Get ready to sing, and speak and fight…

The White Bishop

Standing alone and lonely but right

Words written and spoken are his might

To hold sway over all who listen and learn

The one true way they must discern.

Open the book and look inside

Find your way from the Man they deride

Hung Him on a tree because He was right

Put all others away and to flight.

He stands alone with few at His feet

Not many listen to that heart that beats

To have you believe in Him alone

Commune with Him and all sins gone.

The White Bishop stands too

Getting in the way of You

His own ideas trump the day

For followers to come and stay.

The Bishops

Crowding around and jostling for position

The Bishops slip and slide – their condition

Who will be the leader of them all

The will of God will show and surely call

The right man to the exalted position

The Bishops push and pull the rendition

Of simply the best – it could even be me

Never mind the others I want to be free

To make the rules and choices for God

He needs my skills, my mind and ephod

I look so good and in public relations

They’ll all tremble at my powerful persuasions!

Modelling myself on the simple Man from Galilee

Who found Himself nailed to a tree – not for me…

I’ll be in the papers and easily recognised

As the sanitised version of the Man who cries

When He sees what I’ve done to His precious people

Forcing them to acquiesce faith beneath the steeple

Liberty has gone and freedom has taken wings

The Bishops rule ok – the church bell still rings…

The Chequered Board

The chessboard is open for business still

One day it will fold according to the will

Of the designer and maker of the mighty heavens

Making it disappear with swift, judging actions

We can line up our troops and seek a long reprieve

But our human powers are puny and us deceive

That we can change a single day or night

Slipping and sliding from left to right

Up and down the board we go

Full of pride, conceit and show

Black or white we are all the same state

Waiting for sure at the judgment seats gate.

The board is running out of time

Resources and dwindling and air is prime

The need to preserve the planet for the future

But it’s already too late for man is the butcher

Who has ruined the soil, the trees and the pollen

Burgeoning business the environment swollen

Like a dead animal forgotten to be buried

As over the end of time we have hurried.

The board is nearly closed

Slide fast to the last post

Make it to the other side

A new game will then decide…

The Seven of Spades

He’s the grave digger and will bury your wrong

Leaving you free to sing your song

Of love to everyone around and singing so high

Pointing everyone to the live long sky

He can dig because He died to pay

The price of the debt you will have to say

It was your responsibility that you did those things

He will take them away and give you immortal wings

The Man is perfect and God is holy

In the book you read His story 

His power can take the threat of death away

And His Holy Spirit will with you always stay. 

The Three of Diamonds

The world, the flesh and the devil are always at our back 

The ungodly trinity of three diamond that makes us lack

The confidence to go on and to try to do right

Undermining our skills with our armour in the fight.

The world will dampen down you ardour

For you loving God and Father

Leave you with only the things of this life

Causing trouble between you and the man of strife.

The flesh needs fed of every day

To keep you happy in the live long way

The Master has promised you His loving care 

Why worry and strive about things you cannot share.

The devil is already defeated, just tell him to go away

He cannot stand beside the Saint and never will stay

Only a coward at heart he will quickly run

Leaving you in the daylight in the presence of the Son.

Three diamond stand for that unholy trinity

Keep it all at arms length and you will be truly free.

Two of Clubs

I love you with unbridaled passion

Adore you in a godly fashion

But you cannot speak, bound up in fear

Of rejection and that you revere

Me, even though so far away

Yet round the corner, dear!

Sweep away your craven fright

Lift me up as you might

I wait for you, you must respond

For I will not with you correspond

Until you face yourself and who you are

Under the dim light of the falling star.

Six of Diamonds

Money cannot save you but love can

One feeds the soul the other the man

Cash can buy you just about anything

Love will take you on and to heaven bring.

Filthy Lucre is a losers game of chance

It will lead you to destruction by a merry dance

It seems so cogent to put your trust in it

Taking you in sorrow down, bit by bit.

Love triumphs over it all

Rescuing you from the life-long squall

It lifts you up and motivates

Putting an end to your inner hates.

The six is the man the diamond is money

All is lost on this card if you run it 

Loose the six and keep the seven

The difference is clear, hell or heaven….

The Valiant Knight

He waits on her hand and foot 

Keeping the closh to boot 

Watching over her in the night 

Switching the shifts and on off the light. 

He loves, she loves and they keep the peace

Over beside a world of the thought-police

A walk a talk a hand hold later

Will cement the love and practice for greater.

He is the Knight and not the King

He can walk and talk but cannot sing

Hold on to the vision and do not hurt

Any living thing made from the dirt.

Knights can fight and defend the court

The Queen will hold her position with nought

Her power will support her gracious hand

And the loving bond will understand.
