Walk with God

THE CHARGE OF THE DARK BRIGADE

The scroll of the seven seals
Rested in God's right hand
Until he bade his son
The Lion of Judah
To break the first seal
And the Lamb did so
And from the broken seal
Appeared a white horse
Bearing the conqueror
Carrying a bow,
And wearing a victor's crown

God then bade his son
The Lion of Judah
To break the second seal
And the Lamb did so
And from the broken seal
Appeared a red horse
Bearing the warrior
Carrying a sword
And wielding the power
To take peace from the world

God then bade his son
The Lion of Judah
To break the third seal
And the Lamb did so
And from the broken seal
Appeared a black horse
Bearing the bringer of famine
Carrying a set of scales

Finally he bade his son
The Lion of Judah
To break the fourth seal
And the Lamb did so
And from the broken seal
Appeared a pale horse
Bearing the a rider called death
With hell close behind him

With power over a quarter of the earth
To kill by sword, famine, plague,
And by the wild beasts of the earth.
The four apocalyptic horsemen rode forth
On the charge of the dark brigade

FLAXEN HAIRED ANGEL

Flaxen haired angel
Spellbinding in white
Exuding purest love
And Gods sublime light
Spread your wings
For heavenly flight

CANDLE OF HIS LIGHT

Candle of His light
Cast your goodness
In your steady glow
Across the sinful world
And bath us in love

HELL DOES NOT HAVE TO BE

Hell does not have to be
A fiery pit of brimstone
Hell is merely
The absence of God

BE AT PEACE WITH LIFE

Be at peace with life
Live in the light
For although they
Are out of sight
We are in safe hands
Both day and night
As they walk among us
The Angels of the light

ARCHANGEL MICHAEL

Archangel Michael
Lucifer’s nemesis
Angelic warrior
In the war in heaven
Protector against
The dark of night

GOD’S ETERNAL LIGHT

God’s eternal light
Illuminates the starkness
Dispelling evil
In the invading darkness

HOLY UNMERCENARIES

Holy unmercenaries
Is an epithet applying to
Christian saints,
Who did not accept
Payment of any kind
For good deeds done
Which is I think the very least
One should expect from a saint

PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD

With the Roman Rite
Of Palm Sunday
Or Passion Sunday
Holy Week begins
Marking the humble entrance
Of the Messiah
Into Jerusalem on a donkey,
So he could accomplish
His paschal mystery,
But Palm Sunday
Also marks with the
Blessing of palm leaves
The beginning
Of his journey to the cross
