The “Heavens declare…” a limitless
Space, of course, unending!
God inhabits! Oh, He is there alright!
And everywhere contending!
.
.
A thief on a cross, God there beside,
What more does this crook need?
“Remember me…” when You enter heaven.
He is remembered indeed!
.
.
“Today with Me in paradise,” declared,
Forgiven, converted, redeemed,
And there was not ever an altar call!
And that was enough, it seemed—
.
.
As a thief on a cross, God there beside,
What more do criminals need?
“Remember me!” It is a painful cry!
He is remembered! Indeed!
.
.
The right from wrong, He only determines,
Whatever the judgement pending.
Since the “Just shall live by faith in God,”
Many criminals contending.
.
.
I left the Marines in a borrowed car.
So long before you were born.
So this silly kid tried to reenlist, ha!
Rejected, of course, forlorn!
.
.
So I tried the Army, found my home,
Did expert with the rifle,
Sure, as I in the Marines,
Just had to add this trifle.
.
.
Figure this, no relation but another Cox,
Same outfit, news came in
Made expert also thought most unusual!
So what is in a name?
.
.
But no matter I am in God’s Army, now!
Forget all the expertise
To be His greatest, humble yourself!
Pray! Down on your knees—
.
.
To the Christ, consistent, theophany,
Very person of God!
Can any presence ever be more real?
Than Jesus our Lord?
.
