THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NAME

We have been given a name
that’s above every name
Receive and belief,
in the mighty name of Jesus

Jesus, Jesus,
there’s something about that name.

When in times of trouble
conflict and sorrow
No hope, for tomorrow
I can always say that name

Jesus, Jesus,
there’s something about that name.

Demons tremble
at the sound of that name
Just say the name of Jesus
and they will go away.

Jesus, Jesus,
there’s something about that name.

He is the christ, the messiah,
lord of lords, king of kings.
Alpha and omega.
And Jesus is his name.

Jesus, Jesus,
there’s something about that name.

SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

showers of blessings fall upon us,
as we worship your name.

You are worthy, truly worthy,
worthy to be praised.

We surrender to your splendor,
love, power and grace.

Send us showers, copious showers,
showers of blessings today.

SAIL AWAY

Sail away, sail away.
Sail away to a distant shore.
To my home far away,
there to live forevermore

Dark clouds, lightning and thunder.
Howling winds, tormenting waves,
threaten my ship to go asunder.
I am despondent and dismayed.

Must stay my course and persevere.
Doubt and fear must disappear.
Sail away, sail away.
I must get to that distant shore.

Morning is here, I see the light.
Hope is alive. Land is in sight.
Sail away, sail away.
Soon I’ll be home, forevermore.

EXPRESS TRAIN TO GLORY

Do you hear the train whistle blowing.
Coming over the horizon.
Will you be ready to board,
when the train arrives at the station.

//Come on board. Come on board
This train is bound for Glory//

No need for luggage. Come as you are
You’re ticket is paid for,
by the blood of the lamb.

//Come on board. Come on board
This train is bound for Glory//

This nonstop express to heaven
will get you there in a twinkle of an eye
The angels will be there
to see that you have a safe ride

//Come on board. Come on board
This train is bound for Glory//

IF YOUR LEFT BEHIND

He will come as a thief in the night.
No one knows the day or the hour.
When we’re caught up into heaven.
In a twinkle of an eye.

If you are left behind.
Be not worried or dismayed
There is hope. I ts not too late.
Just believe in Jesus Christ.
He’s the way, the truth and the life.

//Do not wait for that day.
You don’t know what tomorrow brings.
Be sure of your salvation.
Receive the Lord today.//

LIKE A WELL WATERED GARDEN

When dreary clouds are all over.
And you don’t see the light.
You only hear the thunder.
And there is no place to hide
// Just let him into your heart.//

He wants you to come closer.
He’s been with you from the very start.
He has a plan for you to discover.

//Just let him into your heart.//

The Lord will guide you always
he will satisfy your needs.
You will be like a well watered garden,
Like a spring whose water never fail

//Just let him into your heart.//

He wants you to come closer.
He’s been with you from the very start.
He has a plan for you to discover.

//Just let him into your heart.//

WHEN LOVE PASSES YOU BY

Love came and moved along.
Doubt and fear ruled my life.
Will I forever be alone?
Time has passed me by.
Nothing seems to change,
though doubt and fear no longer reign.

With hope and faith alive.
I am free to answer my call.
I have love in my life,
not for one, but for all.

The world should know,
of a love that never fails.
It’s eternal and will forever flow,
that through time it will prevail.
The amazing love of God.

ONLY YOU

Who laid the foundation for the Earth?
as the morning stars sang together?
Who laid its cornerstone
as the angels shouted for joy?

Only you, only you.
Only you, all mighty God

Who made the borders of the seas,
when they gushed up from the deep?
Who stopped the seas by giving them shores?
Who said this is where your waves shall seize?

Only you, only you.
Only you, all mighty God.

Who commands the morning to appear?
Who caused the dawn to rise in the east?
Who has told the daylight to spread?
Have you ever dressed the dusk in red?

Only you, only you.
Only you, all mighty God.

Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain?
Can you cause lightning to strike,
wherever you want it to?

Only you, only you.
Only you, all mighty God.

LITTLE TREE

Little tree remember the spring.
When your white flowers were in bloom.
We frolicked in your shadow.
On you, our names and hearts we engraved.
//As a sign of our true love.//

little tree now that winter is here.
My love has left me. I fear.
When all seems so silent and bright.
I am alone with the chill of the night.

My friend, little tree.
If by chance you see her pass here.
Don’t tell her of my tears.
//Just tell her that I love her.//

Spring flowers will soon appear.
I will face tomorrow, without any fear.
I will never forget that spring day,
When upon you little tree.
//Our love was made so clear.//

17. ABBA FATHER

Abba father. Your adopted child.
Worships and honors you.
Gives praises to your name.

The thought of you,
brings joy to my heart.
Knowing that you’ve cared for me.
from the very start.

Your the perfect dad.
Unfailing, forgiving and faithful.
No fear, of abandonment
No fear of the unknown

Under your wings,
is where I want to be,

through eternity,

Abba father God.

16. NATURE WILL REVEAL

A Silver lining, in a dark cloud,
is a glorious sign.
that all things, will work for good,
to all those who love.

The rainbow after the storm
is a solemn promise.
reminds us of his faithfulness
In him we will find solace.

The wind at my back
gives me confidence.
the push I need to get me through
Helps me to go on

The sun shines for all,
whether worthy or not.
Dissipating the clouds in our lives
Remember to be thankful

Snow flakes falling.
All is silent and bright.
Putting aside all the cares of the world,
this peacefull winter night.

Nature will reveal.
Just listen, look and feel.
It will not conceal.
That his love is real.

15. AS THE DEER PANTETH FOR THE WATER

As the dear panteth for the water.
My soul longs for you.
Leaving the past behind me.
Pressing forward on to the end.

Let me be like the lamb,
you shephard through green pastures.
Give me wisdom, knowledge and comfort.
let me hear your voice, to guide me.
Do not let me go astray.

Let me fly like an eagle,
over the tallest mountains,
leaving behind the cares of the world.
And let me glide to my resting place,
under the wings of the father.

Give me the strength of a lion,
to stand on my conviction.
not to waver when times get rough.
let me reign over my turf,
with pride, in who I am, in the LORD.

14. THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Global warming or climate change.
Hurricanes and tornadoes.
New discoveries in outer space.
Earth quakes and volcanoes.
droughts, floods and fires in the news.
Solar flares from above.

//These are the signs of the times.//

The spirit of tolerance is in the air
Religious persecution.
Right is wrong and wrong is right.
Confusion, disillusion.
We lose our freedoms for security.
Self reliance for dependency.
Fascists, tyrants and Terrorists.
Politically correct will censor you.

//These are the signs of the times.//

Something’s coming beyond the horizon.
Could be good, or could be bad.
You are free to choose your tomorrow.
So wake up! my friend and decide.

//These are the signs of the times.//

13. A LIVING SACRIFICE UNTO THE LORD

Glory to Jesus, the perfect sacrifice.
Gave up his throne of glory,
to humbly live among men.
Let not my will be done, he said,
as he prayed in the garden.
The agony he felt was evident,
in the drops of blood he sweat.
He drank from the cup of horror.
as he obeyed the Father.

//I want to be, a living sacrifice, unto the LORD.//

Give me the power of your grace,
to overcome and obey.
To live holy, day by day.
and to obey to the Father.

//I want to be a living sacrifice unto the LORD.//

12. I WISH EVERY DAY WAS CHRISTMAS

Christmas, season
is a good reason to be jolly.
Sleigh bells ringing, carol singing
Christmas trees and holly.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
children playing in the snow

In this joyous season of giving.
Give Jesus your very best.
Give him your heart.
//And every day, will be Christmas.//

No more sadness only gladness.

Joy, unspeakable.

to the King//

The Seven Churches ( John's Vision)

2012-01-20T16:10:00.000-05:00

I was in the Spirit [rapt in His power] on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a great voice like the calling of a [i]war trumpet,

Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. Write promptly what you see (your vision) in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia--to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.

Then I turned to see [whose was] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands,

And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast.

His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire.

His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday.

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last,

And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).

Write therefore the things you see, what they are [and signify] and what is to take place hereafter.

As to the hidden meaning (the mystery) of the seven stars which you saw on My right hand and the seven lampstands of gold: the seven stars are the seven angels (messengers) of the seven assemblies (churches) and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

The Artist

2011-11-25T07:42:00.002-05:00

I've been an artist all my life. When I was in the second grade I remember my teacher was impatiently waiting for me to finish a drawing so she could hang it up on the wall. She anticipated that it was going to be good. I thought nothing of it. I just liked to draw.

When I was about 12, I would sit by the curb in the Bronx and sketch the cars parked on the street. After a while I would attract a crowd. I learned to draw Superman, Donald Duck and Popeye by memory.

Creating works of art would take me to a special place. It became a refuge for me. A refuge from a speech impediment. I do not stutter with my brush strokes. They are smooth, precise and intentional. — Erasmo

In The Garden

I come to the garden alone
while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
the son of God discloses

And he walks with me and he talks with me
and he tells me I am his own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
none other has ever known

He speaks and the sound of his voice
is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that he gave to me
within my heart is ringing

And he walks with me and he talks with me...

Immanuel (God with Us)

and give birth to a son

Mathew 1:23

Not Alone

2011-02-01T11:59:00.005-05:00

HE WHO dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I trust!

For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only a spectator shall you be as you witness the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,
There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways.

They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.
Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation. Psalm 91: 1-16

He is Risen

2011-01-08T14:10:00.009-05:00

But the angel said to the women, Do not be alarmed and frightened, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, Who was crucified.

He is not here; He has risen, as He said [He would do]. Come, see the place where He lay.

Then go quickly and tell His disciples, He has risen from the dead, and behold, He is going before you to Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.

John's Vision of Christ

2011-01-08T13:16:00.023-05:00

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

“Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands
are the seven churches.

INSPIRATIONS

2010-11-21T17:08:00.010-05:00

I am inspired by a clear autumn day in the greater Rochester area, when the sky is blue, and the tree leaves begin to turn red, yellow, orange and gold, a trip to the Lilac Festival in the spring, trees decorated with snow in the winter, and the beaches of lake Ontario in the summer, a walk through the rain forest in Puerto Rico, ( my birthplace ) where it rains four times a day producing many water falls throughout the forest, where I saw plant leaves that are as large as an umbrella. I am inspired by birds and animals, by the amazing images of outer space taken by hubble, the space telescope.

The universe is awe inspireing. As I contemplate outer space, I see intention and intelligent design. There are those who believe in the theory of evolution, that everything came into existence by chance. Those who walk in the dark are incapable of seeing the truth. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life. And he said. I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the light, which is life.

I am inspired by my belief that God has extended his creative power to humankind. He created us to be creative. He has given us talents that should be developed. We have excelled in science, technology and the arts. We construct buildings, and infrastructure, manufacture airplanes and automobiles, we travel through outer space, and create great works of art. The bible inspires me. Words that reveal Gods immense love for all. Like in John 3:16, where it says; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Words like these would motivate me to create works of art, to share with others, the gospel truth.

May my words and art work inspire you to choose to walk in the light. and if you do walk in the light, to continue in faith, from glory to glory.—Erasmo

El Yunque

2008-09-13T12:22:00.011-04:00

Located on the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico in the Greater Antilles group, the El Yunque National Forest is the sole tropical rain forest in the U.S. National Forest System. The forest’s relatively small 28, 000 acre size belies its importance. It differs significantly from all the other U.S. National Forests because of its year-round tropical climate and immense biodiversity.
