Soul Armored

Source inspiration from: Ephesians by Paul the Apostle.

 

This is the story:

Riders appointed; anointed.

Lord enamored; soul armored.

We ride. Geared up.

Either solo or in fellowship,

Day in; day out;

Celebrate glory; in all creation,

See our heavenly Father,

Mountainous His zeal and appeal.

Rock garden,

Today, joyous! a clean sweep.

Fast forward, Rock garden

Another week, makes us weep.

We heed the granite; like Father God,

Never take for granted.

Original garden,

Our Father planted.

Belt of Truth,

The Word unbinds!

Freedom to ride; freedom to live.

Freedom to pray: guide our way;

Day in; day out.

Eyes wide open,

Father God, help us keep the line;

Hips and waist; true balance divine.

Oversway? Deviate? Line astray?

Free to pray: Yes, it’s okay.

Love’s labor, day to day.

Anointed armor justifies,

Healed wounds will testify.

En garde! Cactus shards, rutted scars,

Misjudged lines, angles too;

Yikes! Fallen angels.

Elbow knee guards, faithful vanguards

Full-finger gloves, Woo-hoo!.

A labor of love from high above.

Blessed soul armor sanctifies,

God’s grace, His favor.

Oh mighty righteousness.

Holy Spirit in our genes,

Cytosolic, metabolic, symbiotic

Builds us up; anabolic

Our daily bread, protein.

Helmet of Salvation;

Goggles transparent,

His Grace for all to see.

Witness, living carnation, beloved on earth.

Resurrected, ascended, transcended.

Coronated; right hand seated; justified.

Rider beware: left over-brake;

Endo Smashface testified.

Shoes, spinning radiate

Peace in motion.

Soles, saints, and souls

Keep pedal and pace.

Singletrack; singlefile

God’s country, smile after mile.

Our truth, our Gospels.

Embrace all grace.

Sword of the Spirit,

Gospel truth delivers,

King of Kings, Lord of Lords.

Redeemer: Father, Son, Holy Spirit,

United, Trinity, inseparable One.

Multi-tool, functional, umpteen-in-one.

Under the sun, we ride, pack it.

Within the Son, we ride, soul jacket.

Faith, a shield of might;

Emanates, gestates, radiates

Permeates all, firm; airtight;

Silent anthem, uplifts, hydrates;

As Saul to Paul, on the road he saw.

Treasured sunscreen, pride-free SPF for all.

Take it up, soak it up

Lest become dark bait.

Truth is glory.

This is the story.

His blood-wine stain ordains.

Appointed emissaries,

Go ahead, toast with sherry.

Anointed be your chain.

Let Him keep you and Bless you.

Let’s Ride! Let’s Ride!
