Echoes thunder in my head like lighting
Flashing within my soul
Guilt pierces the night
Revealing the excuses stained with sin
Father help me I need You so!
Forgive me
Bring Your sweet rain of peace
Within my soul
Soft and tender
Banish this storm of regret and condemnation
Quiet the voices that thunder out their lies
Cover me with Your wings of love
And I will be safe.
Thunder rolls across the sky
Clouds tremble at the lightning strike
Rain pours from the soul of the storm
No longer able to contain it’s power
Such is life!
Life events shake us to our core
We tremble in fear at the very sound of turmoil
When life suddenly flashes across our being
With heartfelt pangs of regret
We cry. For we too have touched
The soul of our own storm and now it’s personal.
I hear the angels
Calling out His Name
I hear the angels
His love they proclaim
I hear the angels
Singing up on high
Singing of His love
In Heaven’s great sky
I hear the angels
Singing in my spirit
I hear the angels
Oh! How I feel it!
I hear the angels
Calling me to see
Calling, Yes calling my Master to me!
I will sing my song for Jesus
Because to Him my soul belongs
I will sing of His dieing to save me
I will sing of His glory devine
I will sing my song for Jesus
Praying that others will sing along
I will sing praises to His Name in Glory
I will sing of the great eternal story
I will sing my song for Jesus
Because to Him my soul belongs.
I saw the Son of Man
Walking down a dusty road
Carrying on His shoulders
Such a heavy load
I whispered in awe
That sweet holy Name
The One, the angels
All proclaimed
Then with a nail-scared hand
Of love
He beckoned me to come
I felt the warmth
Of His embrace
As I met the Son of God
Face to face.
The peace of God
Came as Light from above
Hurrying on
Angels wings of love
The glory of God
Came inside my soul
Carrying away
All fears and woe
As my praises went up
Into the heavenly skies
He dried the tears
Of this grateful child.
This poem came out of a time when my life had been put on hold to help others and harsh words had hurt me deep within my spirit but Jesus had my back and helped me through this trying time.
Life is a leveler
And seeks it’s own
Then wants more
Emptying my soul of joy
When the stress gets to bad
I stumble in the darkness
Tripping over my own thoughts
What else do I have-
That is worth the fight?
Do I hang on to this?
Or let go of that?
Will it matter in the end?
What will I do-
When I finally break?
Will anyone care?
And put me together again?
Words maybe if soft and sweet
Could be just the thing
That is needed to fix my heart
Love seems to be the thin veil
Used to cover up the cause
I evidently did or said
Something that was wrong
When everything is finally done
And all the lights go out
Will joy come back out of the dark
And caress me in the night?
A Savior came from on high
To save their souls and to testify
He was their eternal Legacy sent by God
Who was to be honored and glorified
“We’ll preach the Word from coast to coast!”
The people they all cried.
Then put Him on cruel Calvary
When for His kingdom they were tried.
They feared Him. They knew not why.
So they watched as He went to die.
They watched as He was crucufied!
“Forgive them!” They heard Him cry.
Then for their sins He had to die!
OH, GLORY BE TO GOD! HE DIED FOR ME!
So I will be Your testimony!
I will live my life as You will see
To the very best of my ability!
And with the help of Your Spirit true
I will honor this Legacy sent from You!
Jumbled words
Fell from my mouth
As I made my excuses
Why I didn’t have to listen
To their voices of concern
For my eternal soul.
“It wasn’t my fault!”
“Everyone is doing it!”
“It’s my life and I’ll do what I want!”
“You can’t tell me what to do!”
“I’m grown now!”
“You are not my boss!”
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
Flames of fire now
Lick at my soul
I knew everything in my arrogance
Thought I was something
On my own and told my parents so
With the cruelest of attitudes
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me of what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
“Daddy, I am so sorry!”
“Mama, can I wipe your tears away?”
“I want to feel your cool hands of love
Upon my brow again!”
“It is so hot here!”
“Darkness!”
“Oh, God forgive me!”
Cool hands caress my face
I open my eyes
Daddy’s prayer so full of love
Wakes me from my horrible dream.
I am awake now but eternally changed
For with love all is not lost!
I have listened and finally heard
Their voices of sweet, saving love.
When my life took
It’s turn towards the bad
Jagged edges of my soul
Lashed out with all it had
Blaming tongue-regretful sighs
Pointing fingers mirrored
By accusing eyes.
I chose this path
Trodden down so well
Not one person made me go
Seemed easier-this road to hell
With it’s trail of thorns
Wasn’t anyone else’s fault
No one but my own.
Now I just need to repent
Of self-serving arrogance
My pride that should have went
When it first was given the chance
I want to kneel and really pray
For God to show me just how
To be a follower of His Son today
For only in my desperate heart
Can I truly know His peace alone
And reach my final destination
This place I call my heavenly Home!
