Morning Song

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

Words speak your halos around the moon

Eternal stars twinkle beyond the clouds

Chirping birds call through the dewy air

“Awake!” “Awake!” “Sing praises to God!”

Time is new a precious gift

Not to be wasted or ignored

Minutes flying into the past

Streams of glory ride the ocean’s tide

Misty fingers beckon to the silent fog

“Come see!” “Come See!” “Sing praises to God!”

Sleepy-eyed children cuddle on Mama’s lap

Coffee gives off it’s beguiling scent to say

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

“Sing Praises!” “Sing Praises!”

“Sing Praises to God!”

He is Here

The voices are stilled within my mind

Where are they hiding?

Silence like soft cotton is all I hear

Never have they been this quiet

I do not trust them-

They always try to be heard

One may be whining

While another cries in dismay

Why is anger not screaming

Causing it’s usual turmoil?

What has happened to shame and regret?

Where are their voices of condemnation?

Why are they so quite?

Then I heard the reason

He is here! That still Small Voice

That hushes all others

My sweet Friend and Comforter-

The Holy Spirit has come

He abides within

The other voices may try to yell

Their cruel barbs

But the One Who calms the storms

Over the wind-swept seas

Has stilled my strife and fears

He has put confusion away from me

And I am at peace again.

 

 

Glorious Breath

memories linger

haunting thoughts

deepening hole

can’t breathe

shadows dancing

reaching out

falling-falling

can’t breathe

swirling mist

lost souls

tormenting tears

falling-falling

can’t breathe

catch me-catch me

pleading-bleeding

looking up

expecting hope

lightning flashing

hands reaching

grasping-floating

saving grace

praising-loving

glorious breath

freedom-freedom

rising-rising

Glorious Breath!

Freely Given

Walk through this thing called life

Encounter the happiness

The expectant hope

Fly with the joy of the flower

After refreshing rains

This gift of the day

Freely given

Open it! and live beyond yourself

Into the needs of others

That only love can meet

Thank You, Father!

Every Trail

every trail I have come across

led to every place

I have ever been

whether I took them

or simply passed on by

they knew the way

that led me straight to you

so abide with me

stay close to me

lead as you always do

so that every place

I will ever go

is still the trail

I walk with you.

Behold the Face

I want to wash all cares away

With living waters so supreme

Sing the glorious’Amazing Grace’

See the smiles of my Savior King.

I want to wear a crown of gold

With jewels so sparkling bright

Live in a mansion like I’ve been told

Bask in the glory of Heaven’ Light.

I want to see my Master’s home

With the angels all around

Smell the fragrance of each room

Listen to each heavenly sound.

I want to be for all eternity

With my Lord and King

Praise Him with heart-felt sincerity

Hear the voices of the angels sing.

I want to walk forever free

With God’s only begotten Son

Talk with Him about all I see

And behold the face of the Holy One.

 

A Tale That is Told

Psalm 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.”

“We spend our days as a tale that is told.”

From our infancy until we are considered old

So what will our life’s tale have to say,

About our walk into this God-given day?

Were we good children when put to the test?

Was patience a nearly impossible quest?

Would we bring honor to our God and King?

If our life was to be our only offering?

Our days are flying by at eternal speed

As God is still meeting our earthly need

So will this be the testimony of our broken soul?

The tale that Christ Jesus has made us whole?

OH! We must tell the tales that need to be told!

The ones about Heaven and the streets of gold

Show the children the paths to be trod

How to be saved by the truths of God

We need to speak about the love that flowed so free

From Calvary’s timbered bloody tree

OH! Sinner listen and don’t walk hell’s path

The Word tells us of the Father’s eternal wrath

The Truth has been told for God cannot lie

There are two places to go when we die

We will be responsible for what we behold

For God has written down the tale our life told.

Gazing

GAZING BEYOND THE STARRY SKIES OF INFINITY

CARRIED BY SPACE AND TIME

TO THE UNKNOWN AREAS OF THE MIND

COSMIC MATTER FORMING THE TRIAD OF GOD

SPOKEN INTO THE REALM OF REASONING

PIECES OF BEINGS BELONGING TO NO ONE

COME FROM THE ESSENCE OF LIFE

PARTAKNG AND THRIVING

EVERYWHERE AT ONCE

TO FORM SUCH A THING AS MAN.

Enduring Grace

Day comes before the night

Night before the day

Each has it’s turn to dance

Before they go away

Darkness reaps as in a trance

Before succumbing to the light

Dawn exposes the wrongs

That Jesus would make right

Daily heeding the coming day

The blackness recedes

And backs away

Time must fulfill its alloted needs

As it searches on and on

Reaping the whirlwind

Then is gone

Shadows linger upon the mortal’s face

Coldness holds on to the heart

In it’s unholy embrace

Darkness again makes a call

From it’s lonely, hopeless place

Must not listen or we will fall

Oh do not heed this bequiling voice

Make the Light of God your chosen way

Repentance should be the only choice

For therein lives the hope of day

Within all the human race

Yes the Light has birthed and Spirit borne

The Father’s enduring grace.

 

 

 

 

In The Depths

In the depths of your eyes

I can see my soul

It is transparent with

Love for you and you for me

Never have I felt such pride

Such emotion stirring in me

Your will and mine in tune completely

Sharing this beautiful love

Our hearts bound by cords of eternity

This is a love that surpasses the known

A love that walks with the angels

On heaven’s holy winds

Carrying us to a place of sweet joy

Just to be together as we truly are

No pretense-just truth

That in itself is our gift from God.
