He Speaks To Me
He speaks to me in whispers
I love to hear His voice.

He touches me in the breeze
I love to feel His touch.

He guides me down
Streets and paths.

I love to hear Him laugh.

He fills me with words
That form and then pour out.

He held me in His arms
When life tossed me about.

He filled my heart with dreams
And made them come to pass.

I LOVE to hear Him laugh.

Surrendered
I wanted God's touch so bad
Yet didn't know He'd come so close
My mind saw Him beyond the sky
When all the time He was close by.

Amazingly I felt His arms tight, yet tender
It happened after all
When I told Him I'd surrender.

Just For You
"Just for you" was what He said
I kept hearing it in my head
I thought it was a clue
Of something I should do

Instead He came
Turned my chains into gain
Straight to my core he went
Removing those fears lent

A greater hope and confidence
"I'll rescue you", He said to me
He did just that 
Then set me free.

Beauty
Beauty is the beginning
of what I see each day;
God in all his glory,
sending things my way.
A beautiful sky,
a sparkling sun that shines;
a raindrop on my window,
bringing peace to my mind.
A bird flying high;
trees bare, and some with leaves.
A smile from a passerby,
a light summer breeze;
whatever the day may bring,
there’s beauty to be seen.

One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; 
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, 
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.
   Psalm 27:4

Destiny
To some unknown place
or far off land
My road lies
in the father’s hands.

There may be detours
along the way;
or even repetition
losing tracks in the sand.

In all of creation
His greatest; man
With destiny laid out
He made all the plans.

Top


Hope
My hope is in God
His promises, salvation and love
He is so great
And he cannot lie
He’s a giver of things
Not seen with the eye
My hope is that
My faith never dies
That I keep hoping in him
Despite any circumstance
My hope is that nothing
Happens by chance
That life’s every lesson
Is his to command

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.
     Proverbs 13:12

Top


Believing
My heart’s in a quandary;
meditate or do laundry?
I ask for strength
and not to panic.
My faith is stronger.
My fears no longer
outweigh the good
and perfect gifts.
His grace and mercy
sufficient for me;
I share this true belief.

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, 
but a spirit of power, love and a sound mind.
     2 Timothy 1:7

Heavenly
Screams died
Ghosts cried out
Their disbelief
Humans ascended
Their souls awakened
As they laugh
Past the pain

Top


Free
I wanted to feel His presence
He granted my wish
He walked with me through storms and pain
Shielding me and protecting me
He refined me
And set me free

Top


God's Love Surrounds
Your love surrounds me
I can feel it from day to day
Your love surrounds me
It's wider than any sea
It guides me along each pathway
You make me more than okay
Your love surrounds me

Top


The Christian
An open field to the Christian
Is a pathway to sailing past the null and void
Well traveled in sorrow, by foot
Yet lighting the way to our Lord

An honest man hustling
To free himself
From the symmetry of trials
The Christian paused and knelt.

His eyes brimming with tears
The Christian was healed that night
As trials and darkness fled
Scattered by the moonlight

Top


A Tender Moment
He remembers His promises
even in the darkest days.
His love pours down
like rain from a thundercloud.
He walks beside us
and orders our steps.
His grace is ever with us.
Deliverance is ours to have.
Because His mercies are new every morning
there is no need to cling
to the day before.
He gives strength to the weak,
rocks us in His arms
when we are troubled or insecure.
His time is not like ours.
He is never late and always shows up.
His love, grace, mercy and forgiveness
are everlasting.

Ask Jesus Now
If Jesus came to you today, is this what you would say?
"Come on in Lord, you won't be in the way.
I just have a few things to straighten out today.

My lights are off and I don't know what to do
But I'm sorry Lord,
I don't want to bother you.

My friend is doing drugs
But he'll do better
He just needs a few hugs.

My job is insecure
And I don't think I can endure
one more burden.

Come Sunday morning
I'll be at my best.
I'll praise your name
along with the rest.

But today Lord,
I just have so much to do
and I don't want to bother a busy man like you."

He has said in His word that he will be with us always.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."
     Matthew 24:35
