Truths

Engrain in me Your truth
The wisdom that you share
Bind to Word consumed
May view be not impaired

That forever is Your love
For that is who You are
No matter where I travel
You are not afar

You dwell within my Spirit
Seal upon my soul
That my dwelling be
In you, be my goal

Your forgiveness is eternal
A price paid by Your son
Forgiveness blessed completely
Whatever I have done

That this world is fallen
My home is found in You
Challenges will come
And You will see me through

We human are all broken
Judgment separates the one
Binding through Gods love
Is how the battles won

Riches for the tempting
Distractions of the dust
Security is only found
In the One I trust

Endurance is a key
Committed to the goal
In dying of the me
Life shines in the soul

The answer’s found in You
Heaven shared in love
Your light eternal shines
Focus on above

Trust Me

A time of rest designed
Body now reclines
End of day in closing
Restoring tired mind

Falling now asleep
Into dark of night
In hands of Savoir keep
My soul rest in His sight

Within the deep of mind
Stir worries of the day
Arising to the surface
Rest now goes astray

Tossing and the turning
Fear now overcomes
Drowning in the swirl
Pounding as a drum

Arising drifts a thought
A message from the deep
Wisdom from our Lord
Knowledge I must keep

“Trust Me” are His words
I am in control
Others now subside
Heart finds its console

Words by which to live
Greater is the view
Imbed them right behind
The knowledge, I love You

Swallows Prayer

Prayer flows with the swallows
Uplifting flight of grace
Free from earths devices
Soul drifts beyond this place

Connecting to above
To souls in love with You
Entwined in movement blessed
To height beyond our view

Song notes we’re not constrained
To ways we only know
Threads of light are spun
Through Spirit grace will show

Let prayer be lifted high
Past what we expect
Will released in flight
That our great God perfects

View

Looking out through our eyes
Each a different view
Perspective seen through our wounds
Vision each askew

One that comes with mirrors
For them all to see
The beauty that I am
What will they think of me?

Another doom and gloom
Darkness blocks the light
The worst is yet to come
Another day to fight

Judgment fills the view
People into bins
Separate the best
The only one I’m in

Another of a child
Wonder, awe, anew
Trusting in the Father
Joy accepting You

 

Knowledge of Way

Berries of green, fruit of the blossom
One day your beauty will shine
Through seasons of time from bitter to sweet
Plan of the blessed divine

In depths of the winter when leaves are long gone
Fruit dress of red will remain
Food for the starved in barren of cold
Nourishment sweet it contains

If only you knew through heat and through storm
Your purpose is part of the plan
Light shines the truth so bask in the glow
Enduring the best that one can

So cling to the branch and rest without fear
Rejoicing in gift of this day
Gift cheer to your friends, dwelling within
Bless them in this knowledge of way

Of The Breeze

Perhaps I do not know
Which things are best for me
The rushing of my duties
The things that I must see

Priority of way
The driving of my time
Cause me to cast aside
The beauty of sublime

Nourishment of soul
Found in a moment’s pause
A glimpse of precious light
Voice to which heart draws

So let me be attentive
Direction of the breeze
Let gift not pass me by
An opportunity to seize

Commitment let me make
To keeper of my soul
Willingness of being
To give to You control
 

In Light of You

Garden that I’m tending
An exercise of heart
Priorities I’m setting
This day right from the start

Meetings need arranging
Money, duties, groceries
Home that needs some fixing
Dealing with anxieties

Let me stop the swirl
You bless me a free will
Let me give to You
My choice in moment still

First meeting of this day
With my God of all
Amazing that you’d be
Hoping for my call

Let my soul be fed
With Spirit and by Word
Heart be moved by grace
In silence You’ll be heard

Through daily let me practice
The tending of my soul
Patient, humble, loving
And You to make it whole

Gone Fishing

Waking up before the dawn
Of journey to catch fish
Walking down the rocky path
With rod, a hook and wish

Arriving to the river
With light upon the flow
Silence in the rising
A gentle Spirit blows

Anticipating trophies
Of treasures that I’d catch
Our Lord had different plans
Of blessings to unlatch

Waiting in the stillness
The heart reflects in light
The beauty of creation
Soaks in a new insight

The peace of our connection
Turns thoughts to ways above
A snapshot of the moment
Touches soul in love

No fish at all were hooked that day
A bigger catch you had for me
A touching of Your grace
Etched within my memory

So let me go out fishing
In awareness of Your light
Catching glimpses in my soul
Wisdom shared through Your insight
