Worldly desires
Of thoughts in my head
I need to be hungry
And need to be fed
Of world of the Spirit
In focus of way
Plant see of desire
In this soul I pray
No treasure of dust
But love, joy and peace
Surrender of self
Let You now increase
One of the Holy
Of soul molding true
Gifts of eternal
Desire of You
Ahead in day before me
A choice of what to wear
Two t-shirts of the choosing
One of faith or fear
Found in this decision
Of reliance true
One puts trust in me
The other faith in You
Faith is a gift you bless
Fear of what to lose
In choices of my day
Which one will I choose?
Let me put on faith
Holding close to You
Reminder through this day
That You will see me through
A thousand waves
Of ripple blue
Shine the light
Rejoice in you
In wind or storm
By day and night
They rise and fall
Within your sight
One body true
Each one unique
With guiding breeze
Each one You seek
They move the way
Each one adored
When time has come
They touch the shore
In the misty mornings rise
I awake to Your surprise
Colors change before my eyes
Prayer of now to exercise
Soul to rest in Your sunrise
Unmasking of the world’s disguise
Lost in You I’m memorized
As losing self is the prize
All creation recognize
Awe of beauty paralyze
Greatness we all realize
Call of peace to harmonize
Nothing here to analyze
Through this gift You catechize
Inner me revitalized
Moving now, evangelized
I turn the page
And Word I see
The Spirit says
It’s meant for me
Pray I pause
And now begin
To take the time
To dwell within
In silence be
Of Spirit heard
The soul to soak
In living Word
Mold this soul
Of softened clay
Transform within
To go Your way
Focus be of things unseen
That I’ve come to know
God abundant blessing
Gifts that He bestows
Let us start with mercy
Forgiveness that is blessed
A perfect man lays down
With our word, confessed
Instilled a perfect joy
That lifts the Spirits fire
Gratefulness of heart
Drives the souls desire
Peace in storms of trials
Calms the daily strife
Focus of perspective
One of eternal life
Love is of the binding
Source of One that flows
Treasures of the seeking
Found through our God we know
Days turn into years
In life’s ups and downs
Joy’s surprises lift
Challenges surround
Here turns into there
People come and go
Darkness fills the night
Bright horizons glow
Million choices made
Turns of different ways
Seeking of the light
Grace is on display
All things are of changing
One thing understood
In my years of living
That our Lord is good
Mornings mind is racing
A thousand things to do
I enter through the door
In time of prayer with You
Long breath of the cleansing
A drifting deep into
Centering of soul
A falling into You
Peace of heaven covers
Light of grace shines through
Acceptance of embrace
Deep in love with You
Drop of offered silence
Time of reflection true
Encounter of divine
Bonding of me and You
Through wisdom of our God
He’s sent souls in our way
That blessed us in the deep
Then they’ve passed away
Souls now in your light
In perfect love of You
Still they reach to us
To share Your message true
In glimpses of Your light
A spark ignites a flame
That calls attentions pause
Loves connection claim
In passing silhouette
Of encounter fond
Remembrance of a voice
Connects us in the bond
In a vision cast
Familiar sound of joy
Fragrance of a scent
A memory we enjoy
All speaks of Your love
In a comforts swell
Faith in which to trust
That all will soon be well
Sing me a song
Oh morning bird
Psalm of the sweet
A feast to be heard
Cast in the light
In echo of wood
Creature and man
Of one neighborhood
Prayer of your being
Gift that you share
Drawing soul to
An offer of prayer
An unspoken song
A psalm of the heart
Through light of connection
Let peace here now start
Psalm of the morning
Let creation now raise
Songs of their being
Our creator to praise
