A gift is offered
A gift is received
Two souls connected
A bonding weaved
A thank you is spoken
For gift of the fond
More is unspoken
In way of beyond
In thought of another
In loves rippled flow
Of kingdom eternal
Of One that we know
Desire to thank you
Our prayer to lift
In stirring of soul
Indeed is Your gift
Sitting outside
Cool autumn morn’
Resting in prayer
Soul be reborn
Eyes closing tight
Being right here
Spirits caress
Flows through the air
Gentle of touch
Breath lead the way
Light of the will
Spirit here pray
Carry me forth
Son in the heart
Soul now to lift
Let us depart
I’m tired of thinking
All thoughts about me
Clean now the house
Oh God, let us be
Mountains of worries
Fears overcome
Let them now go
May Your will be done
Live here this moment
Let Spirit reside
Walking the way
With You by my side
Love be the focus
In beauty of now
Please grant this petition
With gift You endow
Into Your dwelling
Joining as One
Doorway is opened
In the name of the Son
Infinite passion
Through cross, battle won
Soul is washed clean
Gift through Your Son
Priceless connection
A new way begun
One of eternal
To be with the Son
Let us surrender
May His will be done
Building His kingdom
Living in the Son
Gathered at a Starbucks
For a cup of Joe
Time of solitude
Or meet a friend they know
Start a conversation
Share a laugh or two
Relationship of building
Or time resting in you
A prayer said upon them
From outside looking in
That spirit will be shared
A time of love begin
When they leave this dwelling
A better person be
A source of light to share
Sharing love of thee
There’s darkness and light
There’s night and there’s day
There is in between
In shades of gray
There’s world of the seen
And unseen as well
Glimpses of God
In prayer that we dwell
There’s good and bad
In us both reside
Seek darkness or light
Free will to decide
There’s heaven and hell
On earth both we can see
With God or without
Our hope rests in thee
Let gray turn to light
The unseen to birth
My desire to seek
Heaven on earth
I bring to Your altar
A new sacrifice
An offer of sin
Of this ego’s vice
Conviction is made
To path of new way
New wine and new skin
From sin turn away
One of the many
That blocks me from You
I want to draw closer
Desire clean view
Please wash me clean
Can’t do it alone
Through grace of Your love
Let Your light be shone
Take me to the place
Where Your Presence be
One within the sacred
Where the soul can see
Shining holy light
Truth is on display
Waves of comfort flowing
Letting go to pray
Vision of eternal
Now, a speck of dust
Rock of firm foundation
Where soul can place its trust
Tend this broken soul
Carry me away
Mold it to Your image
Return it to Your way
In a valley dark
Spirit feeling down
Burdens of the heavy
Loneliness surrounds
Through a spark inspired
Message that You sent
Shines the blessed light
Word of encouragement
Eyes to heaven lift
Spark ignites the flame
Returning to the One
That my soul proclaims
Spoken from the heart
Grateful this soul be
That my brother dear
Let me back to thee
Tired and broken
Hope beaten down
Body exhausted
Head starts to pound
Now enter the quiet
In Your arms to rest
Oh healing Presence
This soul here now bless
Found in the silence
Compassion and care
Stilling acceptance
Accusations not here
Found in love wrapping
Deep soothing within
Restoring the soul
Let healing begin
No words are needed
Just bathe in the light
Sacred restoring
With Savior unite
