In this moment be
A time that’s set aside
Surrendering my will
Let soul and You reside
One of simple being
No prayer of the forcing
Open window flow
This world of divorcing
Simple petition made
Asking word of grace
Letting go of me
And fall in Your embrace
Take me where You will
Unspoken love received
Soul of healing be
Trust in You believed
A simple desperate soul
Offers up a prayer
Sent unto His Lord
Receives no answer clear
What is he to do?
Should he be dismayed?
Give up all his hope
Or faith now lead the way
What is this way of faith?
Not letting heart go sour
Conforming will to Gods
Not Gods will to ours
Little steps of trust
Seeking of roots deep
Reflecting of the growth
Faith begins to seep
Encounter with Jesus
An encounter of change
One of conversion
Our soul rearrange
Way of the deeper
One of surprise
View of above
Thoughts analyze
Found in His presence
Discovered in Word
Showered in mercy
Through Spirit be heard
Surrounded in love
Surrender our way
Joy in awareness
Beside Him to stay
In the dawning light I see
The Spirit drawing calling me
The speaks throughout eternity
The precious love of God
Rest my soul in solitude
And bind with Spirit be
Acceptance of the love of God
To find my hope in thee
Surrender now my will to thee
And dwell within your love
Gratitude of mercy great
To turn my way above
Soul’s connection to our Lord
Spark Your grace divine
Bringing heaven to this heaven
Your light through servant shine

May God’s peace be with us now
Gift of grace that He endows
Shining to this world somehow
Open window here allow
Through a man of love so pure
By a cross that He endured
God descending to the poor
Opening of heaven’s door
Bridge connected of the way
Offered to us every day
By our side He’ll always stay
Intimate known when we pray
Soul of greater purpose be
Vision of eternity
His light shining clear through me
To lost souls, His hope they’ll see
Joy arising in the heart
New direction here to start
From this ego pride depart
Word of love now to impart

Pain I can’t imagine
A sword that pierces heart
Which Mary did endure
That the cross imparts
Through two thousand years
Still it echoes on
Sharing ’til this day
A view into beyond
In dwelling of eternal
Bound in perfect love
Their love through the Spirit
Echoes here above
Through a mothers passion
A whisper soft and true
In shadow of the cross
Know what he did for you
I come to my Jesus
In eyes closing tight
With a petition
To come Holy light
Shine with Your Presence
In darkness of night
Love of abundance
Oh come Holy Light
Oh welcomed acceptance
The soul here unite
Home of eternal
Of Your Holy Light
Joy overflowing
Clinging so tight
Oh treasure of grace
Here dwell Holy Light
Peace of instilling
Your blessed insight
Will now surrenders
To Your Holy Light
World of returning
Path aligned right
Charged with the shining
Of Your Holy Light

All My
All my fears and worries
All my hopes and plans
May I give them to You
And trust them to Your hands
All my selfish pride
All my guilt and shame
May I confess humbly
And Your forgiveness claim
All my prejudices
All my judgment flee
May I bless acceptance
And share the love of thee
All my deep desires
All my focus be
May I seek Your wisdom
And walk eternally
All my fallen steps
All my promise hollow
May I return to You
And find Your light to follow
Oh my Lord of patience
“All my” drift away
Joy within this moment
In Your love here to stay
View a lake of beauty
Reflection from above
Ripples carry into
A different view there of
One of contemplation
Moment of the now
All else dissipating
Losing me somehow
On the edge of conscience
Dwelling just to be
Surrender is the way
Allowing soul to see
Encounter of Creator
Of a greater place
Consumed within his love
And greatest treasure, grace
Let me awaken
In hour of predawn
In stillness of peace
The Spirit to spawn
Air fresh and cool
With peepers song fading
All worldly concerns
Here now abating
A prayer lifted high
In birth of this day
For souls soon arising
Prepared in the way
Let darkness now go
In the fading night
Spawn Your hope in joy
In the coming light
