What comes to pass
Within the scene
What is our prayer
Of in between
A day of death
Of sorrow see
Tomorrows hope
Of rising be
Of inner tomb
Time to reflect
To take a breath
Our soul affect
A prayer of rest
To contemplate
The mysteries
Of God so great
A preparation
In room of the upper
A great celebration
Of the Lords, last supper
As friends, they did gather
Little did they know
The moment historic
The way Lord would show
Did souls realize?
As they drank it up
Partaking in bread
The impact of the cup
Did they find the value?
A gift to reveal
His sacrifice
Is the price of this meal?
Did they take for granted?
This blessed grace true
The ripple beyond
Same for me and you
As we come to Easter
Of Passion created
Amazing events
That God orchestrated
A donkey, some oil
A cup that was shared
A celebration
A meal was prepared
Peters’ denial
As Judas departs
Guilty of sin
We all play a part
A prayer in the garden
Submission of will
Through pain of scourging
He endured still
A death on a cross
Event so surprising
Through passion of Jesus
Joy in the rising
Help us to remember
In joy and our strife
In will of our choosing
He orchestrates our life
We come face to face
With our Jesus to be
Word that is spoken
How blessed are we
Light of abundance
Of radiant glow
Being of dwelling
Let Spirit here flow
How precious this treasure
Of humility
Our divine Creator
Of intimacy
Let us hold close
In souls warm embrace
Let us go forth to be
A blessing of grace
Create a little window
To let my light shine through
Spirit of the flowing
Some ideas for you
Pause within the sunshine
To let it warm your face
Soaking to the soul
One of inner space
Song of the soul singing
Flowing out of praise
Gratitude of being
Psalm of Spirit raise
Act of humble kindness
One to not repay
Soul of the encounter
Goodness send their way
Word within of dwelling
Spark of deep insight
Savoring the meaning
Soul of flame, ignite
Softly, so slowly
Subsiding into
Solitudes sweetness
Silence in You
Peacefulness pouring
Pure love so true
Powerful Presence
Praying in You
Angels accepting
Arising anew
Adrift in above
Abiding in You
Lulling light lifting
Luscious of hue
Letting in love
Longing in You
Source of life within
The eternal waits
Dwell waters of the soul
Take stock of its fate
Neglected or ignored
No Spirit flowing through
Dried up and stagnating
Pray focus now anew
Oh Savior, living spring
Cleansing of our sin
Gift through Spirit flow
New way here begin
Prayer of feeding stream
Source of grace to seep
Constant source of light
Flow into the deep
Faith to still the surface
Tranquil water be
Jesus of the calming
Flow to eternity
A living eulogy
Of writing, here this day
If you are a parent
You scribe it anyway
Things you teach your children
Priorities instill
Way of life’s importance
Goals they will fulfill
People of surrounding
Of ones which they will bond
With character creating
Souls of which they’re fond
Did they treasure kindness
Or generosity
Show a love so pure
Self-sacrifice to be
A fallen broken soul
When they lost their way
Their story of faith written
Answered when we pray
Entrance to the door
Key of eternity
Will they trust our God
Let His love flow through me
Senses are flowing
Inputs everywhere
World to us is calling
Sifting through sins snare
Let us claim a moment
Withdrawing now to prayer
Answering the question
What do I do hold dear?
Jesus is our treasure
Heaven is found here
Spirit’s word of guiding
Seek his wisdom clear
Setting of foundation
Path of setting clear
From inner light of shining
Of His way let us share
How can a simple human
Begin to understand
Things we all desire
In our heart to land
To grasp the Spirits breath
Beam of light embrace
To hold the gift of love
Cling to offered grace
Not of our doing be
But only to believe
Through the gift of prayer
Word to us receive
We are more than mortal
With gift of the divine
Through exercise of soul
Attainable we find
