A weekends afternoon
In humidity’s wall
Just to sit and rest
In Your arms to fall
Honesty be spoken
The heart of what I feel
Words flow in a quiet prayer
That our God is real
Comfort in consuming
Now without a care
Being of together
Rest of binding share
Tranquil is the moment
Reflection comes in waves
Practicing of trust
Of that which our soul craves
Lift up the window
Breeze to flow through
Fresh air of breathing
Turn of the view
Open the door
Of neighbor to greet
Be God’s beloved
A new soul to meet
Turning of page
Of scripture to know
Through soul of Spirit
His wisdom to show
Let go of control
With faith to enhance
Step out of the box
Won’t you give God a chance?
Stream flows in the valley
Way of human be
Drawing to the source
Law of gravity
Higher of the mountains
Heavens way be found
View of wisdom seeing
Spirits voice profound
Ascension of the higher
Human and divine
Jesus of the binding
Vision here we find
When the two of meeting
Treasure we embrace
Joy within the joining
Waterfall of grace
Wisdom of gifting
Flows through the Word
“We receive what we offer”
Contemplation be stirred
Conversation begun
Of intimate prayer
Love of our God
Is the word that He shares
Gifts of surrender
When forgiveness is blessed
We are washed clean
When our sins are confessed
Drops of our gifting
From this humble plan
Showered in grace
Return as ocean
Enter day of beauty
Way to contemplate
Your gifts here bestowed
May soul resonate
Breathe your breath of presence
Draw it deep and clear
Wherever foot may lead
Know your dwelling here
Seek the love you offer
Abundant showered light
Cherishing your mercy
Flame of joy ignite
Let us be your beauty
Child of the way
Bringing you to share
Heaven here this day
Overwhelmed this morning
As fear comes raining down
Holding up umbrella
But worries all surround
Losing of the battle
Don’t know what to do
Thinking worst will happen
A turn now into You
Fold up the umbrella
Give the fear a name
Welcomed unto You
My Savior to proclaim
Flow into the ocean
Stream now of my fears
Consumed in only love
Way ahead is clear
In worldly space
It is clear
We occupy
A two foot square
With egos view
In shadows fear
A lonely place
One of despair
Of inner light
A drawing here
A needy heart
Of offered prayer
Through open door
The Lord appears
Abundant love
Shines everywhere
In our God’s space
Beyond compare
We occupy
Our heavens share
It seems overnight
A change in the scene
Spring has matured
In fullness of green
Gone are the blossoms
That sang in the air
Echoes of joy
In heart remain there
Into the season
Of plantings of birth
One of the living
The fruit of the earth
So with our being
Of Easters joy shown
Into the sharing
Of our Lord love known
Oh one of restless soul
Come and rest in me
Fall into embrace
Stilling soul to be
Let me bear your burden
Freedom to let go
Dwell in peace beloved
My love here to know
One of Spirit breathing
Filling to the deep
Exhaling all fear
Know you’re in my keep
I will not desert you
Always by my side
Trust be reassured
Hope in me, reside
I have a prayer today
A whisper from within
That you will hear it too
With hope that you’ll join in
To still the soul with pause
To let Gods voice be heard
Silence of the sunrise
Song of calling bird
Awaken soul’s desire
In waves of flowing grace
Turning of above
In blue sky’s empty space
Marvel of the stars
As diamonds light appears
One that’s sent to us
From a million years
Joy in recognition
One that Spirits sends
A facet of your light
Through word of a dear friend
Awareness of the love
One of many ways
That God is touching us
Rejoice in it today
