Your Love

Posted on by Cara

Your deep, abiding love holds me close, Even when I bit and claw, Nip and scratch at Your gentle hands. Like bird with broken wing, I have forgotten how to fly, O Lord, But You whisper Your grace, Let Your mercy wash over my soul, Cleanse me by Your Word, Heal me by Your Spirit, […]

Intercession

Posted on by Cara

Sometimes it’s not enough to say… The words just run across the page. Their meaning seems to fall far short No matter what I try… O Lord! And I cannot, can NOT convey The burden of my heart that weighs, So I can only groan in prayer, Casting on You every care.

Winter Warmth

Winter sweeps my soulFreezing me inside with all the what-ifs,Might-have-beens, and should-haves.The icy wind of regret would knock me off my feetIf I did not firmly grasp Your hand, Father God, offeringThe warmth of Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.

The Miracle of Flight

Posted on by Cara

The faith of a newly-emerged butterfly cannot be denied As it stretches forth its wings and trusts to flight Somehow knowing there is strength once they have dried. Though it never flew before, it knows it’s made to soar, So up… up… up… it goes without a second thought Just trusting its inherent natural form. […]

Refusing To Let Go

Posted on by Cara

Though waves wash over me, Though fire surround me, Though my enemies attack me from every side, My eyes, O Lord, stay fixed on You. There is no other way. There is no other how. There is only You, only You, only You. Though I weep uncontrollably in my failure to understand, Something in me […]

Lullaby

Posted on by Cara

In the violet sky with all its royal hues covering earth below, I see wispy cloud like invisible wings spread across my vision, Enfolding all creation in unseen comfort As distant starlight begins peeping through fading sunlight In the oncoming rush of night… Beautiful, splendid brilliance of Your universe unfurled before my eyes. You hold […]
