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 […]

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.
