Stray fragments wander through my head Till I can’t get anything cohesive out Longings, yearnings, regrets, sorrows— All the passions of my heart Wound up together in a tangled mess. Even my joys and angers can barely Poke themselves out of the bundle. Lately, the whirlwind pulls in All my hopes and dreams until The […]

When the night comes and the light dims, Heaven’s Bright Son sings my heart hymns. All the stars thrum with His vibrance— Ceaseless heartbeat, cosmic romance.

I lie wakeful, Tossing and turning, Wondering when or if I will sleep again, Till finally I get up and wander out here… I have been soaking my mind with You All night long, Listening to the same song, Hoping to arm myself Against the recesses of darkness That lurk in my heart. I cannot […]

When I shall stand before His throne, That Visage of infinite glory and light, […]

When life is full of hard things, And no one knows what’s next, You always step up to the plate With help we don’t expect. Your kind and generous nature Shows supernatural grace, So once again, we want to pray God shines upon your face. May the Lord bless and keep you, And make His […]

So many words of worship, Lord, So many melodies and harmonies, So many hearts poured out in praise… Yet I somehow want to say more Somehow to sing and to play so much more… Give me utterance beyond understanding. All my words are used up— All my melodies are spent, Till I lie before You […]
