Whence cometh Mercy, poured on all she meets, When Judgment stands against her sweet travail. Whence cometh she whose strength is seen as weak, To triumph yet, and through that power prevail. For Mercy triumphs over Judgment Each and every time her grace is called; And Mercy triumphs over Judgment For at the feet of […]

untitled
To dream a dream, to hear You speak, To trust Your Holy Spirit in my life; To shape, remake; to burn, to break, While Your word cleanses me with holy fire… Conflict and doubt, within, without Have wrecked my heart and left me waiting still. I can but stand here in Your hand, Trusting You […]
Lion Led
Softly treading steps beside me, In the darkness of my way, Reassure my fearful, anxious Heart that I am not astray. He whose breath still warms and guides me Never lets me walk alone. Even when I’m filled with weakness, Judah’s Lion leads me on. In this darkness, I am learning How to trust implicitly. […]
War
It’s time to take the hammer to the anvil. It’s time to put the metal in to forge. The fires are burning hotter than they’ve ever been, And war’s on the horizon with a surge. Your people, Lord, Your people need Messiah— Who came already saving us from sin. But now the whole world’s closing […]
Holiness
According to the words of Christ, in letters printed red, We cannot call Him, “Lord,â€? unless we do what He has said. So heed His warning, build on rock, and stand strong in the flood, Or choose your own way and you’ll find you’ve built on sand instead. If we will take the narrow road […]
Within Your Love

The turmoil within and without Slips away to a distant place, And a solidness settles me down… Words just aren’t enough to describe You circumambient to me. I feel secure […]
Wasted
I’m here again, Lord, Wasted at your feet, Spent in grief and sorrow, Still clinging… Somehow. I feel like the woman With the issue of blood… Years deep in this insanity Some would call my life. I need you desperately! This healing thing takes forever. Though I reach for you, Though I touch your robe, […]
You Are My Shepherd
You are my Shepherd. As long as I can remember, Through darkness and light, In the shadow of death’s company and Running through bright green pastures, I have sought You, Lord, On my knees and on my face, Standing stiffly against your Spirit or Wrung out with weakness. I feel so bereft sometimes In this […]
The Pen
It’s nice to know that although my words get old, His Word is forever fresh and new Under the influence of the Holy Spirit. That, of course, would be the key point. I may be a writer, and a decent one at that, But it’s crystal clear to me That inspiration comes only from Him. […]
