Another Lesson!
For all the silly things I do in this life— Things that make me feel foolish or stupid— You offer Your graceful arms Like a mom to a small child. You comfort me. You remind me of Your eternal perspective and infinite wisdom. If I could just remember to ask You, Maybe I wouldn’t make […]

Psalm
The splendor of Your holiness Is like a newborn star, Whose brilliance light the universe, Whose beauty shines so far. The glory man cannot embrace Displays Your greatness, hides Your face. I pray, O Lord, that I would be Your light of hope for men That all who come could only see Your grace, Your […]

Prayer
O God, who walks beside me, O LORD, who holds me up, Please, come now, lead and guide me. Please, fill my empty cup. I’m weak and I am lonely In darkness and in doubt, But You, the One and Only, Bring light to lead me out. Dear Father, take this off’ring— My sacrifice of […]

Mercy
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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Source (8/11/10)
The fresh fire of Your presence Ever tries me, and purifies me. The warm wind of Your Spirit Comforts sorrow, restores tomorrow. The sweet scent of Your mercy Never ceases, ever increases. _____________________ Lord, You are my source. You lift me up. You let me sing. Lord, You are my life. You are my Christ. […]

Because (7/15/2010)
I lay before God—awed, amazed, abashed at who He is. This vast, uncreated being fills the expanse of the universes Yet reaches down in compassion to come dwell within me— Drawing me, teaching me, leading me in paths of righteousness, Because He says, “…I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked. I only […]

If I Could Write
If I could write, I’d tell of all I know, Which isn’t much, for all I have to show. This sense of self inside of me, This thing that drives me to be free, Is just a formless mass of feelings, though… I try to write the deeper things inside. Though most of me prefers […]
