On My Bed
I still my mind, when I can’t sleep, To seek my Lord’s embrace. He whispers with a voice so sweet, “Come, tell me all your care.” With grateful heart I throw it all Before His throne of grace. In answer to my Lover’s call, I give Him every prayer: The lonely hearts that I can […]
Morning Oblation
Each morning, Lord, I come over the hill and see The vista You’ve laid out for the day. Sometimes, it’s bright and sunny. Sometimes, it’s cloudy and overcast, But whatever it is, I am fascinated With the way You paint the landscape. The foggy mornings with a bit of sun, Peeking out between multi-colored clouds, […]

Interesting, Lord… The way You do things Never ceases to amaze me. So many “suddenliesâ€? recently In my life and those around me Teach me again that The waiting is always worth it. I never know when it will end (And it always seems endless), But then You turn my life inside out Or upside […]
For Ryan and Shawna
You are astonishing, Lord! It amazes me to stand here As your hand slowly unfolds To reveal the tiny gift inside. The waiting isn’t over, but It seems as if Your plan is clear. My friends are rejoicing With some reserve as of yet. But life bundled up in a baby boy Just bounces around […]
