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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
