Winter sweeps my soulFreezing me inside with all the what-ifs,Might-have-beens, and should-haves.The icy wind of regret would knock me off my feetIf I did not firmly grasp Your hand, Father God, offeringThe warmth of Your love, mercy, and forgiveness.

Orion
Hello, Orion, brightly shining in the winter night. As time moves on, your stars aligning give my heart delight. I still declare when seeing you that there is always hope, For you’re prepared, you’ve set your view with all encompassed scope. The hunter’s bow is ever ready to supply the food you need.

Holy Is The LORD Almighty

With gentle and deceptive words, They twist the real truths you have heard, And all the while you listen, too, Their falsehoods will imprison you. But follow Jesus, hear […]
