Pressing in to You I find A peace I can’t explain. Although I’ll never understand, Your rest surrounds me With a sense of absolute trust. 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 […]
Giving Up The Sin Within
I’ve been a quiet angry mass Of seething feelings, shattered glass, And though I seemed a peaceful soul Within me was a great big hole Where at some point in my dismay, I tried to hide myself away. But it has been a brutal bout— A battle huge within, without. For though I tried to […]

To Reach You (12/14/10)
… I feel as if I have been to court and You are the witness, judge, and jury Determining my guilt without any chance at all For me to defend myself. And why should I have to defend myself anyway? Humanity is as humanity does. I strive to reach a goal like everyone else. I […]

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 […]
