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.

Psalm 23… Again
My Shepherd sweet Meets all my need, In pastures green, By quiet stream… Always. He heals my soul, Keeps my path whole, All for the sake Of His great name… Always. Though death draw near, I will not fear, For You’re my guide, Right by my side… Always. Your staff and rod Give strength, O […]
Morning Sky
Fingers of the morning sun pierce the clouds, Like Your hand extended over the landscape, Hovering above us all as sweet reminder of Your goodness, Lord… Your mercy, Lord… Your continual grace that allows us to Begin each new day with Your breath of life.

For Mercy triumphs over Judgment Each and every time her grace is called; And Mercy triumphs over Judgment For at the feet 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 […]
Holiness
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 […]
