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. The deeply blue-gray clouds outlined With golden filaments of light […]

Feel the Season Changing
I can feel the season changing. Seems God’s always rearranging, And I wonder what new strange thing He is doing in my life. As I look towards tomorrow, I am hoping I that I will grow Moving forward as I follow Leaving worrying and strife. I have learned so much the hard way When I […]

Out With The Old Stuff
You confuse me. Some days you act so belligerent and angry. Then before I realize what’s happening, You treat me with civility and courtesy. It leaves my head spinning and My insides churning because I never know what to expect. I don’t understand you at all. I don’t think I ever will, if the […]

Another Lesson!
For all the silly things I do in this life— Things that make me feel foolish or stupid— You offer Your graceful arms Like a mom to a small child. You comfort me. You remind me of Your eternal perspective and infinite wisdom. If I could just remember to ask You, Maybe I wouldn’t make […]

I pray, O Lord, that I would be Your light of hope for men That all who come could only see Your grace, Your […]

Mercy
Whence cometh Mercy, poured on all she meets, When Judgment stands against her sweet travail. Whence cometh she whose strength is seen as weak, To triumph yet, and through that power prevail. 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 […]
