For You

I will hold this for you

It is my honor and joy

It may look strange to those who cannot see

But in your eyes it is beauty

Different, indeed

That is the way you created me

Steadfast and free, this is what I long to be

If only they could take the time

How blessed they would be

I am strong
I am still
I have held on, my grasp was weak
But you did not let go
I tumbled far, below the water into the sea
I rose to the surface and swam to the shore
Trying to dry off
You hold me still
You have renewed my strength
Up in the clouds no more
You love me more than I deserve
Labor me oh Lord, at your will

The road ahead is paved with joy

Do not be afraid, take my hand

I will lead the way

Let the colors of sunset excite you

There is much still yet to come

You cannot see now

One thing at a time my love

Walk with Me, I will help you climb this mountain

The way is steep, it is the only path

I am with you, you are within my grasp

Look ahead, smile with Me

I have many things to show you

Trust and be free

You whisper to me softly,"Come away with Me."

I am your beautiful one

In my heart I want to go

But in my head I get lost

I stop to look around

Questions arise in my thoughts

Trying to drag me down

You continue calling

You are ready to take my hand

I walk towards you

I slip and fall

There You are again, to help me up

I feel safe

My spirit soars to great heights

As I gaze upon your lovely Face

You are my one true love

I am content

Because You are here

Hey brother, why have you let your countenance fall?
Hey sister, do you realize the scars you've placed on us all?

These bruises seem so unfair
The gates have been breached
Why did you invite him in?
He wants to ruin you,
He wants your life

Have we forgotten the price that has been paid?
The price so we could be free
Open your eyes, take a look around
Open your ears, try to listen to the sounds

Oh Lord please, wake us up from these dreams
We must remember we have been set free
Must I pretend to be blind?
I don't think that's why He has opened my eyes...

So please remember, we are in this together
Don't drag us down..
Where are your swords? Please pick them up now
We need forgiveness, please take a bow

My Bleeding Heart (a poem about grief) 6-17-10

Help! I'm losing my grip
It's becoming harder and harder to hold on
I've been trying...
Holding as tight as I can

Thru fire and wind, I was able to dodge
The ice is here now, I'm starting to slip
Falling faster and faster
I'm still holding on

I have one finger on my Rock
My grasp is weak
I am scared, I don't understand
This fire in my heart that destroys your plans

I am bleeding, please make it stop
These scars are so ugly
My strength has been drained

Another blow to the head
Ouch, what is next?
It is cold and foggy

I am crying out
Please hear me

I am hanging on as tight as I can
I need healing, please help me land
I am trusting you.

Count it all Joy

Another day passes
I get a sweet taste
I am hungry for more
Nothing else compares
Only You can satisfy my thristy soul
"Feed Me", I humbly ask
I listen for the order
It's never an easy task
With each mission accomplished
I get to collect one more
I long to bring you glory
My vision is getting clearer
My soul is feeling closer
You gave up your life for me
I could never repay you
Take mine please, I am yours
Jesus, my true love
