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

Victory

In the quiet of the night

My dreams get raided

Flashbacks of the past

Playing out every fear

Consumed by the lies

I open my eyes

It was just a dream.

The truth sets me free

I call out for my King

Once again, He saved me

Jesus, your name is power

Distractions, distractions... 11-15-09

My heart aches to be intimate
To see you, to feel your warmth
Delight in my cup on a cold day

Stuck in a webb again..
You remind me the truth,
I am able to break free
My mind is trapped in captivity

O Lord please give me strength
Wisdom in bulk, knowledge to breath

Theives come again, I am not prepared
They win once more
Forgive me my King, train me to guard

Flush these pretentious thoughts
Bring me your sword
My heart is cumbersome

Come dry my tears
Release me, my God
From all of these fears

Deliverance

You open my eyes
You heal my wounds

I was hidden in the darkness
You found me with your light
My soul cried out, I need you
You were always there

You waited for me,
Now I wait on you
Why can't I see me, the way you see?
Stream would turn into river

I give you all my fears and ask
You would help me be brave,
Whisper reassurance in my ear

Do not let me forget, the gift you have already gave.
Jesus, what else do I need?
You sustain my every need
In You alone I am full
Thank You!

1st Attack

The Fire inside me
O how it burns
A breath of fresh air
My veins are pumping
They reach a boiling point
I am clean again
O the power of Love
He overcomes all
Burning brightly
Lord of all lords
King of all kings
Burn brightly inside of me
