Courage broke the shackles of fear That once held me captive, afraid That one so Great, would ever notice me However, indeed, He did Courage took off the blindfold And lifted up my eyes To gaze upon the One Who knows all, sees all, loves all Courage held my hand When it saw me weakly…
Show Me, Lord
My heart pounds As I search for the sounds Of your whisper Lord And your mighty sword With your leading hand Guide me through this barren land What’s my life worth, if I don’t know what it’s for? I know for me Jesus, you have more. I’ll listen I’ll wait I’ll pray I’ll…
God Calls
God calls, While I whither in my seat My heart beats fast At the sound of fear blasting, Casting its burdens on me. God calls, While I sit here and think On His calling for me A call to my faith As I fall to my knees. God calls The broken and shamed The beaten…
Roots
Enclosed. Waiting. Staring up into the emptiness reaching for a glimpse of light. Then the speckles filtering in become brighter and brighter. Squinting, stretching your limbs into the fresh clear air. Gazing out at the wide world full of new possibilities. All the time spent waiting, wondering when the new growth would begin. Was giving…
Salut
I’m leaving, I’m going A new seed God’s sowing I’m at peace cause He’s all-knowing Like a river, I’m flowing I’ll miss seeing a familiar face The fast pace The dreams I didn’t chase My happy place I’m not running away Just looking forward to a new day Where it’s hot with the suns ray…

We celebrate the sparks of new life, The butterfly’s flawless wings The bird that sings at glowing light But not the night, The curtains drawn on life before. The caterpillar falling apart, The future work of…
I Will Do A New Thing
The fields are dusty and brown The hills wear their weary winter frown. Travelling along this grey stretch of tarmac My heart reflects the barrenness of this outback. Hazel smudges fleck the grimy landscape, Sunlit sand-swirls in the air take shape. My eyes strain to understand this vision, My heart is lifeless with indecision.…
Harmonies
Notes bounce off the walls humming in a cacophony of noise. Listening with an acute ear the composer chooses two notes to blend, pair, align and connect. Starting off in a major key, their piece flowed. Lead through the mase of chords, shifting through key changes growing and maturing over the length of rests. Through…
A Two-Stranded Cord
With so many marriages falling to pieces, so few of us are turning to Jesus. Many critics cite marriage statistics. But God created it for a purpose, Though many are scared because it can hurt us. The problem is in the interpretation. The worlds watered-down version, a reformulation. Of something so beautiful designed by God,…
