Walkers and pickers
Of countrysides, fair.
Sweet briar; cherry blossom.
Trailing arbutus.
Follow. Whilst love-teared, too wide
Struggle most that look to hide.
Tender and nervous.
As rich, thick-scented
Whose rarefied air.
For what burgeons, peculiar
To poetic thought.
Sacred in soul's kindred sense
Breath it in as twere incense.
As devoutness ought.

Devotion, godly victorious, participates in earnest discipleship
Submitting to the Scriptures’ divine instruction
Enjoying the Saviour’s compassion in Great Commission-fulfillment.
Victorious devoutness to the Lord ministers through His power
Labouring in His vineyard with blessings' diligence
While following the Master’s steps, abiding in His fellowship.
Commitment to Christ, triumphantly* at work, serves whatever the cost
Offering to God wholeheartedly midst sacrifice-willingness
Praising worshipfully, assured of eternal life’s glory.
*Psalm 106:47 …O LORD our God, … gather us… to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

We lift You, Lord, in our worship* with our joyful praises
Which You surely deserve along what Your Deity enforces
Keep us jubilantly awed by Your amazing, miraculous graces
While singing to You thru our hymn-spirited voices
And rejoicing in Your salvation-assurance that eternally blesses.
We lift You, Lord, in our worship with our loving devoutness
Which You definitely require by Your compassion’s steadfastness
Keep us divinely fascinated with Your marvelous kindness
While glorifying You in our pardon-sealed faithfulness
And delighting in Your presence-goodness of favor’s bountifulness.
*John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Brilliant nightfall views
Barbs of darkening hues
Specter of sunlight gems
Vespers obscuring into godsends
Elegant devoutness
In worshipping grandness
Without your friendship I have gone astray
I'm lost in love without your heart to show the way
Roaming around I watched adulation turn dire
Looking for you brings wayward desire
Searching all day forfeiting devoutness
You are absent and I find fondness
I missed you at a turn and found devotion
Adrift from you and I noticed emotion
I skipped my chances and saw a yearning
Took the long road and witnessed passion burning
Scanning the sky I detected a crush
Hidden from you I saw tenderness blush
Invisible to you I gazed at delight
Irretrievable affection is out of sight
I glimpsed at fidelity while it was at sea
Disappeared respect is absent in me
Without your friendship I have gone astray
I'm lost in love without your heart to show the way
Jesus Christ in the wilderness
All alone as the sun rose red
Fighting His battle of humanness
Jesus Christ in the wilderness
To save man~ Christ's devoutness
Although the bloody cross His dread
Jesus Christ in the wilderness
All alone as the sun rose red
