In Praise of Comedy

The art of comedy's a sacred thing,
as fresh and precious in its gift of bliss
as when a worshipped one's initial kiss
transports us first. Like Fragonard, we swing
to Lena Horne's delightful rites of spring
on wings of wonder. No analysis 
can pull apart a pleasure pure as this. 
We humans laugh as nightingales might sing.
We're taught to

A Poem of Praise

Praise Jesus Christ!
Who died on the Cross;
Without Thy great Sacrifice 
We would all be lost.

From birth until death
You lived on this earth; 
Enduring our suffering 
To prove Love's worth 

Though the sinners were many,
And the darkness was great;
You died to forgive us,
To open Heaven's Gates.

Not three days passed
And You continued Your Plan.
Freed the souls of

It’s love that wipes away my tears
Shadow of the rain shower clears
And I’m warmed by the gentle night
He bids my soul peace to delight

It’s faith that reminds of His grace
With Him, there’s nothing I can’t face
Surprised by One who can unite
He bids my soul peace to delight

It’s hope that sings a song of life
And I

Joy of a Friend

Joy of the Lord is my strength
Humble in His sight I am weak
Following the Christ in me
Worshipping on my knees

Falling down on my face
Walking in truth and grace
Not a religious trick but
It’s about the relationship

In the valley He walks beside me
He sits at the table with me
In the presence of my enemies
For thou art with

Pens of Praise

The factories no longer exhale fumes but fillers
Clanging steel is traded for selfie stick.
Whip is gone but the gaze remains.
Wage is still dingy and stale.
Accepted without questions.

When the labour was visible, we called it brutal.
Children with soot in lungs, blistered hands,
bodies bent before they grew.
Now the soot is scrubbed, hands are clean
but the bending of

Premium MemberPraise

I’ve had to learn to give thanks
For all the blessings in life.
For the good health of my kids
And for the love of my wife.
I’ve had to learn to give thanks
For His mysterious ways.
And every morning I wake
And in my heart I give praise.

It’s quite a lesson to learn
And it goes on every day.
So often I

Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part in dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Write my heart in light, softly glowing
So the winds of summer keep flowing
Rising with the dawn, blessings growing
So the song of

Dear God,

You know, when I fear – when I hurt, when I’m in tears
You know the me I used to be, the me that you’ve changed entirely
You know the things I want to say, when the grief clears
You know, when I pray – all the words I just can’t say.

And, still – despite all the

Not Mine

The olive garden to prepare.
With Zebedee’s sons and Peter

He prayed for the cup to pass,
Your will be done
Not mine.

Take this cup from me?
Yet not my will, but yours be done. 

Point of death, the hour is here. 
Fast asleep under the trees. 

Vision of Isaac being prepared, 
On his knees to be spared. 

Sorrow in

Premium MemberWhat Breaks My Heart


I love you – even when the smile is shy
I love you, even when I can’t say why
I  love you, when my tears just won’t dry
I love you, with a love I can’t deny

What breaks my heart completely, dear
Are the tears that sting with dark fear
The mourning that I so dread to hear
The feelings

Come What May...

When tears don’t say – because you pray
	It will be okay, when you see the light of day
		Time will reveal, the story of His will
	Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still
I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face

Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars
Glimpses of

Stand Firm

I sing to the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.
I pray for the children of God.
Stand firm, Stand firm.

When the enemy comes to you.
When you face the accuser.
You'll know what to do.
Stand on the truth in love.

We have the choice every day.
Which character to put on?
If you listen to what some may say,
You might be

Premium MemberThroughout All Time


dew colors the dawn in halos,
revealing the angel’s song
who plays on and on and on –
reverberating across the horizon,
stilling the murmurs of morn’
singing to the light, a soft chorus
aching to be stolen by the heart
who knows, on angel’s wings
come gentling laughter so sweet
ever after will not be complete,
without this song who breathes…

glory into the skies,
