A Father's prayer for his sonMy son lies teetering
On the edge of the abyss
And tears rivulet.
God, I beg you, please.
End this suffering, I beg,
I die as he breathes.
I love him, dammit,
But if he suffers for me,
I'm a poor father.
So decide. Heal him
Or quiet his pain. Mercy,
I beg of you, God.
Was not once enough?
I yield. Take my dreams,...

At times in life
I’ve allowed some obstacle to become a barricade,
and God let me know I wasn’t making the grade.
Straightway, that called for a critique of my belief,
prayer brought God’s solution for lasting relief.

I Left No Trace, In Empty SpaceThree days ago, I was buried on
the ground as it seems!
A cascade of issues as the days go by.
The unrelenting sorrows and pain---
Weak, broken, desolation it brings!
I seized the world with open hands,
optimism, smile, love as much as could.
Full of hope, peace and wisdom.
Still joy would vanish out of sight.
I left no trace in...

What Hovers in the Air Tonight
Tonight, no visions dance before thine eyes
Tonight, dark clouds obscure the starlit sky
Tonight, the gentle breeze hath packed it in
Tonight, a wall of heat assaults the skin

CallingCalling
To the I Am
Alone and on my knees
In a valley filled with death's air
His gift: Freedom in an endless expanse
My prison's narrow walls collapsed
I walked in green meadows
Seeing the sun
Calling
Inspired by a prayer from the beautiful "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl....

Lost Son
Sintered from the dust of dying stars
This vessel of mine was,
By hands that reached down
Through the veil above,
And together with one generous breath
Bestowed upon it
This uncanny spark—this soul—
That man so very hubristically
Dared to name so.
From the tenderest of age,
I felt a magnetic pull—
A silent tug upon my heart,
And upon that uncanny spark—
To cede way to...

Perennial winnerI am a perennial winner
Cause I refuse to be a loser
I am programmed for victory
And I vehemently refuse to walk by sight
Nor by what my circumstances look like
For what is seen is temporary
I refuse to allow my situation
To dictate the direction of my prayer or confession
For I can not...

Will You Let Me Lyrics By Eileen ManassianPlace my head upon your shoulder
Wrap me in Your warm embrace
Chase away these premonitions
Grant me, Jesus, saving grace
Will you let me feel your presence?
Bring the peace of heaven near
I am fainting from my sorrows
Whisper to my heart, "You're dear!"
Will you cradle me so gently?
Sooth my tempset batterd soul
Hush those inner howling voices
Love me, heal...

Prayers Like IncenseMy prayers rise before God like sweet incense.
Before him all my facades fall away.
I am left standing without a pretense
And I am left with not a word to say.
His glory once again fills his temple
And all the things of this world become dim.
Before his great holiness I tremble
And all I can see are visions of...

Your Journey To 100
On your journey to one hundred, I say,
Try laughing, learning, and loving each day.
You’ll meet many travelers along the way.
Share memories with others, take time to pray.
Enjoy a sunset, eat a piece of pie.
Take in life’s beauty and quit asking why.
Take a long walk as often as you can.
Talk with a loved one, walking hand...

A Prayer for Our Church Family
In Hope and Faith....we pray this day
Praying today for mothers, fathers strong,
For godly parents raising children throng
May families within our walls
Be shielded from the daily trials and thralls.
We lift up our pastor in prayer,
Asking God to guard his heart with care
To walk closely in the Spirit’s gentle light,
Be encouraged, steadfast in the fight.
For his wife,...

The Colorful World of God's CreationO God, what can I say about your Creation?
I'm mesmerized and dazzled on nature's beauty,
As I know, everything comes on You, as You are the Most High God.
From the blue skies, mountains, seas, animals and mankind
Is all You created in Your image
Like a melody and key to Your Path,
And my love is supplicated to You...

A Just in Case PrayerThere is no pace anymore
time is picking up speed
one day a mustard seed-the next a sky tree
Nest generations offering songs to the breeze
space time is bending around rib of infinity.
A cluster of red heifers are being prepared
elements for the third temple are mixed
the loom of life weaving the second coming
something callosal is happening
some of it...
