To tread the heav'nly ground
(Blackout of Hymn 105 by Isaac Watts)
stripped bare
shivering
my faultlines exposed
I stand before Him
no one to defend me
my record speaks for itself
shame, far too mild a word
I stand before Him
knocking at His door, poor in deeds
asking for another year of life
not because I deserve it
but because He is gracious
merciful, patient, long-suffering
abundant in kindness and truth
His light, falls gently
Erasing the melancholy
The summer’s grief
Restless praises, stirred
By the music of a grace
Beyond the heavens,
Where love can amaze….
Sweet notes of praise,
On lips of leaf and life
When starlight trembles
Keeping away this strife…
Autumn’s brisk light
Falls across the night
Where melancholy
Whispers to a moon so bright,
Streams of tear like dewdrops
Rest on the soul who knows
Whatever comes in this life
God above will exalt…
Every heart who remembers
He is One who knows me best
And, with Him, life is forever blessed!
I've been covered by the blanket of life
Circumstances have been entry level
This world been engaging intimate lore and strife
Keep telling myself and others gonna get better
I'm leaving all the cares and woes
to my Almighty Father in HEAVEN
woe is me
this my prayer just for a blanket covering
still and again
Always AMEN

I want The Rock
Turn a phrase you say
But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say No!
No, no ,no
Tell me not pray
Well all I got to say to you when you tell me not to pray, I say No!
No, no, no
So if you ask me why I like the Truth, the Life, the Way
There is only one thing I can say to you:
I want The Rock
There’s a reason that
I get from nothing else and there is Someone else in the world that makes it so
So, so, so:
Turn God’s power up
I’ve waited for so long so I could quote my favorite verse, contextual, know
Know, know, know
When I read It I feel the Spirit shooting through me
And there’s nothing more God can do:
I want The Rock
Beyond the boundaries of life and death,
My friend forever, you have positioned yourself
In the sublime horizon of my heart.
Your majestic shrine glows with a light,
With what a profound hope and immense delight,
I extend my arms to the powerful expanse.
The quiet night has embraced and draped
Your feet with her sprawling dark hair,
How enchanting is the song the universe is immersed in!
Emanating from the strings of your veena,
The world becomes one with the tune of your music,
I feel a tinge of melancholy emitted by the sadness of the melody.
Wind, please lift this life aloft,
like a leaf that may gently waft
on a long journey in the sun,
sailing, twirling, having fun -
before it lands, light and soft.
Sky, don't let clouds obscure
this soul like seed with kernel pure
Give it a hundred years.
Drop a modicum of tears,
so it may grow safe and secure.
Wind and sky you must concede
a fairy godmother has her needs,
and I always get my way,
So, here's what I want today:
spinach salad with sunflower seeds.
Wind, please lift this life aloft,
like a leaf that may gently waft
on a long journey in the sun,
sailing, twirling, having fun -
before it lands, light and soft.
With Christ, the 'Answer Scales'
Of life are very imbalanced. He
Says 'Yes' far more than 'No'.
So many "Yeses' are recorded,
But so few 'No's'; What gives?
All the'Yeses' did not come right away.
But the bottom line was usually 'Yes'.
For example,
There are multiple 'Yeses',
But allow me to give you four.
'We need more wine'.
He said, 'Yes'.
'Please heal me of my leprosy?'
He said, 'Yes'.
'May I come walking to you on the water?'
He said, 'Yes'.
'Please heal me of my blood disease'.
He said, 'Yes'.
And oh my friend, what countless times
Christ has said, 'Yes' to you and me.
On the edge of a moment,
An unspoken prayer
Hesitant, a heart beats,
A feeling blessed, unaware
Rhythms of joy, trembling
As that first kiss
Tests the naked dreams,
A whisper of sweet bliss
Rising beyond starlight
As graceful as the sea
Restoring sparkles of life
A feeling, alive… free
Breathing images, stories
As painful as love remains
Aching beneath the touch
A beauty the shadow blames
Wonders, breaking through
As light inside, on our heals
Inviting as morning’s dew
A story no skeptic conceals
“Pain”
I’ve had enough.
I’ve seen enough.
My bucket is full.
Little lost boys.
Little girls raped.
The guns never stop.
Mothers grieve.
Fathers bury.
Neighbors’ morn.
We write of it.
We sing of it.
We pray it ends.
Nations at war.
Lives destroyed.
Destruction surrounds.
Are we insane?
The pain it brings,
Over and over,
Again and again.
In midnight dreams,
On sweat-drenched sheets,
No joy is found,
As life struggles on.
Is this the way
It's supposed to be,
No smiling faces
On living room walls?
Is this the way it ends?
Are we insane?
I don’t understand.

l
we are a bundle of contradictions
on one hand bliss magnetism pervades form
on the other, earth life continues to test
love alone’s real but how to conform
the message of the master is simple
all conflicts must be healed by love alone
yet when called upon to fight injustice
principles discarded, we’re on our own
our back against the wall, where’s the option
save doing what it takes to do what’s right
for to lie down and pretend we are dead
is surely a betrayal of God’s light
we wish not to be drawn into battle
so we turn to God to steer our life’s course
since our master’s counsel must be obeyed
and conflict resolved without use of force
Let me run to You, O Lord, in times of trouble
Hold me securely in Your loving arms
For You are my shelter against those who hate me
Remind me that You are stronger than my enemies.
Keep me from harm, help me to trust in You alone
I lift up my cries to You in the night, O God
When fear surrounds me, I will call upon Your Name
Guard me from terrors, and let them not consume me.
May Your angels always guide me in Your ways
Let me desire to follow You all the days of my life
I will remember Your faithfulness to me, O Lord
Your promises are light and life to my soul.
faith is
not considering
a coincidence
Wars and Rumours
“Wars, wars,
And rumours of Wars”,
Exactly what Jesus said.
“In the world today you will have tribulation,”
Exactly what Jesus said.
Close to the beginning
In the very first family
Cain killed Abel his brother
And so it has been ever since.
Despite God’s command
Love your neighbour as yourself,
On our own, God’s creatures
Cannot do that at all.
But through Jesus Christ,
Through his life and his death
Through his rising again
There is hope and there’s power.
We can live life in love
And peace through his Cross.
And no longer be lost
In these wars at such cost.
