The dawn's quiet benediction 
sanctifies the soft 
drizzle

     dripping through the canopy 
     of that majestic 
     mahogany,

          unto my humbly bowed
          head, quietly 
          anointing me!...

Spring creeps into a normal routine
barely noticeable at first glance
fulfilling the beauty that we all yearn
to see and smell with bursting color
spreading everywhere upon the warmth
that summer glorifies and sanctifies....

Cracks in the pavement
Look like rivers approaching
an estuary.

Natural beauty,
the shapes and forms wandering,
sanctifies the road.

Cherry trees branches,
A wide canopy of leaves,
Blossom blows away

Sung geometry,
held still and made eternal,
Catches at my throat....

In Christ I will ever live,
by His sacrifice,justified;
With my sins forgiven,
the Holy Spirit
sanctifies,
'til this life I depart,
into Jesus light,
glorified.

Prayer soothes, sweetens and sanctifies the believer – quote by poet


Pleasant thoughts brightening 
Praises showering hope
Promising joy in love 
Power within the heart
Playing light and laughter
Pulsating breaths of grace
Perfecting souls with faith

The rolling sky self-reflecting as it froths above God
Whispering lacey silhouettes as it curdles in my mouth
The baptismal rain sanctifies itself endlessly


My imperial Eden and unannounced abomination
Severe with conviction; let my body weather here as marble death
My deepest river, you swarm my blood as butterflies clotting me with unashamed resolution


I remain as ever, unchanging....

There is only one me 
me, I'm power incarnate
I AM THAT I AM

there is only one 
the Lord who sanctifies you
I AM THAT I AM

I the Lord will provide
Jehovah-jireh
I AM THAT I AM

Jehovah-raah
The Lord is my shepherd
There is only one me
Thanks be to God always


There is only one me 
me, I'm power incarnate
I AM THAT I AM

It is not hopeless,
Though they seem lifeless;
The moon beams no less,
When the sky's starless!

In bliss all sleepers rise,
Like summer night fireflies!
And Jesus' love rectifies,
When holiness sanctifies.

It is not quite so bad,
Nor moreover quite so sad.
Beside this stone ivy-clad,
Earth weeps, heaven is glad!

It is not such a tragedy,
Too lucky in love are we;
And not so great catastrophe;
Only the door to eternity!...

Jesus Lord you who sanctifies me

Yes, yes, yes
And  the Lord who sanctifies you
Is the Lord that sanctifies me
Hallelujah 
Jehovah-mekoddishkem
The Lord who sanctifies you
