I am
This lonely lamb
Waiting for
Thy Sheppard
Oh, how sweet this love of God...

Freedom 

I can go outside. 
I can go inside. 
I can climb a mountain, 
or swim in the sea. 

Freedom. 

I am free....

Faith (in the garden)

The bright yellow faces
of the sunflowers look right into the sky. 
They peer up and know they are smiled upon. 
We should all be so blessed....

A Joyful Noise

In the dark, when fear is great...
He comes. He calms. He cares. 
In the stillness, hear Him. He teaches.
In sickness, He heals. He comforts and protects.
He is Sheppard. He is Savior. He is KING!
Amen....

Lord, through all the chaos
In this world, you put 
Me in your magnificent plan
To know who I am, because
You put an angel in my hand
You give me this blessing
Now, I completely understand
You are thy Sheppard and
I am your lamb...

In my heart he need not dwell
I live inside his daunting shell
The vision of his love to be
I stand and doth he cannot see
His words may only feed my soul
To share it doth not leave me whole
Yet in my heart the sheppard sleeps
For if he wakes my conscience weeps...

offer your bread, in doing
so you'll help your neighbor 

love of community 
is gone

keep the sheep 
divided and they will 
never collide with
the sheppard

keep their headphones in
so they will never hear
crying of others

the windows are always up,
scared of a 
breathe of air...

Abundant
A certainly
Coming ever before me

Blessings
Based confessions
Exposing me

I come before you
Please, Lord show me
I am just a lamb and you’re my Sheppard
I’m just a lamb and I confess this
I just a lamb and I am also your child

They blasted off, breaking the bonds of Earth,
reaching for the edge of space
Cracking a hole in the great blue ceiling
that will nevermore be replaced.

Astronauts in their cloaks of pride,
bravery, their Tour de Force, in place.
The spirit of the first explorer, Alan Sheppard,
rode with them as they harnessed space....

He doth' Sheppard Me
    Threw the Eve
            - Of -
Dawns' Morning Light
      He lead's Me
  To Salvation when
     It seem to be
  No where in Sight
He settles' My Thoughts'
      When I can't sleep...
          ------
     All of My day's
  And into the Night
He protect Me from EVIL
          - Fore -
He is Glory
     He is Might

While You Sleep

The morning is still gray, 
it is just before the dawn. 
I stare out the kitchen window, 
looking for a lost song. 

I make the coffee, 
and clean up... last night. 
It was a good time,
to remember, 
how to laugh. 

Now you are quiet, 
and so am I. 
Peaceful is the day, 
in every way. 
I pray.

I lived a life of sin and my 
life seemed rightous then,
but my life hadn't really begun...

The knots of my life grew
tighter with every sin, the more I sinned
the more twists and turns.

But JESUS loved and cared for me 
and now my life to Him I live,
all to him I know I belong.

He is my sheppard, in Him I strive
to abide, all that I long for and 
all that I need, Is HE!...

I may not be their Sheppard
But I find myself 
watching over them
whenever they are in sight.
I cannot guide them
To where I’d assume they’d be safe
All I can do is watch them march
One by one in place
Alone I am not
When I say,
I will follow them
Wherever they might go
So I will let my faith guide them
To where I assume…
They’d be safe
Guide me on my longest nights,
Black diamond’s of the night....

On the wings of a dove
Or the wings of a pigeon
I will not budge
Not even a smidgen

My faith in the lord
Is so strong it is rigid
I help out the poor
Cause of my religion

A Sheppard is he
That tends to his herd
If you open your ear
And hear his good word

He was put on a cross
For all our transgressions
We had a great loss
But we learned some great lessons

I will always be good
To the people I know
As we all should
Let our love show...

There are no words 
to describe how great you are.
You are the great I am
from beginning to the end
You’re the eternal God
You are our Father
You are our Sheppard, provider, 
our deliverer,
You are the king of kings
The creator of everything
You are amazing
In all the universe, 
there is none like you
You are amazing, amazing God
Each creature with its own design
You are the master builder
You’re one of a kind
You are amazing, amazing God...
