I Am the Watchman on the Hill
I am the watchman on the hill,
My brother’s cry, I hear it still.
Though shadows stretch and winds grow wild,
I’ll cross the dark to find the child.
Not born of blood alone is kin,
But shared the fight we hold within—
When sorrow knocks or hunger calls,
My hands become the sheltering walls.
His burden is not his to bear,
If I

Curtain pulled aside so as to not obstruct his view.
She's here ! She's here! The initial alarm would ring heard clearly to the chariot soon to whisk them away. Granny,Granny, a name I chose myself,building in

Watchman Nee
When I Experienced China I understood why
The Lord gave Watchman Nee such a powerful ministry!
Discovering the Chinese culture, I can understand
The reason behind the Lord’s decision!
I wrote several poems in China while
Understanding calligraphy—
Each stroke carried a unique purpose!
Love filtered in my life as I prayed in China
I saw the Lord’s hand more and more!
As I

The Sentinel
"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"He pits the parties
To perfect His will
In His heavens,
And on His Earth!"
"I trust Him to do the right thing
More than I trust my own judgment."
"Same ol', same ol'!",
Cries the Sentinel.
"Their moral high-rank
Is only a Mirage,
Tricking a thirsty soul
That its way is safe!"
"I trust Him to guide my footsteps

Night Watchman
It's a couple of hours into the early morning.
A television station gives its viewers a warning:
The channel is signing off the air
to the tune of a rocket's red glare,
and bombs bursting in air.
It's time to turn off the TV, and grab my flashlight.
I must walk the area to see all is right.

The Watchman
Cooling moon shivers
Between sharpening mountains;
My lone watch begins --
All thoughts carried far away...
Just twigs upon the river.

Revealed Watchman
Tell me why they criticize
why they lie
why they compromise
tell me why truth is like the jam in jelly
taken lightly stick to the belly
Tell me, yes a collar fits the neck
without choking cracking self with debt
here a little there a little bagged up with denial
poor unwanted bastard child
were clothing fits loose
double minded stiff necked too
not to

Watchman
Dark gray clouds amassed
Sunlight beams rays through
Moisture 'pon green grass
Time when all things life renew
The Mockingbird sings
Loud and strong his song
'Pon the dead limb clings
He the watchman headstrong
Early one morning
Seeds and water placed
He spent hours singing
All the birds came_raced
His tune understood
All's safe come one_all
Even though some God forsook
But judgment's soon pall
The Watchman sings loud
Enjoy

Watchman
how hard is it for the eyes to see,
past mans logic, past his own reasoning,
for a purpose that goes beyond himself,
that changes the way he sees himself,
rest assured, God sees through,
behind all we say, and what we do,
even when we don't have a clue,
the heart of his love continually moves,
watchmen stand guard night and day,
in

Watchman Keep Not Silent
Sometimes as we speak the truth of what the LORD,directs us
to reveal to the rebellious house and nation__
We become afraid of their looks,and maybe dismayed
at their words!
We try to advise them to do the right things,to stay away
from rebellion and sin,
But we are perceived to be their bitterest enemies!
For the LORD
