What is it with me I often ask, Before going to the Lord in prayer. That makes him want to stay with me, And go with me everywhere. He's always there when I want to talk, He listens to every word. The advice he gives in response, Beats any lecture I've ever heard. I think that if I'd ask Him for the moon. He'd throw in a bunch of stars. If I ask Him to touch a broken heart, He'd heal my deepest scars. Who is this person who loves me so, What does He hope to gain in return. I hope someday to respond in kind, For now I just listen and learn. Someti...

When someone does something nice to you. You'd like to respond in kind. Finding the right words or that special gift, Is sometimes hard to find. saying thank you oft seems to miss the mark, And doesn't adequately express how we f'eel. To that person who took the extra time. To help us get up that hill. I somtetimes think we need bigger words, That allow us to better express our thoughts. Words that have more emotion and power, Than any gift that was ever bought. Then there are times when we instinctively know. That no words can possibly express. The gr...

I've had bad days,  months, and years. At times I could not control my tears. Eve cried out for mercy to God on high. He eased my suffering and wiped my eyes. Each time I cry out and call His name. He touches my soul and soothes my pain. Through the midst of it all He's always there. To hold my hand and show that He cares. Like oil from the olive my tears also flow. When crushed by life as wearily I go. But in the midst of it all I hear angles sing. Holy, Holy, the words would ring. Jesus was crushed and badly bruised. Tortured, maligned, and murderously ...

I will praise you as long as I live, And in your fluter I will lift up my hands. In the morning and in the night, I will honor your every command. My heart cries out for you Oh Lord, In the silence of this hour. May I sense your Holy presence, Like the fragrance of a flower. Descend on me in love and power, For I need you on this day. The pressure of life is bearing down, Only you can lead the way. You alone are my comfort Lord, No one else can understand. I bow in awe of your love and power, And humbly raise my hands. These hands I lift to prais...

Six years ago the Spirit came, And caused me so much grief. I didn't know where to turn, My anguish was beyond belief. I began to question everything, Even the principles on which I stood. The logic that served me all that time, Proved to be no good. I began to search in vein for the crack, That tamed my world upside down. I searched for the reason in my mind, But the flaw could not be found. All of the sudden I realized the truth, That almost sent me into shock. The base on which I had pinned my hope, Was not built on solid rock. Darkness overca...

Consider the flowers that grow with the grass, In meadows of emerald green. The finest example of God's affection, These eyes have ever seen. Look at the flowers and imagine a world, Where beauty you could not find. A world where splendor had no place, And the people are somber and blind. A flower relies on the things of God, To make it flawless in His sight. His love, the sun, and a dash of rain, Commingle to style it just right. This recipe of God is confection for the soul, That make our days joyful and bright. It lets us know there's magic within, ...

Before I knew God I marveled at the stars. And wondered what held them in place. My mind would ponder the intricate details. That govern both time and space. Did you know it can take a million years, For the light from a star to reach your eye. Think about that the next time you're out, And look up at a star filled sky. Why God made the heavens so vast, Is a question that can catch you off guard. Until you remember that to a mighty God, It most seem like a little back yard. Today I think more about God, The person who created our universe. The words He...
