Letting Go of Sadness

Letting Go of Sadness

Letting go of sadness

Grief and laughter

Hand in hand

Walked the beach

Toes deep in sand

Grief had cried an

Ocean of tears

While laughter became

Solace

Up and down

Through the years

Letting go of sad

As a garment that no longer fits

To stand naked

Before a world

Ready embrace

And seam up

The perfect cloak

Of acceptance

Other wounded souls

Healing their own scared spirits

At the flame of my confession

Knowing nothing about nothing

Experiencing that I am

A much beloved child of God

Close the door on

Entreaties, excuses, explanations,

Defenses, blather

Grace Dissolves

Grace Dissolves

Magnified

Vilified

Satisfied

Glorified

The natural order of flow

Let nothing impede, deter, interfere

Allow all deterrents to crumble on

Their own nebulous foundations

Grace dissolves the ersatz mortar

Acceptance is a more flexible bond

Strengthening the natural order

In a firmer foundation

Of gentle growth

Not a hast anxiety based

Cover up solution

Free My Mind

Free My Mind

Unclench my hands, Lord, to receive

Your grace

Free my mind, Lord, please

Compulsive thoughts erase

Release my heart dear spirit of love

What a powerful source of energy

Is ignited, bright, wafting in

It’s new essence, accepting the

Empowerment of your ever renewing

Creation – death and resurrection

A generation of hope floating

New life carries me

Awe and Wonder

Awe and Wonder

What’s a mountaintop experience, Lord?

Answer my question, if you please

I’m your child who wants to climb

Here, take my hand and gently squeeze

When I see a fresh perspective

Ah! That is a nod from you

I am not the world’s detective

Challenging another’s view

I can just feel awe and wonder

At the splendor of each day

No fear at the storm’s loud thunder

The cleansing rain will show God’s way

I must take the time to ponder

Pause and rest from time to time

Will a cloud burst keep me stranded?

Interfering with our climb

I don’t need to plan the journey

You will point out caves and manna

For our shelter and our food

You will care for our dear Hannah

We will see it’s for her good

We must each our mountain climb

Spending time with Him alone

But we sing our praise in chorus

Finding notes that blend our tone

Comrade Jesus

Comrade Jesus

On your time table, comrade Jesus

Let me walk with you

Welcome those who climb the tree

Because they’re short in stature

Welcome as you’ve welcomed me

Revealing thus my nature

Comrade Jesus, release fear

That I’m not enough

What I’m short on- you supply

For you know just what I need

Material things need not apply

Word of God fill more than stuff

Comrade Jesus, help me now

In letting go of pressure

Outside forces slow me down

In my walk with you

And I’ll miss the clarity of love

That expands my view

Since time and tide wait for

No man

I’ll seek timelessness and go with the flow

Divinely Motivated

Divinely Motivated
 

Oh, the joy of the heart that

Relies on His power

That can rest in His presence

Peace flows hour by hour

Oh, the joy of the soul that is filled with His hope

For He wastes not a thing

Gives us courage to cope

Oh, the joy of the mind

That relaxes in praise

Pouring forth from Its lips

All the length of its days

Oh, the joy of His creature

That he has called good

For the wholeness wells up

From His own sacred food
