Trust 

Fearful, wondering, what if's
Worry and rash actions
Too many relationship rifts
Why am I so anxious?

Cried out in despair
Why is my life a mess?
Holy Spirit answered with care
Your focus is not blessed

Look up! Take My hand
Walk humbly with Me
You've decided to be in command
But you're blind, unable to see

Never letting go
Fighting every change
Worn to the bone
Heart filled with rage

Yes, I'm relying too much on myself
Expecting others to rescue me
When only God Himself
Can truly make me happy

Trust! That's the word to embrace
Can't make it on my own
Must lean fully on God's Grace
And trust in Him alone

In Him, I Win

goldenpeachsunrise

It’s morning
Sunrise was golden peach
Still I’m frowning
Incessant pain’s no treat

Though days are lovely
They are hard
Surrounded by beauty
Can’t enjoy it, I’m marred

Shed lots of tears
Begged God for healing
Lived in fears
Emotions reeling

It’s hard to trust
That God has a plan
But, trust Him I must
So little help from man

Another day dawn
Hope on the horizon
He’s keeping me strong
My heart beats on

Out of the blue
Peace encompassed me
Jesus’ love sure and true
Poured out bountifully

I won’t give up
Nor will I give in
My God holds me up
In HIM I win!

Reaching Out

unity_hands

He’s the Son
Radiant One
His Light in me
Love like the sea

Expanding my heart
Tearing fear apart
Setting me free
To love like He

Trusting His lead
From my knees
Learning humility
That pride is futility

Embracing peace
Praying divisions cease
Reaching out
Despite all doubt

I may be scorned
Or, even ignored
But, unity must be;
It’s THE key!

Do you really love Him?
Know prejudice is sin!
God created many colors
All my sisters and brothers

Start with a smile
Talk for awhile Read more…
