Faith, Hope, & Love

Faith is like breathing
The fresh open air
It’s reality
It’s life
Hope is like spring
It never fails to come
And remind us that 
Winter doesn’t last forever
Summer is just around the corner
So keep on breathing
Faith will lead you
And never forget to stop
And smell the spring flowers
That blossom for a moment
But His words last forever
And His love will carry us
Through the dark days
Bringing us joy
Like sun in the rain

Precious One

Death reminds me 
Of what a gift
Life is 
And the pain
Shows me
That my heart 
Is alive
And feeling
And loving
This little one
That we can’t hold
Yet in eternity
We will meet 
This gift of God
Who was not here long
And yet
Touched our hearts 
Forever
I love you 
Precious one
At home
In the arms
Of the Father

Then Sings My Soul…

When my life song is ending
And my last note is sung
I’ll join Him in eternity
Where the singing’s
Just begun

Offering of Praise

Quiet my soul
When I’m afraid
Speak
Dear Yeshua
Your words
Of faith
Come calm
The storm
I’m tossed
By the waves
Whisper
Shalom
Bring me
Home
Yahweh
All I have
Is this offering
Of praise
Simple
And human
Yet touched
By Your grace
I will sing
For You
All my days

Little One

I can’t hold you
Forever
Sweet little one
But in His arms
You are safe
Whatever may come 

When I Said Goodbye

When I said goodbye
It was not forever
It was only for a while
Only till 
My final breath
When victory conquers
The sting of death
Softly
I’ll join you
In that eternal home
A place where
Death
Will not be known
So though I cry
I will remember
When I say “hello”
It will last forever

Alive

How many prayers
Have been prayed for you?
And now you feel them
Breaking through
How many years
Have you lived in fear?
Hiding the hurt
Ignoring the tears
Your heart
Lost
In a deep
Dark cave
Depression keeping
You in your grave
Until you met
The Light of day
And He washed your anger
All away
Forgiveness called you
By your name
Now you stand
Forever
Changed
Who could ever be the same?
After knowing
This healing rain
Who could question
The power of grace?
When a heart
Has been cleansed
Of all its shame

Now you are alive.

Like a Miracle

May He speak the words
That none could say
And touch your heart
Like a miracle
Today

Wrapping you closer
Than anyone could
And healing your soul
Like you’ve dreamed
He would

May you find rest
In His embrace
Filled with joy
Righteousness & grace
May you dwell 
In His House
For all your days

Jerusalem Stone

Jerusalem stone
In evening light
Shines like gold
Amber bright
Chipped by war
Smoothed by time
Towering walls
Streets that wind
Narrow
Narrow
Into the heart of the city
Jerusalem stone
What stories do you keep?
Ancient ruins
Hidden beneath
Your stones cry out
They cry for peace
Singing and dancing
In the streets
No more fighting
No more fear
When Messiah Yeshua
Has drawn you near
Jerusalem stone
In eternal light
Will shine like gold
Forever bright

Made Beautiful

You don’t need make-up
To hide behind
Or a mirror 
To see yourself
‘Cause you are so much more
Than a reflection
In glass
You’re a broken soul
Made beautiful
Dust
Alive
Forever
