I am tired and nearly spent I give my all – 100% It’s never enough May it be worth it. I feel so weak I’m on my knees I need your strength Lord, help me please. I cry out – Anguish and despair I believe You Not Satan’s snares.

I am no one Just forget me We never met So, no regrets. I must have had No effect So heart and soul Won’t conflict. Say goodbye I won’t cry We have no time So you decide. I’ll see you on The other side Oh, no – wait! It’s judgment time. May God forgive Not […]

Teach me to walk slower, Lord So that I may truly see All of the wonderful treasures You have given me. Teach me to take the time, Lord To stop and smell the flowers For, I can never rewind my life Or relive the hurried hours. Teach me to think before I speak, Lord Lest, […]

Sorrow I feel that you will never know The deeply affective states which move our souls Those extraordinary moments which are born everyday Derived from the tragedies and triumphs that come our way. Each of them treasured and weighed with great measure As we distinguish between them, anguish and pleasure They help us decide our […]

You’re not sorry for things you say Words like daggers, you curse my name You’re not sorry for things you do The pain you cause – I’m black and blue. Does hell exist? You’re the proof! For, I know Satan because of you. So, I am grateful our paths have crossed My faith increased – […]

When you ask me how I feel I may fall silent and forget what’s real When you ask me what I want Again the silence – a foreign thought. For, the past has made me so afraid To be myself or know my own name I wasn’t asked about my thoughts, How I felt or […]

I will never betray your trust To protect your honor is a must. A loyal partner I vow be Your biggest fan, just wait and see. I will trust you as a leader And challenge you as a believer. I’ll be your lover and best friend An honest voice until the end.

How good is grief for our growth It makes us travel certain roads Down difficult paths we would never venture If not forced to, by such displeasure. Grief refines us, makes us grow It begs us to seek Him and search our souls Such levels of intimacy with the Lord Can never be taught, or […]

Father God, I wish to be so close I can feel your breathe upon my face That your heart may beat in time to mine And I get lost within your gaze. I wish to be so close That your whisper is all I hear Cradle me within your arms Shelter me from fear. I […]

May my words fall silent If my tongue wants to lie. May my pride be exposed If I become haughty in life. May my jealousy be subdued If I envy what isn’t mine. May my anger be dissolved If I seek revenge for a wrong. May my greed be squandered If I desire selfish pleasures. […]

A shepherd’s care for his flock Is not to be untold He shares a plea to keep his sheep Safe within its folds. Yet as he does, if one should stray Into the cold fields alone He’ll follow them and earnestly seek To save their lives, their souls. Why such concern for a wandering lamb? […]

When struggles are present Will I remember Your name? Do I focus on all that eludes Or trust with unwavering faith? When tears are shed And fear rears its head, Do I foster those thoughts Or believe You instead? A little discomfort may be good for the soul To make me think and help me […]
