Let your heart
touch a flower
have it sing with the bees
Spirit moves through
mountains
Spirit rides the seas
Dancing on moonbeams
While lighting love
in our smiles
Taking all our
nonsense
But trusting in a child
The Christ we hold
is truly, really more
Than we can ever
put to thought
and
much
much
more
than
lore
Be deep
in
your faith
Be shallow
in
your doubt
Be rich
in
forgiveness
Be poor
in blame
Be naked
in your
pride
Turn ashes
from
the flame
Love is
in the
embers
It’s
the
ego
one
must
tame
My feet touch the ground
as I rise from a sleep
my heart finds you near
with you I find no fear
your promise a great gift
you’re ever at our side
generous and gracious
from us you never hide
my only task
to keep you near
my thoughts on you
so clear
bring on this day
my lovely Lord
with every breath
I pray
You might
think
I’m a
know-it-all
I’m really
your friend
Showing how
to love
Here to defend
Take up
the good life
You’ll never
see
defeat
No matter
where
you travel
as long as
you love
Put the spirit
in your step
just like a hand
in glove
I sing love songs
to the maker
I hum
with the bees
praising ever flower
each flower
pleases me
Walking on a trail
looking high
at trees
sensing just this
moment
eternity
and
me
While your life
is at it
and your feet
know not the way
Gentle your spirit
put on Christ and pray
walk on
walk on
there’s light
in
every
day
My rivers
run
deep
My mountains
rise high
Low and behold
I’m ever at your side
Fret no more
my gentle one
grasp my hand
it’s near
Together
we will walk
crushing
every fear
Into a field
of blooms
upon a
mossy trail
My love
for you
my precious
one
Will
never
ever
fail
allow love
to be.
who?
you.
allow love
to be
who
you become.
allow
love
in
every
instance
for the tenderness in your heart yearns to be
heard
seen
known
recognized
remembered
rejoiced
reconciled
redeemed
renewed
replenished
reinvented
and
radiantly
present.
Bring life
into life.
“How?”
you say.
Listen
let me tell you.
There’s only
only one way.
Choose each word
rinse it twice
in good.
Smile at the troubles
you never thought
you could.
Put on an armor
of love
from his arsenal and gear.
For never will
you fail
his hand is
always
near.
Walk on
Child.
Walk on
this way.
For each step
you choose
put life
in your day.
His glory will
please.
His love
will
praise.
We know
Christ has it right
as we move
toward
the light
so strap on your boots
or walk on blistered feet
just stay
the
narrow
it’s where the
light
you’ll
meet
I can’t speak for goats
lolling in the hay
but this
I can tell you
your heart
knows
just
the
way
it’s here
it’s patient
grace keeps
no score
and all
of the mercy
you’ll ever need
is
hidden
in
your
core
truth to tell
