Sip a
glass
of spirit.
One that tips
when topped.
Let’s hope our pleasant server
never
ever
stops.
Let’s fill
our glass
and sip it
down.
The spirit
will
surely
last,
far beyond
the
thirst,
far beyond
the
glass.
I say
the drink
delights.
I say
it sparks
with glee.
But all we’re
really drinking
is
something
made
for
free.
I’ll share
a little
secret
a thought
to
set
you
free.
But we’re not all the same
the
only
me
is me.
I’m sure you’ll find the secret
it’s hiding
right
in
side.
But tell me
who’s that doubter
wanting
but
to
hide?
Did you
engage this
or were
you
needing
cause?
Remember
as a child
you
knew
nothing
of
these laws.
But really
there
is
truth
in putting
down
the
sword.
How
truly
how
handy
the
Word
the
Lord.
I wish all
to know
the you in me
I wish all
to feel
the love
you give
so free
I wish all
to know
the beauty
the
grace
I wish all
to know
YOU
ARE
THE
PLACE
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
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.
Muster
yourself
train
your
inner
troops
all those nascent
ones
learning to march
toward
light
at
your
command
for
goodness
sake
truth to tell
