I WISH ALL

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

LET YOUR HEART

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

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

WALK ON WALK ON

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

Allow Love

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.

“HOW?” YOU SAY

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.

DON’T BE A GOAT

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

The Mountain The Blooms

The ground

YOU

walk on

“HOLY, HOLY.”, says the bees.

And all in the forest

concure with the trees.

What’s all your fussin’

what’s all your blame?

Take a walk in nature

do you hear it shame?

Of course not!

We, while beggars

see not the trees

or know the sound of eternity

humming like bees.

It takes a broken moment

forged from deep faith

to see the truth in light

from where all

and all

is right.

Metal your efforts

return to child’s play

for Christ has plans

and Christ has ways.

Now go to the Mountain

walk through the blooms and blaze.

Take the hand of Christ

follow all Christ’s ways.

Join the journey

stop to smell the blooms.

Heaven in your heart and mind

has many

many

rooms.

Divine ambush

My spirit

took the straight path

My feet the winding trail

At each switchback

and level gain

My heart in you

the same

Lifted from the burden

abuse and shame

Free now upon the

Mountain

My heart remains

the same

Divine, the ambush

free

fully yours

Hear the Mighty Mountain

sing now love songs

to the shores
