A LITTLE SECRET

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

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

A Little Dose of Dying

take

a

dose

of 

dying

a little bit each day

then

you 

draw

me

close

to

you

I choose to trust your way

can’t 

report

it’s

comforting

to give my parts away

but

then

when

it

is

done

the better parts can stay

is

this

the 

mystery

of 

the 

cross

why not come out and say

but

then

you

know

by 

watching

us

we’d still get in our way

so

death

by

inches

death

by 

dose

I’ll take it just the same

just

please

write

upon

my

heart

your precious, precious name

My Lovely Lord – A Prayer for Strength and Guidance

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

PRECIOUS ONE (PRAYER FOR THE WEARY)

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

“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.

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
