Thursday, November 27, 2008 - Thankful

Posted in Poetry

I am thankful for the Son that shines,
Upon my everyday,
Grateful for His Love Divine,
That washed my sin away.
I am thankful for the trials that come,
To strengthen who I am,
Grateful that He is the One,
The sacrificial Lamb.
I am thankful for the air I breathe
And every step I take
Grateful  that He’s chosen me
And died for my soul’s sake.
I am thankful that He loved me so,
Though worthy I am not
Grateful  that I truly know
My life He has bought.
His blessings I am thankful for
His joy fills my day
Grateful that He loves me more,
Than any words can say.

Thursday, November 6, 2008 - Draw Near

Posted in Poetry

Simply love

From above

With no fear

He draws near

Wounded hearts

Life thrown darts

Grace and Peace

Within your reach

Broken dreams

Silent screams

Heard by One

His only Son

Lonely mind

Long lost time

Broken soul

He makes you whole

Healing power

Every hour

He is here

The Way is clear

Reach for Him

Bring Him in

Free your life

From its strife

He waits for you

To make you new

To take your pain

Just call His Name

He is Love

From above

Have no fear

And draw Him near.

Thursday, September 11, 2008 - Not Forgotten

Posted in Poetry

We have not forgotten,
That day not long ago,
When to our soils an enemy came,
And struck his baneful blow.

He sought to drive us under,
To destroy our way of life,
To bring his hate and anger,
And throw us into strife.

But little did he know,
On that fateful day,
That stronger we would be,
United we would stay.

His arrows had their sting,
The wounds cut deep within,
Pain and sorrow came,
But this enemy did not win.

He really did not know us,
His lack is clear to see,
His plan had failed to break us,
And take our liberty.

Mighty is the hand of Him,
Upon which we built this land,
No enemy can take our faith,
Together we will stand.

He could not take our freedom,
He would not steal our pride,
For together we have faced him,
God is on our side.

Thursday, August 28, 2008 - Little Sparrow

Posted in Poetry

Little Sparrow, frail and small,
Hear your Savior’s call,
Reach out to Him,
Be freed from sin,
His blood covered all.

Little Sparrow, with wings to fly,
Heed your Master’s cry,
Be reborn
Released from scorn,
His love will lift you high

Little Sparrow, leave the nest,
Receive your Father’s best,
Joy and peace
Within your reach,
Your life will be blessed.

Little Sparrow spread the Word,
Let His Song be heard,
Within your heart,
A brand new start,
His Promise is delivered.

Little Sparrow, chosen one,
When your life is done
No more sorrow,
A new tomorrow,
Rejoicing with the Son.

VMD

********************

Heaven waits
With open Gates
To welcome one and all.
Receive Him in
Released from sin
Simply answer His call.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - Lullaby

Posted in Poetry

Close your eyes, my little one,
Rest your weary mind,
Drift away on clouds of dreams,
Leave this day behind.

Sleep my child in peaceful bliss,
Wrapped up in my love,
Tomorrow soon will be today,
With newness from above.

So let the gentle slumber,
Wash over you tonight,
God’s blessings soon will greet you,
In the morning light.

Thursday, June 26, 2008 - Life Celebration

Posted in Poetry

Wonders of wonder,
Beauty above beauty,
Behold God’s awesome Creation.
Treasures upon treasures,
Grace abounding Grace,
In a splendid celebration.

The Whisper of Peace,
Soothing the weary,
A broken soul safely at rest.
Indescribable joy,
Overflowing the heart,
In our Father’s given best.

Reach beyond reaching,
Touch the untouchable,
His Precious Hand gently guiding.
Moment by moment,
Life after living,
In His Arms always residing.

Rejoice in Comfort,
Hear the Song of His Voice,
Each day is a new beginning.
Think not on the past,
Rejoice in His Mercy,
Each life is worth celebrating.

Monday, June 16, 2008 - Witness

Posted in Poetry

Shout with a voice of thunder

That rolls across the sky

Filled with awesome wonder

Of His majesty on high

Declare His marvelous deeds

That fall as rain in spring

New life to fallen seed

His mercy always brings

Walk straight the path before you

In His steps follow near

Keep His word in your view

His way will be clear.

Speak His Name to others

Share everything you know

Live together as brothers

In Him you’re sure to grow.

Know His song of peace

The joy your heart will feel

If you only reach

To touch His love so real.

Monday, May 19, 2008 - Saved

Posted in Poetry

Blessed by Grace

Washed in His Blood

See His Face

Feel His Love.

Freely given

Saving Power

Road to Heaven

Final hour.

A simple choice

Darkness or Light

Hear His Voice

Win the fight.

No longer lost

Never alone

He paid the cost

To bring me Home.

Sacred Lamb

Sacrifice

The Great I Am

Saved my life.

Thursday, April 24, 2008 - A Work of Art

Posted in Poetry

This was my inspiration for this poem.

Blooms so bold and beautiful,

Painted white as snow,

Spring kissed colors before my eyes,

Behold the radiant glow.

Tiny buds peak their heads,

On a canvas of blue and green,

Washed in sunlit glory,

A wonder to be seen.

Reds and yellows, purples and pinks,

A rainbow palette from above,

The Artist, the Sculptor, the Master,

My Lord’s gift of Love.

Monday, April 7, 2008 - Patchwork Heart

Posted in Poetry

Moments of time,

pieced together,

In the fabric of my mind.

Memories of life,

Stitched with care,

A finer seam you’ll never find.

In a melody of color,

Sewn perfectly,

Right from the start.

Treasured thoughts

Of yesterday,

In the patchwork of my heart.
