"Trust Me,Trust God"
I truly want to live my life
as a living sacrifice
of trust
I looked my heart right in the eye
and prayed to God I'd understand
what it takes to be a man
of trust
My Dearest Lord;
please calm the storm
that rages through my restless soul
Oh; Jesus, please
turn its whirling swirling seas
to an ocean of love
we must ask God to be our guide
then He'll truly magnify
the poetry that's deep inside
each of our souls
look your heart right in the eye
and pray to God in Jesus name
Lord; show me how to live my life
as a living sacrifice
of trust.
In the very same way,
the trappings of sin
were shed the moment I began my new life:
transforming into beauty unimaginable
before I embraced Christ.
From this moment on,
I feel no fear
knowing He's near.
What can bring greater hope?
Death has lost its grip on me!
My tears are the same joy
for new beginnings.
Cessation of life is something we shared
with no chance to shed this worldly cocoon of sin
were it not for our risen Savior!
Should it be for fear of death alone that we run to God:
thinking that if we force ourselves to do our part that
somehow,
by works we shall enter eternity unscathed?
God loves a cheerful giver,
yet, all we have has come from Him!
Only by losing our lives can we actually gain the true life:
by asking Jesus to remove our caterpillar veil
and taking us into the eternity we hope for.
Life's beatings take on an insignificance.
Therefore we bear the scars of growth
and not of injury.
Oh what trust I have in You, Lord;
what hope You have for our lives,
touching them with the Gospel of Peace.
For so long I've walked this road in fear,
but not anymore!
For I feel You near.
Your sacrifice has made it so clear,
to where now I understand as never before
that You are here.

This world is but a grain of sand
on Gods eternal shores
the oceans are as drops of rain
dewdrops held in hallowed hands
changing shape and form
from earth to sky
until once again it's poured
to bring new life to fertile lands.
Unbound by the strands of time,
moisture filters through porous lime
deep into earth's molten core
where forgotten hopes hide behind
Heavens sanctuary door.
Indistinct, faint gleamings
roar headlong through my being
where thirsting for my God
and hungering for my Lord
sustains my search for meaning.
Oh, Lord give me wings
that my spirit may soar
And my longing for release
be filled forevermore.
Lord, send me winds
lift me up
give me more
and more
of You.
A longing borne of love
defines my need for You
ascending far above
I fly
an eagle is my soul
through eternal skies
I soar.
Higher, Bolder!
I become the sky
majestic boundless heights
leaves me awestruck
at the breadth,
of knowledge I desired.
How could I know the fire
You would create in me?
I could never have foreseen
the streams of love
flash flooding through me
Wildly, Joyously!
Free falling down the cliffs
bright fogbanks of clouds
shade mountainsides immense
through grandeur blue and azure
as a verdant sea
gliding down through stately trees
descending on sweet Heaven's breeze
this eagle finally lands
on Gods eternal shores
sinless evermore
I'm home!
The more I give to You
the higher that I soar
the more I live for You
the stronger I adore
with immortality,
WITH YOU!
To live
to love
You more.

great music is incomprehensible
a sweet movement of inner depth
no matter how talented
the artist
there is a sense of wonder
of awe
at what he doesn't understand
how he does it
or maybe even why
yet still
he defines beauty
in what he plays
in spite of his human limits
God!
on a much grander scale
composes the universe,
it's expanse
Yet!
His Grandeur
allows Him
to experience wonder
in spite of
there being no secret
to Him in what
He does
He has no need
no burning desire
to compromise
such beauty
by placing limits
on the grasp of
knowledge
of what
true beauty is
before the miracle
is ready to
reveal itself
one dimension
at a time
until eternity
is ready
for the secret
of time
to be ripe
once again
for the plucking!
