I’ve read the history of our revolutionWhich led the way to our constitution.The battles with great loss of life,Were our young nation’s terrible strife.Where men of God through toil and prayerPreserved for us our freedom there. I’ve learned the lessons of civil warWhere thousands died, and what for?The freedom of slaves from master’s snares,That allContinue reading “Freedom is Not Free”

Through the silent whispers of the heartI hear his word and want to do my part.Beyond the quiet stillness of the morning dewI hear the quiet whispers many are new. The unspoken reverence of his exampleHearing his voice at times is ample.Through the gentle nudging of his handsThe mild hushed voice of his commands. IContinue reading “How Do I Hear Him?”

When my heart and desire has inched far away,And my focus has found my depth perception waning,I strain to see how my small choices have led me,To stand in wonder, lost in my life’s will declining. To seek for forgiveness and find it wanting,While justice seeks rightly for its own demand.Turns my heart back toContinue reading “A Forgiving Heart”

The memories of a former life,Of one I once had known.Creep into my mind,as moments I am shown. I struggle to remember those days,we sat at Father’s feet above the shroud.And learned of his great plan,how with joy we shouted out loud.
