Lost and wandering along a dreary path,Darkness envelopes my mind enshrouded in wrath.Piercing the solitude beyond the break of day,Hoping beyond all hope I will somehow find my way. Each new day a sliver of hope remains,Pouring healing oil over all my inner pains.Broadening my views to enhance my desire,Lighting within a small palpable flameContinue reading “Ransomed”

Hearken To His Word
With a patience beyond my mortal grasp,The Lord extends his hand to clasp.My hand in his and pulls me back from the brink,To hold firmly his word, deeply now I drink. Releasing my grip on his word I turn,Despite the feeling my bosom does burn.I wander lost not hearing, bereft alone,Of my own choice deprived,Continue reading “Hearken To His Word”
Bridges
What are the bridges of life I ponder?As through this mortal realm I wander.Every day bridges we findBuilding expanses to broaden our mind. What can bridge the gap from here to there,To pastures green with flowers so fair?The call of immortality,That only comes from deity. How may we cross-impassable streams,To the distant land made ofContinue reading “Bridges”

Freedom is Not Free
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”
Fear Not
When fear and doubt weigh heavy on my mind,And the adversary does my will tightly bind,I reach into the quiver of my mind and secure,An arrow of faith so that I may long endure. Fear is the antithesis of faith and of desire,That binds us secure in the trial of life’s fire.Until we catch holdContinue reading “Fear Not”
The Refiner’s Fire
To become more holy as God would have us come to be,We must pass through the refiner’s fire to purely see.That grief and pain can purify our hearts and our mind,Drawing us closer to the Savior in time he will bind. In the fire of affliction is not a comfortable place to be,Yet it makesContinue reading “The Refiner’s Fire”
Tune My Heart
At times I struggle to heed and hear his voice,To guide my steps into his paths and way.To align my thoughts and heart to change,I seek to follow him both night and day. His melodic transfer would penetrate my heart,When I finally accept his will in place of my own.The harmony builds in strength divine,WhenContinue reading “Tune My Heart”
