Teaching Me...

When my realities 

are hurting me again

My Lord, My God

faithfully touches

my grieving heart

easing the heaviness

teaching me 

how to breathe...

I Asked God

Again today

I gazed at the skies...

My heart in throbbing pain 

in streaming tears 

sought the face of God...

Again painfully 

I asked Him...

"Oh God 

What do you see

deep in me?..."

"Oh God

Are these all

what you purposed for me?..."

In fiercely grieving heart

I asked God again today...

In Losing All Reasons

I am dead so weary

betrayed 

rejected

pushed away...

I am dead desolate

just a mistake

just a renounced sin

don't mean anything...

I am dead so weak

so drained

feeling worthless

so meaningless...

I am dead to the grave

my soul deep in me

groaning

in misery and pain...

Losing all reasons to move

graciously lovingly

God is keeping my worn soul

in His embrace...

helping my heart inhale

for another day 

in my everyday...

When I am giving up on me...

I was dying

I am dying within

I lost all meaning 

No use for existing...

To close my eyes

and rest my worn soul 

is all that calls...

I was dying

I am dying

My sorrows consuming 

So tired of wretchedness 

I rather lay in solitude 

in timeless slumber

where all my pain

will be forgotten...

I was dying 

I am dying

everyday I am...

Yet...amazingly

God is lifting me up

in my each falling...

when I am giving up on me

in each day...

Path Less Trodden

I am treading on a path less trodden 

Along are riven hearts 

so worn in agony

crying for God's mercy...

With no more reason to move on

they keep on

they hold on

to that faith in their heart

in every step of the path 

Believing 

Trusting 

that in the road less trodden 

God is molding hearts 

to greater faith

For His greater purpose...

And in the path less trodden 

God's mercy and grace 

is more than sufficient 

For He is keeping 

the broken hearts in His...

Remembering the ways of the Lord...

Remembering the stories of old

All the miracles of the Lord

As He saved and led Israel 

from slavery to liberty...

As He provided 

bread and fish for the multitude...

As He healed the sick...

and brought to life the dead...

Remembering the ways of the Lord

looking upon my life

remembering the days

that have come and gone...

Recounting...

how He held me up to the mountain top

how He filled my cups and my tables

how He kept me safe from many dangers

how He raised me up whenever I fall

how He pulled me back when I strayed 

how He fixed my crooked paths 

how He touched my mind and heart

that I may I understand His will and His grace...

My heart takes comfort 

remembering the ways of the Lord...

Feel their pain...

The depth of the deepest pain

Oh who could contain...?

The sadness of the saddest heart

Oh who could grasp...?

Feel their pain 

Feel their sadness

So you may understand...
