Bring all your sorrow, your guilt, and your pain, Bring all your burdens, your fears, and your chains. Bring your disappointment and even every sin, Bring it all. It doesn’t matter what shape you are in. Release, exhale, drop, let everything go, Because the answer is near and soon it shall flow. Full of allContinue reading “A River Runs Through”

Pedestals
Pedestals were meant to bring objects up higher, Not for us to place men upon so we can admire. Nor to exalt ourselves above others and say look at me, Or put our lives on display for all the world to see. Who are we except filthy rags washed clean by lamb’s blood? Or wretchesContinue reading “Pedestals”
When Love Walks In
When love walks in. Fear is checked at the door. Humbled hearts bow in submission, Upon the holy threshing floor. When love walks in, Blinded eyes see again. A blanket lined in God’s glory, Covers a multitude of sin. When love walks in, Divided nations unify, Wisdom comes from Heaven, And shines the light onContinue reading “When Love Walks In”
True Love Waits
True love still waits even when we may fall,And when we fail to answer to His loving call. True love waits when we fall short time and time again,Or become gravely entangled in the bondage of our sins. True love waits in the dark of night while we are upon bended knee,He leans in everContinue reading “True Love Waits”
If We Only Had a Heart
If we only had a heart, We wouldn’t look on as the innocent die, Or turn a deaf ear as children torn from parent’s arms cry. If we only had a heart, We would see human and not race, We’d understand that because of Our Father everyone has a place. If we only had aContinue reading “If We Only Had a Heart”
Why?
Why do people grab their purses when they see me walking by? Little do they know I’ve never stolen anything in my whole life. Why is my natural hair considered so unprofessional? Yet, other ethnicities can work with colored hair and tatted skulls. Why am I deemed unworthy of a seat at the table? Yet,Continue reading “Why?”
A Tree
There once was a tree that stood broad and tall,That would serve as a bridge to all that are lost. A tree that would be cut up but held lots of power,And bring eternal light to an ungodly hour. A tree that would reach as high as the heavens,That would serve as a path forContinue reading “A Tree”
Sow
There was a farmer who wanted his crop to grow,But he was rather stingy and wouldn’t let his seed go. The winter brought a terrible drought, scarce was the rain,He was apprehensive. He wasn’t sure more seed he’d gain. Carefully he’d count a few and plant them in the ground,He’d even sow at night whileContinue reading “Sow”
The River
There was once a river that stood on its own,That was born in a manger whose feet the Earth roamed. Who grew up in stature, in wisdom, and truth,Who taught with authority from the days of His youth. Who astonished great scholars and teachers alike,Who made many men wonder and even dislike. At whose nameContinue reading “The River”
Listen!
Listen when it’s busy, Listen when it’s still. Listen when you’re healthy, Listen when you’re ill. Listen when it’s dark and dim, Listen when light shines through. Listen even in your sadness because I want to speak to you. Listen my children because your life depends on it, I had to shut things down justContinue reading “Listen!”
