Redeemed
Rest in the moments poured out with the rain,
silent stories, meant to reveal God’s truth…
Every ache, each sorrow, throughout the worst pain,
there is a gentle knowing that love is the way…
Rest in the news that God has come to save us from sin,
know He’ll never forsake those He forgives…
Every dark moment, despite the shadows, He...

Sunday, He LivesEarly in the morning
Before the sun dawned,
Women crept to the garden
Asking how to open the tomb,
How to see in the gloom
What do we say to the guards?
The earth shook!
Tremors rocked the city walls,
Leaves fell like rain,
And the guards ran and hid;
At the tomb, these...

THE MIST OF PRIDE
Can you ever be pleased, mankind?
Everything we try, yet we're met with night.
We're nerds, unaware of the truth's light,
When all that pleases you lies in deceitful sight.
"Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world"
Yet we strive to fit, in a world that's flawed from birth.
Truth's told when falsehoods behold your desire's flame,
Emulate to...

God Help UsI sat there.
Stewing.
Angry at the world.
That day,
on Easter,
I had witnessed a Christian church service.
It was cult-like.
They worshiped beings,
having little proof of their existence.
They chanted verses and phrases in unison.
It resembled a hive mind.
I returned home shortly after.
I learned that I was not able to see someone dear to me that day.
Their loved ones were off...

The Man on the Cross
Story of wonder, story of grace
how I yearn to see His lovely face?
I believe He will love me always
His love for me can surely amaze!
God’s blessing, His precious love
falling from heaven – sent from above
to reveal the beauty in those who see
He is the reason we’ll live eternally!
Still, clear mornings reveal His beauty
He’s in the...

The Eternal Question: God, No God, Maybe GodSometimes, I think my soul remembers Him before my mind does, like there is something ancient stitched into my chest that pulses without needing proof. I have never seen Him with my eyes, yet I have felt Him in places where no one else was. All I had to do was pray, and the Holy...

Allegory Of Lazarus And The Rich ManThe ending of your salvation
Is the ending of your life
Like Lazarus he's very poor
He wear sack cloth, he's sick
He only eat the crumbs under the rich man's table
The rich man has all the things in life
He is famous, he's powerful, he's respected
Death is the equalizer of life
Lazarus died, the rich man also died
Lazarus died angel...

Waiting for the Rising Son
1 Corinthians 1:18 “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”
As I wait for the Son to rise,
for hope to soar through the skies
for the light of the world to shine
so that grace and love are mine…
I hear the...

The God I Know
With a voice like thunder – some days
gentle blessings on others, as my heart prays
from the old, old story –
His cross led to lasting glory
no one on earth would have expected
the beautiful love His grace perfected
as He died and was buried,
His lifeless body was carried
away, destined for the lonely grave
who could have known...

SPIRIT CALLINGOn a cozy night
Very late midnight
I heard a voice
Calling
A voice in my head
As it slowly whispered.
Wake up
Get up
It's time to act
Taking action
Towards your Aspirations.
Wanted to fall asleep again
But couldn't
The voices keep screaming aloud
Time waits for none
Wake up, get up and take actions
My spirit keeps...

Oh Mary, What Did Your Eyes See?
Oh Mary, blessed art thou among women.
What did your eyes see?
And the angel said unto her,
Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb,
And bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
And the...

It's Timeless
I’m no one, she thinks and smiles
to herself – imagining
when the world looks at her
they see gray hair and wrinkles,
sagging skin and dentures
those little things that remember
she has turned the corner on her fifties
soon she’ll be in her sixties…
dear heart, where has the time gone?
it was only yesterday
or a few years back, in the...
