Communion tears
Communion tears
from troubled hearts
glistening pathways
to the heart of God.
Communion tears
from hurting hearts
healing touches
from the physician of souls.
Communion tears
cries from within
never wasted
reach the watchful ears of Love.

Tell Me Again Lord
draw me close
tell me again Lord
how I must attend
that this vessel
does not drown in the
mire of treacherous seas
I am listening Lord
extend and deepen
my daily tapping into
the divine reservoir
of Your living water
remind me Lord
to pierce through the storm
focus on You and not drift
or seek the easier course
yes Lord
I hear your whispers
You are the Navigator
the Master of my voyage
draw me close
tell me again
Illuminate
How wide do you shine?
does your glow cover all
the house or is it saved
only for you in your small spot?
do you shine down the street
and across town into the
stores, businesses, bars
where they sit huddled in darkness
afraid to enter into the
house of God
are you only a night light or
do you illuminate for the
whole world to see?
does your candle give light
to all the house to come
and sit at the Redeemers feet?
Nice work, Keith and Donna!
Keith...I also experience tears on Communion Sunday. But thank God for them and pray for a heart tender to God. Thank you!
Submitting a sample of my poetry for consideration.
Becoming One
It’s in becoming one,
Where we will learn to willingly surrender,
That which God will one day require of us.
It’s in becoming one,
We learn that submission and selflessness,
Are far superior to selfishness that the world inspires.
It’s in becoming one,
That we learn the eternal immeasurable value,
Of people and relationships over things.
It’s in becoming one,
We learn transparency and loving communication,
Choosing vulnerability and risking wounds from a faithful friend.
Oh Lord, may we realize,
That in avoiding selfless surrender,
We will only delay...even increase pain inherent in the inevitable.
Lord, may You bless and reward,
The fruits of our labor to become one,
Enable and strengthen us as we draw close to You!
