To rest under a wing that holds us near
the Holy Spirit comes with sheltering peace
and when the changes of life threaten our rest
it is Jesus , who comes, to bring us sweet relief

Oh God, of heaven, earth and sky
break forth through the clouds with grace , and mercy shown
when we hurt from weariness, and loneliness inside
please come and remind us You'll never leave us alone

Oh just breathe on us, Your gentle spirit of hope
revive the weariness of body , soul and mind
and in that place where the Spirit draws close
Lord, may it be Your peace that we will always find

Just come and draw us under Your Wings of Hope
a place sheltered by your all encompassing Love
we come, Lord Jesus , knowing You're all we need
I pray Lord, may it be Your peace that falls from heaven above

Come, Come, Come - and Enter In

Come fill with me Your Spirit, Lord
Come and ignite a passion in me, from deep within
don't let me hide behind a bushel , O Lord
Come, come, oh come , and enter in

Yes, settle deeper into my heart, O God
come in times when Your spirit needs to be made strong
break through the times when I stand in the way
O God, enter in , when, and where , You belong

Come fill me Lord, with Your Spirit near
empty my heart where life's callouse's leave me cold
replace in me, things that need to be removed and exchanged
Lord, walking in Your Steps, let my faith be strong and bold.

The Price Of Eternity

Nothing is worth the price of eternity,
Nothing too tempting, too strong.
It's simply too costly, the price that I pay,
The longings I feel are so wrong.

I know in my mind, but I feel in my heart,
I come for Your help on my knees.
So hold me, please hold me, and open Your arms,
And listen once more to my pleas.

The enemy knows just where to attack me,
He knows on my own I am weak,
And so, oh my Father, I come once again,
For Your strength I constantly seek.

Without You I'll fail and Satan prevail,
This battle must be overcome.
Eternity's calling, I fear I am falling
To lies and my feelings succumb.

For strength I am pleading and Your Word agreeing,
For Your sweet deliverance I pray.
Your promise I'm claiming, for heaven I'm aiming,
Don't let me Your mercy betray.


"The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations." II Peter 2:9a (KJV)

The Integrity of God's Name

Lord , may every day be a Holy day
not just one day out of every week
and in the minutes, and hours surrounding my day
Lord, may You , in that time , be all that I seek

Lord, lead me into Your temple, Lord
a holy place where Your presence always stands
and as I enter in , humbly , from both the front and back
Lord, with my heart and mind, fully see Your Place, and understand

Lord, keep teaching me, even from every stubborn trait I have
take and replacing those with truth - Yours , strong and clear
For in my heart, and soul, Lord , may your Word reside
Lord, Your voice is all that I long to hear

This morning I come,with this , my prayer , today
Lord, that Your Temple , in me, be opened wide
and in my heart, where Your Holiness lives
it's there, may the integrity of Your Name, always reside.

Poem: Nothing Gold Can Stay

Standing at the threshold
of Death's ultimate door,
my last gasp escapes me...
As I've never experienced before.

Into the Heavenly realm
I ascend in wonderment,
now housed in an incorruptible body
and thankful that from sin I did repent.

Standing in God's throne room
freed of all Earthly flesh,
my spiritual essence is energized
and feeling fully refreshed.

Now gathered unto my Savior,
unencumbered reality is more than it seems;
for to be in His Presence
is my accomplished dream.

Having been given my kingly reward,
in these times of everlasting days,
willfully I set my crown at His feet.
For upon my head, nothing gold can stay.

Poem: Enjoy This Season

Withering grass of this season
with your abundance of green,
take advantage of Today -
Contribute to this Earthly scene.

Enjoy your present strength;
ignore worries of the past.
Let the distant failures fade
and let sweeter memories last.

Be true to yourself always,
standing tall and strong.
Focus on your own meadows and...
Learn to hum to Life's song.

The Beauty of His Grace

God creates a beautiful flower
after dark winter fades into the sky
His creation designed with brilliant colors
and is beautiful to those seeing with Godly eyes

His gift to us as His precious sons , and daughters
we , the flowers , designed from His beating heart
our Jesus is the King, and Master Gardener
yes, He knows us, intimately, each gentle and delicate part

His Son " takes to task " , each needed sunrise
knowing the power of healing warmth rising in its way
and God's Presence breaking through the darkest shadows
heals all wounds with His Love, for each of us today

So this gift that our world's been given
such a precious flower - for all to behold
In us , a glimmer of new life in this daily journey
by the Beauty of His Grace, and mercies told.

Yes, God grows a gentle flower in the healing
as the Son rises each morning in the sky
and , after the night brings growing in the process
His beautiful creation, is what God sees both you , and I.
