Verbs of God

Dancing in every corner
of my unbridled mind,
Rejoicing resounds from every
crevice of the revelrous parade.

You've freed me, saved me,
held me, loved me, made me
one of Your very own.

Joy abounds like a flowing
brook babbling through my rocky mind.
Peace descends and covers each
department like a tranquil fog.

You've lifted me, carried me,
whitewashed me, embraced me, knitted me
together to be who I am today.

Past events have all been
erased from the annals of memory.
Healing flows through every
limb of my troubled mind.

You've befriended me, amended me,
confounded me, forgiven me, protected me
from my anguish here on earth.

Thank you.

Sound Advice

Walked away from the door today,
Went and sat at my desk.
Was the first time in weeks I looked away,
Wanted to clear my head and get some rest.

For weeks I had sat and I had stared
Frustrated and filled with emotional strife.
Fomenting rebellion as much as I dared,
Foisting my impatience in the Lord of Life.

"Come to me, spend time with me,"
Called my Father God each hour.
"Cling to my teachings and be free,
Cast your cares on me, stop giving them power."

So I sat at my desk and began to pray,
Seeking my Lord and forgetting the door.
Somewhere during the chat I heard Him say,
"She's a girl worth waiting for."

A Weary Plea

Pensive
I wander through my mind
Days have passed wihout time for this repast.

Weary of effort.
Rest seems so far off and distant.
Stop this endless cavalcade of doing.

Draw me into Your arms.
Write rest on my drooping eyelids
Tell me to take a break.

I know You want me to do Your will
Yet You're not trying to kill me
Everything is draining me.

Eagles' wings
Grant me rest and eagles' wings
And that shall be enough.

Pensive
Sing over my heart, Father God,
Grant me rest and eagles' wings.
