It's Time

When nothing goes according to plan
and you seem overwhelmed by your circumstance
then it's time to reach for a pair of hands 
much bigger and stronger than yours

When emotions have you feeling down
and it seems there's no one else around
then it's time to rest where love abounds 
in a home where hope endures

When life is trekking all uphill
and your own footprints are too big to fill
then it's time to let go of your will
receive the peace His grace ensures

you make me

You make you go out of my head.

the morning after

The next day was better.

Remind Me

Life can turn out crazy, I know for a fact

I get so distracted I forget where I’m at

Between my business meetings and keeping up the yard

Three little kids who need me and fixing up the car

I might take you for granted, but you mean so much to me

So before I have to go, please remind me

Remind me how much you love me

Remind me how much you care

Remind me you’re thinking of me

And how you’ll always be there

I know we made a promise

But I forget so easily

So before I have to go

Please remind me

Life can sure get messy, with many ups and downs

But each day is a blessing, when I have you around

To have me and to hold me, to chase my fears away

To love me through the highs and lows of each ordinary day

I might take you for granted, but you mean so much to me

So before I have to go, please remind me

Remind me how much you love me

Remind me how much you care

Remind me you’re thinking of me

And how you’ll always be there

I know we made a promise

But I forget so easily

So before I have to go

Please remind me

Life is never guaranteed, we don’t know where it ends

So until the good Lord calls me, to come back home again

Remind me how much you love me

Remind me how much you care

Remind me you’re thinking of me

And how you’ll always be there

I know we made a promise

But I forget so easily

So before I have to go

Please remind me

Transcendence of Tranquility

The quiet speaks to me

His silent breath distills the shadows

Inhale reveals the marvels of the universe

Exhales expose the falsity of doubt and fear

The stillness moves me

Each breath nudges me closer to the inner calm of serenity

Love and beauty envelop the tranquility of transcendence I call home

Perfection pursues me

Surrounded on every side by the joy 

And acceptance of the humanity I have

The person I am

The one I was created to be

Bathed in light

Developed in wonder

Delighting in my freedom and surrender

I breathe Him in and my frailties melt away

I breathe again

The beginning has no end

Oh Come

Oh sun

Come warm my skin

Heaven surrounds

Grow peace within

Oh wind

Come blow my way

Chase worries from

My heart today

Oh rain

Come pour on me

Wash fears away

And make me clean

Oh love

Come whisper sweet

Where suffering

And sorrows meet

Oh Lord

Come shine Your light

In and all
Throughout my life

You Changed My World

You were a man, just a man, just like any other man, you were

Until you held my hand, you held my hand unlike any other man before

You touched my skin, you moved my heart, you changed my world

I was a girl, a lonely girl, just like any other girl, I was

Until you kissed my lips, you kissed my lonely lips into one

You touched my skin, you moved my heart, you changed my world

We became us, a brand us, we transformed you and me, we did

We became us as we made love, when we made love the way we did

You touched my skin, you moved my heart, you changed my world
