When We Meet

After a long walk,
After a long life,
After a long wait,
I will finally behold
In all Your majestic quality
A life of glamour,
A light filled with spleandour,
A gold filled habitation,
And a love that's unfailing.
All that will come to pass
When we meet
If I stay hooked to You.
And joy it will bring me
For the wait was worth it all
And the path despite being narrow
Led me to where You dwell.
In Your arms I will lie
And have security
In an everlasting God of Love.

The Way

Where there's a will
They say there's a way
And yet I have learned
The way can be rough
With stones and rocks
With bushes and thorns
With mountains and valleys.
In the midst of this all
Shines a light, a way of sorts
Showing the final destination.
If there's indeed a will
This light shall guide us there
And soon, home we shall be.

Give Me Reason

Give me reason to smile
When all hell breaks loose
Give me reason to fly
When my wings are clipped
Give me reason to live
When death surrounds me
Give me reason to be
When despair knocks at my door
Give me reason to fight
When all strength is quenched
And I know, that I know
That when You give
I will move on and live,
That, I know.

Drop Me A Line

When all turns dry
and the trees shed their leaves
The darkness hangs over me
And in isolation from life I stand
Drop me a line
That I may behold the light.

When the sky filled with grey
Hovers over the shrouded sun
And the birds' songs simply sleep
Letting me wander off in pain
Drop me a line
That hope may in me be revived.

When all around is fear
And the music of life turns strange
Lifting me to heights of despair
And holding me hanging in space
Drop me a line
That I may feel I am held.

Drop me a line
That even in the darkest valleys
I may hold on to hope
And see the sunlight
Even through the keyhole
For you dropped me a line.

The Little Guides

The little light shows
The little flame burns
The little bird sings
The little voice guides
And to a little place
I am led
With full knowledge
That it is the right one
Where my God and I
Have the best of communion.
It all starts small
And soon
His glory I behold
And marvel
At His glorious sight.
It may take long
But the little light
Flame, bird and voice
Led me to where
It all began.

How?

In the stillness of Your presence
There I am
Waiting
Waiting for Your hand
To reach out to me
And hold me still
In the fiery flames:
At the end I shall bow
And know
You took me through
Even when
I may never know
How.

To Death

You, I implore
Never to take my loved Ones,
With force you come
My prayers to harden.

Now, I stand,
In complete distaste for you:
To let you know
You are nothing
Nothing!
And your threat to me
Only awakens the joy
Of the knowledge
That to my Father you bring me
And with my family
You most certainly rejoin me.

So where is your faith death?
Where is the fear you created?
Where is your sting?
Broken they all are
And be sure
You won't live long
As long as my God lives.
