FOR ME

When You cried out
"It is finished"
You set in motion
A spiral of events
That I might be cleansed
Be forgiven,
What more shall I say
Than " Thank You"
For You were done.

When You cried out
"Why hast Thou forsaken me?"
You made me realise
You have been there
In confidence I now move
Knowing what I go through
Is something You know well
You'll lift me through the heat.

When you said in distress
"Father, forgive them"
For me a lesson you drew
That I may forget
What others to me did
And forgive unconditionally
Just like to me You've done.

When You said
"Today with me in paradise you'll dwell"
An open promise you made
That if I acknowledged You
Home I'd return
No matter the roughness of the journey
Welcome me home You will
For like that criminal,
I once stood against You.

When you cried out
"Into Your hands I lift my spirit"
Obedience and surrender came afore
and You showed me the way
To the highest heavens
I know that shall be my home
For that act of sacrifice
You did it all
Just for me!

EAGLE

Eagle flying high
You guide my eyes
To the peaceful blue sky.
Your lovely freedom
And the rhythm of your flaps
Awakens me to the beauty
Of what God has created.
Each thrust upward and forward
Lifts my eyes up
Only to realise
The greatness and splendor
Of God.

THE STARLIT SKY

The starlit sky
Builds images of love
Promises never fading
And journey to a world
Beyond it
A world of fairness, hope
And achieved dreams
For then I am part
Of a number that held on
To a promise never lost.
It all began
With the sight
Of the starlit sky

FOR LOVE

Your whole self is amazing
Your eyes filled with love
Your ears
Ready to listen
Your hands
Ready to serve
Your face
Showing your true nature.

I speak of this
I knew you not
Yet you cared enough
Enough to die for me.
And why shouldn’t I rejoice
After all
It is all about you.

Your own I am
Saved from the pits
Raised to the seats
High in the heavens
Where only the chosen
Sit not frozen
But praising you evermore.

I marvel and say
It started that day
When all that was
Was Calvary
And all this
For love

WHEN....

When in doubt
I look to the skies
And see what He's done
So I can have assurance
He still loves me.

When in pain
I look to nature
And see how He moves with it
Then I have assurance
He's healed me.

When depressed
I look to His life
For it was full of treachery
Yet He overcame it
His success becomes my own.

When in fear
I look to the heavens
For my faith then is renewed
And deeper appreciation
Do I get for what He is.

When I am me
I let Him be enthroned
Then in awe stand before Him
To let Him know
He alone is God.

THE VOICES

I hear the voice from above
Beckoning, tirelessly
"Listen my son"
I hear the voice from the other side
Crying out loudly
"Hey, here I am, damn the other"
I hear the inner soul speak
"Man, let life reign"
I hear myself understand
The voices from within
And slowly
I take a stand
That only God looks down upon
And Smiles

WHAT SHALL I SAY?

What shall I say -
That you never cared
That you never loved
That you never blessed
That you never lived?

What shall I say-
You were never there
You let me alone
You laughed at me all the while
You mocked my trials?

What sincerely shall I say-
That you far away
That you just sit there
That you can't do anything
Or that you just let things?

What will I say-

You will do nothing
You will let me slip
You won't guide me at all
You will punish me
And show me no way?

Not at all!
For when these questions arise
You I will praise
And you, Lord, will I thank
For you know too well
Why I live,
And care so much
Not to care for me.

I shall say nothing
But sit back
And enjoy your peace, love
And above all
Grace abounding
Forever.

FOR LOVE

Your whole self is amazing
Your eyes filled with love
Your ears
Ready to listen
Your hands
Ready to serve

Showing your true nature.

Yet you cared enough

And why shouldn’t I rejoice
After all
It is all about you.

Your own I am

Raised to the seats
High in the heavens
Where only the chosen
Sit not frozen
But praising you evermore.

I marvel and say

When all that was
