Freedom

I know You love me being me

Your perfect love has set me free

And now in everything I do

Jesus, may I live in You

And share Your love with all I see? 

Praying

I have no time to sit and pray

No matter what I do or say

Yet when I spend some time with you

I feel your love come shining through

I will spend some time today!

As I Am

Thank God You love me as I am

As mean and closed up like a clam

But I know that You see me

As You know I ought to be

And not just living as a sham!

Joy

There are no words that can express

The love in You that I possess

Please let me show in all I do

The joy that I have found in You

I know you wish for nothing less 

Poems

Every poem that I write

Flows from Your all-consuming light

The thought’s from You, as is the skill

I do my best for good or ill

Lord help me aid You in your fight!

Being Me

I love You Lord but I confess

I sometimes can succumb to stress

I blow my top and even swear

Yet still I know Your loving care

It’s part of being me, I guess.

Beauty

When I stop and look around

With my feet firm on the ground

I see Your beauty everywhere

No wonder that I stand and stare

For Your blessings they abound

Love

I have known the love of God
Throughout all my life
Firstly as a child at home
And then shared with my wife.
When the children came along
God's love was seen to grow.
From the base of family love
There comes a warming glow.
This glow becomes a spark of flame
That starts to fiercely burn
And to share this feeling
My soul does truly yearn.
I long for that true joyous day
When all the world will share
That most amazing love of God
Which banishes despair.

A Sonnet on Doubt

Why does God allow the horror?
Why does God allow the pain?
Why does God allow the terror
That consumes our lives again?
Why does God allow my doubting?
Why does God forget my need?
Why won't he hear my shouting?
Is there a God indeed?
I am not a great romancer
And I'm surely not a dope.
I do not know the answer
But my heart is full of hope.
He will somehow cure this cancer
For I'm sure that He can cope!
