Music reverberates from floor unto dome, Harmony swells in my ears; The chords drive in, Gloriously piercing my soul. I stray from the singing And stand at the lake. But why does my heart ache? The strawberry sun fades behind cobweb mist; Its light sprinkles over the waves, Peeking around every cattail— Kissing my face.Continue reading “Homesick”

Every Drop of Red
Trickling down from outstretched hands, Slowly staining Calvary’s sands, Every drop of red Drip Drip Dripped As the Saviour bled. Love so rich, one drop of grace Covered sins of every race. Full, enough, and more. Drip Drip Dripped. Who knew love before?
He Knew, But Still
The moon escapes behind a forest of clouds, not daring to intrude on the scene in the garden where the Son kneels in deepening shades. Life oozing from sweat pores runs down His face. Doubled over in agony, He sees it all. The stoniness and cold, distortions and darkness. Darkness darker than the absence ofContinue reading “He Knew, But Still”
Marvelous Mystery
Who is more wonderful than Jesus Christ? What is more marvelous than God Himself coming to earth? He exceeded all expectations. He completely changed the world. His coming marked a new kingdom, a new life, a new future. Those who saw Him marveled. Confused religious leaders struggled to defend themselves. His own followers wondered atContinue reading “Marvelous Mystery”
Arise
The voice of my Beloved! Behold, He cometh Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping across the fields. My Beloved spake, and said unto me, “Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away. For I will make a new thing. I will make all things beautiful. For, lo, the winter is past, The rain isContinue reading “Arise”
These Are Your Children
These are Your children, Lord, and they need You. I need You. Black-haired and brown-skinned, all wrapped in bright colors, They wave their inked hands and flash dazzling smiles; Swaying in rhythm to worshipful singing, Eyes fixed on teachers, enthralled all the while. These are Your children. Cheering and whistling while pushing and crushing, AllContinue reading “These Are Your Children”
The Time to Worship
I wish I could write music. Some songwriters can express profound thoughts in gripping poetry and musical arrangements. I’ve tried, but it doesn’t come easily. I wish I could play music. I’d love to sit down at a piano and let my fingers dance. (Actually, I can do that, but the din that arises soundsContinue reading “The Time to Worship”
My Heart For You
The Lord God saith, “I will hedge up your paths with thorns. With prickles will I hem you in So that you cannot find your way. For you seem ignorant of all I’ve done for you, All that I am for you. You chase after love that can’t satisfy, Drawing dust from a well That’sContinue reading “My Heart For You”
The Weeping City
Through a windshield splattered with mud and rain— Rain that speckles, trickles, and slides— I watch the city rush by. Reflected on puddles, windows, and mirrors, I see lights— Orange lights, green lights, red and blue blinking. I see trucks and semis, cars and buses— Weaving in and out, honking, splashing, and wailing. I seeContinue reading “The Weeping City”
From An Elephant Teddy
Again and again lately, I have been reminded of how incredibly blessed we are this Christmas season. The blessings come in so many different packages and I cannot unwrap them all for you today. The greatest blessing of all is that my Savior humbled Himself to become man so He could offer salvation. He experiencedContinue reading “From An Elephant Teddy”
