Ebb and flow

The clouds, they moved with seem less ease,
Across the hills upon the breeze.
A wall of water gently fell in their wake,
It embraced the earth and kissed the lake.

The wind soon blew to caress the trees, And the sun shimmered down to dress...

Simon Peter

I trailed in shadows to see His fate,
Too afraid to move beyond the gate, Ashamed, I spoke with hot denials,
While within, my Lord began His trials.

I do not know the man you are mistaken,
My Lord was by my words forsaken.
I followed when...

Christ our Master

Adrift in the sea with no anchor to hold,
Left to the storm, the wind, and the cold.
The waves billow round in the blackness of night,
Sin takes the helm with no heed to our plight.

Then comes the Master who the waves obey,
Bringing the...

Christ our Hope

Adrift in the sea with no anchor to hold,
Left to the storm, the wind, and the cold.
The waves billow round in the blackness of night,
Sin takes the helm with no heed to our plight.

Christ our Anchor

Adrift in the sea with no anchor to hold,
Left to the storm, the wind, and the cold.
The waves billow round in the blackness of night,
Sin takes the helm with no heed to our plight.

Then comes the Master who the waves obey,
Bringing the...

Words

My words were melancholy with troubled thoughts of woe,
The deepest trials of darkness that wouldn’t let me go.

The words, they seemed to take upon the troubles I had faced,
They weren’t the words I wanted that were filled with endless grace.

No Shame

I looked for the hope in this dark of night
My strength was gone and I’d lost the fight,
Waves of sorrow sank me ever down
And regret came along to help me drown.

My way was obscured by a deep despair,
Until a caring friend lifted me up in...

A Child’s Joy

I see the world through his eyes when he tells me about his day,
I hear the joy and laughter when I listen to him play.
So many new things that I had forgotten about,
The wonder of a caterpillar as it’s crawling
out.
How great it is to paint...

My Sister

My home was broken before I was born,
The fabric of my family was already torn.
My nine-year-old sister took me into her heart,
A beautiful gift right from my start.
She couldn’t shelter me from the storms of life,
And I know that cuts her...

Perfect Redemption

When all seemed lost at Calvary,
And Christ lay dying on that tree,
The earth trembled, and the veil was shred,
As the Son of God then bowed his head.

As there upon the cross he died,
God’s wrath for sin was satisfied.
A day of darkness,...

Nigel (Sorrow’s Grasp)

I lost my brother by his own decision;
Alone with his pain, he’d lost his vision.
I lived in a cult that was founded upon lies,
And no sorrow is allowed when a loved one dies.
On that ominous day, I received that call,
Surrounded by people,...
