For Lindsay

If tears could heal a broken heart,
I’d weep all night for you.
If dreams could bring you back again,
I’d sleep my whole life through.
If memories could restore our bond,
I’d not forget you ever.
If pain could lead to Heaven’s gate,
With joy...

The Promise

THE PROMISE

Except that ye become as one,
God’s will on earth cannot be done.
Did we not take a marriage vow?
And with these rings said, “I thee wed
‘Till death doth part”, these words we said,
A promise made for then….and now!

And...

Waiting For the Light

WAITING FOR THE LIGHT

Not much to do all through the night,
Not much to see in black and white,
Where I’m waiting,
I’m there waiting,
For the light!

Passing shadows are like friends,
Some come and go, some never end,
Where I’m...

Stand Against the Wind

When brooding clouds grow angry,
When threatening skies lash out,
When thunder jolts the heavens,
When tempests drift about,
When driving gales abrade you,
When summer’s storms begin,
When trouble churns the waters,
Just stand against the...

A Sinner's Prayer

A SINNER’S PRAYER

 
Forgive me Father
For I have sinned,
For I’ve ignored your laws
And let the tempter in,
Secure my soul,
O Lord, draw near,
Abide in perfect love
And cast out every fear

 
I hear the angels,
Rejoice in you,
I see a...

Secure to You

SECURE TO YOU

My hands fasten to your glory,
My feet bind to your disgrace,
Like a shadow cast upon the sunlight,
My soul seizes your embrace,
Like a child clings unto her mother,
Like a wave holds fast to the sea,
My heart joins secure...

Blessed Epiphany (I'm Not Alone)

BLESSED EPIPHANY

When gazing at distant worlds,
I feel so alone.
So lost in the universe,
So cold,
So remote,
So far from home.
Yet out of the galaxy
A voice from afar
Rings out ‘cross the universe;
An air from a distant shining...

Let It Be Now (Here in this Holy Place)

LET IT BE NOW

If e’er there is a moment when love enters the room,
If e’er there is an hour to exit from the tomb,
If e’er there is a time to take your neighbour’s hand
And walk with them to the Promised Land,
Let it be now,
Here in this...

The Poor Man

THE POOR MAN

My heart won’t despair from a poor man’s name,
Nor will my servant’s hands let my pride refrain,
From washing the feet of the poor and the lame
For only pride can bring me shame.

My head will not rest on a rich man’s bed
For...

November

November,
Bleak November,
So somber you appear.
Through blissful sunlit summer days,
Graceful shadows e’er drew near.
You remind us of departed souls.
And like a ghostly wraith,
Of bygone holocausts and wars,
That haunt those who break...
