My heart was not made to know sin, my inner ears not made for hearing all my flaws, nor to see the present moment through a broken memory. My heart was made to know God,, my inner ears to hear the conviction of his love and my eyes to witness the beauty of his […]

Anything is Possible
In the darkness of ourselves anything is possible and any lie can become a reality. If you’re in the dark, it only takes a whisper to tell you whats there, and who you are and you start to believe it. You start to believe your ugly, no good-dirty cause your eye caught some […]
Reach Back: A Poem about God’s Unrequited Love
A hand waits. Reaches for us to reach back In life his hand waits to hold our hand Just to touch us; no pre-text, or demand His heartfelt love meets our weeping lack The love in his eyes doesn’t dim to black His shining light can give no reprimand Just reaches- out to […]
Step Into Love: A poem inspired by Colossians 2:14
Thoughts of guilt, come as breath For even breathing has its strife As I breath stones: I choke to death Self-struck, no body left: Entombed within my very life Accused by my every breath For life, for cause of death, So buried in by mortal strife: A deserved casket I expect In […]

I Forget the Sky
Step by step I forget the sky My body struggles to apply These little wings I’ve never tried As my hope rises now to fly God was I born just to forget The future hasn’t happened yet Let me live God instead of try As my hope rises now to fly Should I […]
Let Me Believe Instead of Do
God should I trust myself or you? For my straightest paths askew I walk and lose my way to you Let me believe instead of do I will myself to shine alight But does sun try to break the night? We all know dawn will follow through Let me believe instead of do […]
