The Same Way

One sees a rose
enjoying its beauty,
Its color, and its
softness…

and I look at You
that same way.

I want You, but I do
not lust after You,
for I want You so
completely…

If that is possible.

I need You, as I need
water to survive,  for
I need Your spirit to live…

and it’s a true statement.

One may see a diamond,
and inside they desire,
want, need and love it.

In the same way I shall
always embrace Your love,
with my eager heart.

For I desire everything
that You are, for You
make my life complete.

Your Light

Your light shines
upon me,
and bears seed.

And my seedling
blossoms and shines
back to you.

Your love given
freely to me
intermingles with
my love.

Giving birth to spiiritual
teardrops, whose light
happily returns back to
You, the praises of my heart.

My Treasured Place

Each morning I rise up before You
Never taking for granted what I find
Knowing that it is only by Your grace
That the breath inside my lungs is mine

And as I open my eyes wide to You
As rays of happiness alight my face
I am filled with a certain tranquility
That I will never find to be displaced

For the light within shines brighter
Than the radiance of the new day sun
And my heart is lifted by Your grace
Pointing to the place my faith has won

For even though all I see around me
In this world will soon turn to dust
There is only one thought that moves me
To live eternally your love is a must

For only you alone could give to me
A reward that I could never earn
And only by believing in your grace
Was my treasured place in heaven born.

"Trust"

Lean not unto your
own understanding,
for Jesus will find
a way.

Lean not to the world,
for the world is Satan’s,
and  doomed to a
hellish day.

Trust in the Lord Jesus
the Son of God, and
let His spirit enter
into your heart.

And your spirit will surely
live forever, and from your
short life in this world
He will never depart.

A Most Treasured Time

As the sun goes down I anticipate
That special hour, that special time
When I will see your smiling face
As it arrives home so close to mine

For it can only be your sweet smiling face
That allows me to share its inner joy too
With a radiant glow which does begin
Deep in my heart because of you

For so lonely were the moments of my day
When your face I could no longer see
Or hear the laughter of your tender voice
As the times when you are close to me

For such a beautiful time brings its reality
Making my heart to leap with a  fervent joy
When you come home and kiss me with your smile
For it’s the treasure that I most enjoy.

"This Father's Day

I am not worthy to receive of  Your perfect love
Yet I have been blessed by Your saving grace
As I was disfigured many times by worldly sin
I am thankful for the salvation that I now taste

Not a perfect son who should receive such favor
When for my many sins I should have died
I am made humble by this love I now receive
That makes tears fall freely so deep inside

I am the example of what Your kindness can do
To one who embraces the living word they need
As before in the past I would never drink of
The living water in Your spirit which set me free

Yet still being a sinner, a true prodigal son
Who by Your grace and mercy was led to the path
I pushed forward, rising up until I came to Your door
Finding a pure forgivness that would always last

And the only words that I can express to You
Speaking from my lips in a most wholesome way
Is to tell You how blessed my world now is
To be counted Your loving son this Father's day!

"The One Who Satisfies My Needs"

You did bring me in my life full circle
To rest so serenely in your arms
You protect my entire person
So no part of me will ever suffer harm

When i am hungry Lord you feed me
And when I thirst you make me full
The life essence living within your word
Makes me to do better in all that I do

Whenever I am feeling sorry for myself
Your spirit makes my eyes to see
That there are so many others
Who do suffer much more than me

And at that moment I am empowered
To pray for all that I do see and meet
That they may come to know the love
Of the One who satisfies all my needs.
