In my despair you share
Great lessons in lessening light
When worry is all that i do
You empty Your Love
So to fill my soul full
That i may have eyes behind eyes i pray
That the womb of my heart
hears You clearly say.
I AM
Beloved
I AM
Word
I AM
Love lightly
spinning this world
Forest filled Breezes
Feathering Breath
I AM
sweetening Promise
Delight-full darkness.
When I think on the thoughts around Godliness
Confusion can block me I confess
Unseeing belief is good for me I guess
But I don’t feel fine when my life’s a mess
God beyond my understanding
Personal, abstract or no name at all
Be my sweet DNA, ground my being
Love me completely, enlighten my way
Discretely please guide me so that I may
Fall, fall into Your opening arms
Fall, fall right down upon these knees
Call, call out now for Your loving balm
Restore me, renew me so I receive
You are the Name above all names
You are the word beyond my lone voice
You hear what I need before I say
You chose to bequeath me my own choice
For You are the luminous great I AM
You shine Your light upon everything
Even when we choose to walk alone
You patiently wait to guide us back home
Yes you are patiently waiting to guide us home.
I am too full of me, Lord
Let fleet thoughts flee their Guest
Wash surfacing desire within
internal soft caress
Grow such sweet deep sanctuary
In garden temple view
So spring time blooms abundantly
In all I say and do
Drinking in the lite life
Checking out for a life time
Holding on for the right vibe
Searching happiness and peace on-line
Mesmerising myself again
Within a moments consolation
Building longer loss upon an instant gain
Drowning with anticipation
And we say:
Please hold on within your strife
But dont let yourself be held by it
Walk bold and free within your life
But don’t stamp your foolish pride on it
Don’t grasp the wrong away from right
Judge and jury of folks behaviour
Be guided by His strong tower light
As you wade in these seas with your saviour
Wading in the watering
Surfing waves that surely quenches
Satisfying thirstfulness again
Immersing well beyond our senses.

spreading laced veils before us
we smile and cry through our strife
mourning, while weal’s keep on turning
salt weaving the woundings of life.

borne high we stoop low for a season
to carry the wrong with the right
we weigh every load upon reason
just like beasts in the burden of night.

yet spirits smile silent upon us
sweet fragrances sent in the sky
even tides sway to know moonlight
ravines weep down steep mountainside.

eagles charm Light with their feathering
angel wings balm every soar
Love reigns to sooth with Her weathering
Life water flows deep in our core.
