250222 You Still...

 You Still...

Though Lord, I grumble and complain
You still send manna down like rain
Taking care of my earthly need
Mere sustenance, you far exceed

And though your laws I disobey
You still are merciful each day 
Slow to anger; patiently
Your guidance always teaches me

Though different faces I display 
You still are the same every day 
A steadfast love that never ends
A love on which my life depends 

In spite of living selfishly
You still say that you adore me
You've looked upon me, and you've smiled
For you call me your precious child

Can be unloving in my ways
Yet, you still love me anyway 
A love so deep, and high, and wide
Pure love that cannot be denied

Though sins can come with highest stakes
You still forgive me my mistakes 
I come to you as a disgrace
Yet, you provide mercy and grace

Though, from your presence, run away
You still pursue me every day
Retrieving me when I am lost
While your Son paid the total cost

At times when your voice I don't hear
You still whisper into my ear
Your Spirit speaking to my heart
Your wisdom, guidance to impart 

Although this world Satan may own
You still are sitting on the throne
For now, judgement has been deferred
You still shall have the final word

You still are my Lord and my King
You still reign over everything 
You still are author of world's story
You still deserve all praise and glory

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
