Repent and Believe in the Gospel

Within the bounds of a blind man's sight
Over the draft of Icarus's plight
Beneath the depths of the tower's height
You still find me

I sailed all fourteen seas and souls
I built a train and stoked its coals
Hid within time's mysterious holes
You still seek me

Now I am lost in a glass frame
In panic, forgotten all, even my name
My rebellion cooled, now timid and tame
I call, "Come find me!"


God bless,

Grant me Grace

Grant me grace, O Lord
To love your law more than the world's chains
Grant me grace, my Lord
To join your suffering with my pains
Grant me grace, O Friend
To trade my vanities' time for time to pray
Grant me grace to the end
To follow along your holy way


God bless,
>P<

Every Action Plays a Song

Every action plays a song
Are we singing to the Lord?
Listen to His rhythm
Harmonize to His chord
Dance with such intensity
That nothing left is stored
With gratitude and humility
Everything's outpoured

Musical Aim

A chance to rhyme
On beat, in time
To God's composition
Is our mission

Let evil be dying
Turn the dying into the dead
The dead into nothing
Turn nothing into something
Something that is good

Hospitality

A soul hospitable in virtue and in joy
A cleansed house from sin and sorrow
A quiet temple in which to pray
A lively temple in which the spirit dwells

Gospel

What good news should I believe?
What good news should I proclaim?
That Love has come to set me free
That Peace has come to reign?
That obedience will lead me through
A world that's gone insane?
Repent my heart of foolish things
Leave my soul for God to claim



God bless,

Distraction

Basket of buzzers
Den of dings
Nest of noises
Whistles with wings
But all I want and need to be
Is listening to Him carefully

Ash Wednesday

With love we turn our faces to
The one who made us crossed
Crossed the desert 'tween man and God
Devoted to the journey's end

Art Form

In the mystery of making
Of molding and art
Forming a figure
Of what's in one's heart
A master may form with the basest of faith
A wonder of hope with a simple lathe
What could he form
If I were to hark
And offer my heart
Battered and dark
By the world's storm?
What would my master form?

God bless,

Faithful Obedience

Faithfulness like a brick
Hardening under the sun
Hardening with patient stillness
Listening to the Son

Obedience like a twig
On a branch, on a tree
Dancing to the breath of God
Joyful at being free

Away and Here

Away the winds calls
To the edge beyond the known
Cajoling faeries whisper
Travel there alone
Away from home and hearth
Goes their glittered tone
But if I leave my fam'ly
To whom should I atone
If not amongst love shown?


God bless,
>P<

Silver Tongue, Golden Pitch

As a party to the song
A small melodic voice
Melds into the muse
A truly modest choice
Small yet strong
Mild yet bold
Not adding to the noise
Keeping the tune as gold

Sacrifice

A sacrifice of blood
A sacrifice of living
Purifying mud
With generous giving
Of grace and hope
In a world of doom
Wisdom to elope
With the perfect groom

Stone Heart

A crack in the stone of my soul
The quartz stops its beat
The gears stop their feet
The chime refuses to toll

Behold the man on the tree
Who gives to the mud
His breath and His blood
So the dead may live and be free


God bless,

Dry Land

Underwater broken hulls remain
Wet
Dryly stating the obvious?
You bet.
