Whose am I?

Should I fall to Hell, I praise Him for His Justice
Should I be raised to Heaven, I praise Him for His Mercy
Should I be formed, I praise Him for His Truth
Should I see, I praise Him for His Beauty
Should I pray, I praise Him for His Love
Should I act, I praise Him for His Glory
All glory is His, all glory is His, all glory is His
I am Christ’s


God bless,

Free for Free

What is the price for liberty?
Can it be got except from a tree?
Given to those gifted with eyes to see
His heart wide open eternally

Code and Honor

Friends, joining swords against the beast
Cheers, joining beers amid a feast
Champions of greatest and of least
Three Musketeers

Temple

Fruitless is the tongue that speaks yet says nothing
Boundless is the Word in silence spoken
Bless my ears to hear only the angels singing
Bless my heart to keep only the Divine enshrined within


God bless,

Home

Surrounded by foes
I calmly enjoy the meal
Bread broken and wine

Shake Shake Shake

My very shaky soul
Shaky as a lost lamb's leg
Fearful enough to beg
To be made whole



God bless,

Winter Fog

Headlight haze
Fog and snow
Cold ablaze
Heart beats low

Wooden Eyes

Along the grains of wooden eyes
Hear the strains of deadened lies
Against the overflowing grace
Tears pour down the Savior's face

Guardian

Sift the foolish and the wise
Let the yeast to rest and rise
Hark to the desperate blessing cries
Of the lost sheep

Flit & Fret

Washed out memories
Psychedelic dreams
Distracting realities
Cover gold that doesn't gleam

Unequal

Can it even be called unequal?
Can a soul be called inadequate?
With a difference as great as a pit bull
Compared to the gravitational constant?
Greater still the difference from me
To the realm of heaven, to thee
"No longer slave, but friend," thy call
To a clod of dirt who does thy will
Raised up from under the fall
Graced to stand in thy presence, still



God bless,

Anew

Start anew
With the blood
Of the one
Who is God
Flowing water
Share His death
Share His rising
Share His breath

Simple Trust

Simple trust in a holy place
I bend the knee and ask for grace

Wonder in the Silent Steps

Wonder in the silent steps
Of snowflake tossed in tender breeze
Flitting branches of sleeping trees
Star song sparkles in the depths

Grateful for the eternity
Shared in moments much like these
And in the crackers, wine, and cheese
A feast of friends and family

Cracks can heal, total, whole
Sins forgiven by the blood
Virtues learned by a weary soul
Weary of the worldly mud
et called by wonder, breath took, stole
And in my temple, your graceful bud



God bless,
>P<

Easy Lies

How easy for lies to cloud my head
A foolish lamb playing in the devil's time
Off a cliff that no mortal could e'er climb
My soul so wounded, despairing as if dead
A star should shine with such divine dread
Revealing the scars my sins upon me have beat
Mere cobwebs acting stronger than concrete
Your light's force lifts my eyes, instead to thee
Where wise men have gone, with gifts, to see
A simple haven, a place to break the bread


God bless,
>P<

Wisdom

Wisdom be my ruler
Wisdom be my guide
Wisdom be my lover
Wisdom be light at my side
Wisdom be my healer
Wisdom be my ride

Seek & Find

Seeking water in the desert
Seeking grace amongst the kings
Seeking peace amid the battles
Seeking silence in beeps and rings

Yet I know that the wise were seeking
And found in the humblest of things
The lowly shepherds found him first
The little baby who quenches thirst
And in Mary's heart she kept these things


God bless,

Watching Us Men

Watch our fears and keep our hopes
Watch our steps for one more journey
In your heart let us ponder
Upon your Son's grace and mercy
Sweet Mary, Mother, hold us close
Keep us with you at Calvary


God bless,
