path to heaven - winter

my path to heaven began –

light through a window

my eyes are raised

my heart is drawn

there is more than me –

there has to be…

answers stream

comfort beams

for all the children

belong to God

He has come to redeem.

Jesus called the children to him and said,

 "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,

for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."

Luke 18:16

circumstance comes to dance - winter

You've given me voice

how can I not rejoice?

Circumstance

comes to dance

through the pen

so praise

may rise again

from either thought 

or situation

Your desire

be my dictation. 

Amen

where I've stood - winter

where I've stood

and where I stand

footprints left upon the sand

where with the tide be swept away

and never known a later day

but where I land is solid ground

the light of Jesus all around

and in the end no feet

can leave

no greater mark

than the Eternal

to Whom I cleave

sweep over me sweet Jesus - winter

begin sweet Jesus

to sweep over me

like the changing of the seasons

like the waves upon the sea

move through my emotions

You will bring

the newness of Your saving grace

the freshness of a spring

come to us 

though we be still

and carry us

into Your will

taken away

with loving care

swept up in Your Spirit

my deliverance

there 

We'll never be out of His care - winter

In the season of changes

we may feel neither here nor there,

looking for meaning as life rearranges

in ways that we hadn't prepared.

This is when faith is a constant companion

and the Lord keeps our souls aware

that He's always leading us by the hand

and we'll never be out of His care.
