His Holy Presence

The Lord is with me, I shall not fear,
His Holy presence will help me hear,
That God is faithful, good and true,
And in Jesus Christ, I am brand new.
I need not worry, fret or make haste,
‘cause in God’s goodness, I rest in His grace.
Christ is my Provider. He will show me the way,
As I celebrate Jesus and rejoice in Him today.

Ode to Moore, Oklahoma

The rain has left, the wind is gone,
The thunder ceased its roar,
The lightening fled, the dark clouds passed,
Tornadoes are no more.


We are aghast at just how fast,
Destruction hit the town,
Every home, and every school,
Is lying on the ground.


Hearts are crying, people are sighing,
Where did the children go?
When the tornado struck, some got stuck,
Will parents ever know?


There is a sound, some have been found,
Rescuers set them free…
A sign of hope, bring out more rope,
Pull rubble away to see…


That man must rise above the lies,
And know there is a plan.
That God does care, He’s everywhere,
And He’ll restore the land.


For earth does groan, and sets a tone,
With destruction in its veins,
Waiting for man to inherit the land,
To walk in authority to reign.


“Peace to the earth,” we need to shout.
“Peace to our thoughts and our words,
Peace to our neighbors, ourselves, our friends,
Harmony in one accord.”


Rise above the perilous earth,
Be seated with Christ the King,
Receive His love and bring it back,
So all the earth can sing.

Huge Rainbow Poem

A huge rainbow graced the sky,
Why is it there? I don’t know why!
We had no rain, no thunder, no storm,
But outside it’s humid, and the air is warm.
So where did it come from? Why did it form?
What caused it to appear? Where was it born?
It must be a gift for all of us to see,
That Christ sends His blessings! Let us shout with glee!

From Chaos to His Voice

Your Voice, O Lord God, is like the songbirds singing outside my window – soft, soothing, melodious, and beautiful. I want to tune into your Voice, but the far-away traffic zooming down the highway keeps drowning out the sweet music. I strain my ears to hear better. A helicopter flies overhead. It’s droning noise overpowers the melody of the birds.

Stop, O man-made noises. Stop taking precedence over the music of God’s creation. I want to hear nature sing HIS praises. I want to join in. I want to hear the songs of Heaven and Christ’s Voice singing into my heart.

Lord Jesus, let the sounds of Your Kingdom overpower what my ears hear. May the songs that You sing be heard in my heart. May the sounds that flows out of my mouth, be a blessing to Your Ears.

The helicopter flies away. One bird moves closer to my window. Nature’s music breaks through the chaos of the rushing world of commuters heading off to work. I listen to the bird’s loud, cheerful music. Joy fills my heart. When the bird finishes its song, I close the window and listen for Gods’ Voice.
