HEART’S DELIGHT
Quietly sat, rapt attention, Connection’s joy, His expression! To see His face, and hear His heart, Such rich delight, never depart. (Luke 10:38-42)

Is There a Love?
Oh, can it be, a love, that conquers death and fear? A love that transforms us? A love that’s always near? A love that surrounds us? A love that never leaves? A love upholding us? A love, that with us grieves? A love that shines on truth, that conquers our darkness? Love that finds…
ASPIRATIONS
When I hate my sin more than my pain, And love what I give more than what I gain. When I value sacrifice more than “success,” And how I serve more than how to impress. When I value faithfulness more than fame, My reputation more than the hearing my name. When I…

DESERT
We live in a desert, desert sand all around, So little life, so hot, in this heat will I “drown”? Parched, bone dry and weary, where is water to drink? Where is an oasis? In these dunes will I sink? The heat so oppressive, beating down, a furnace, The sun so relentless, much of…
