Lord, I know You're listening
My bones they are weary.
My strength almost gone.
My heart it is hurting.
Why does time take so long?
The pain closes in on me every day I arise.
I long to be rid of it.
I'm just so sick of its lies.
Oh Lord, I know You're listening.
Please show me Your truth.
Help me to believe even when I don't see the proof.
Please help me fight the war within me,
Because right now I'm just so tired.
Hold safe my deepest dreams and plans and be my heart's one desire.
Dry my tears and calm all my fears and teach me to depend on You.
No one else in this world loves me like You and always tells me what's true.

Please dry these tears.
These tears that I've been crying all these years.
Set me free from all my burdens and fears.
I want to live life now.
I know the life I've lived is wrong.
I've been trying to change for so long.
And only by Your love and grace so strong,
has my soul been redeemed.
I want to live life,
so show me how.
Because everything I have is nothing.
And everything You are is everything I need.
I feel like everything within me is broken.
But when I listen to the words You've spoken,
I know that I can be healed.
The belonging I crave You do supply,
If in You I do abide.
Oh Lord, Your love is the shelter in which I hide.

A Prayer Poem. 6-21-11
Please give me strength in this time of weakness.
Give me a warrior's heart to beat just for You.
Ignite my spirit with Your fire.
Pushing forward so I'll be found true.
Being faithful with whatever You give me,
whether it be large or small.
Still I don't need to be afraid if I fail,
for I know You'll pick me up if I fall.
Give me courage to be strong and bold.
For the prize outweighs any silver or gold.
Someday seeing You face to face.
But for now just basking in Your grace.
The depth of Your love is more than I can fathom.
Knowing You shed Your precious blood for me as a ransom.
Your sacrifice has brought life and healing to my soul.
Now Your love and peace make my heart whole.

In Your Hands
I feel helpless with each new senerio as I think it through my mind.
Never knowing what will happen at any given time.
Sometimes I forget You've got the whole world in Your hands.
Whatever the world throws in the way will be worked according to Your plans.
If You're strong enough to hold the earth up in space,
Then You're strong enough to help me through whatever I face.
You are a God of judgment and mercy, power and love.
And You proved this by sending down Your Son from above.
Your grace is so radient. Your love is so deep.
Your presence is with me through my every joy and defeat.
Your spirit calms my soul giving me peace oh so sweet.
You alone know my thoughts and answer when I call.
You know all my secrets to You I can tell them all.
Your glory surrounds me and it is divine.
Echoing loudly through space and through time.
Of You all creation testifies and sings of Your praise.
And will continue to do so for the reast of its days.
