Lost at Sea

Loneliness fills the boat,
A sense of dread sinks in,
No land for miles,
The sky, an empty void.
Then comes a single cloud,
A sign of the heavens,
Yet it floats on by,
Take me with you cloud! Please!
The sun begins to set,
Darkness is coming quick,
But stars shine above,
Reflecting off water.
Something from long ago,
A provision set up,
Formed years apart,
And yet they shine for me.
I awake the next day,
Still stuck, trapped and static,
But soon to be worse,
A storm chases me down.
My strength leaves my body,
The devil whispers, but…
The stars are a sign,
I begin to praise You.
The waves try to take me,
They try to steal me,
Grasp me tight my Lord,
I put my trust in You.
The waves grow in anger,
They aim to distract me,
I cling to your Word
I rest in Your promise.
Help comes when I need it,
You calm me in the storm,
Jesus, my lighthouse,
You save me from the dark.
Father, my life jacket,
To float in rising tides,
The Spirit - compass,
You guide me through my life.
I know the whole truth, Lord,
I can see the hard facts,
When I’m lost at Sea,
My hope resides in You.

Ceremony

My dear bride groom, As You prepare our banquet, I ask, take charge of my house, Run it with Your grace. I lovingly display, These windows for Your judgement, Let Your mercy shine through them, That they may be cleansed. I submit to Your light, Renew my heart to softness, Smooth over the sharp edges, So it absorbs hate. I am but a servant, I take You, as my only God, A declaration to hold, from this day forward. I am devoted to You, for the better or the worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and health. You have me to hold You,  To cherish You when I’m blessed, To praise You in the valley, Death cannot part us.

My Mountain

My God, seated upon the highest mountain, A monument from the foundation you laid, You are my rock, a towering fortress in the sky, Where clouds engulf the earth. I flee to you for safety, A fortified position of strength, Where only the wise will tread, Your aura can be felt for miles. Fleeting winds surround You, My enemies dare not come near, You bring a thunderous wrath, An echoing shout rumbling through valleys. Yet for me, Your summit calmly rains down blessings, Life giving water springs growth around, Soaking through for firm roots, Flowing in my veins, up to my heart. Come with me Lord, Let’s take this love wherever we go, Like the tabernacle set on Jerusalem, You are  the mountain in me.

Bountiful God

Lord, Spring forth well water, Fill my cup with Your grace, Let it overflow, Always everlasting. Lift my great burden, Come let my shackles break, Freedom from my sin, By your great sacrifice. Now I see the truth, In Your fruitful meadows, The golden fields, A season of new life. You water the ground, You shine in the valley, You care for nature, And clothe me in splendor.
