Poems

From the pages and chapters of my own story
I can see the greatness of my God’s glory
It creates a book that lets me know I’m worthy
Even though I know sometimes I’m earthly

A story to share of my testimony
Of times in my life when things were dark or lonely
Then came the breakthrough of light from the One who is truly holy
Brightening the pages so that I'm no longer lowly

All the glory for my story belongs to You
My heart is full with so much gratitude
Thankful for how my story has evolved
Now realizing that you were always in charge

From the time I was born to the breath I just breathed
My God you are so awesome it brings me to my knees
To you I will forever be grateful for it all
My testimony I will share so that others may answer your call

Trying to find the word to describe these emotions
Is like trying to swim across an ocean
Both are too hard and too vast.

No one can see the pain that you face
Because your mind can't feel the grace
Of God's warm embrace.

So choose to believe in the One who sees
When He calls you by name
All these things will change
They will never be the same.

Because this season’s temporary
No matter what burden you carry

Take heart and receive
The grace that relieves

Through our Savior who carried our troubles to Calvary

When I don’t see what You see
Lord you see me
My dreams make me
They make me look up to Thee

You allowed my eyes to see
Your promotion upon me
And every dream that came through for me
That’s why I look up to Thee

In the joy I clearly see
I see You always love me
Because dreaming isn’t just for me
That’s why I trust in Thee

Your favor is what I see
I know You believed in me
You are still doing a work in me
I am made whole through Thee

Now I can clearly see
I can clearly see how You see me
Every prayer You answered for me
Has drawn me to Thee

An immaculate child was born to carry on a legacy
He carry the cross on his shoulder for me
Wonderful is our Counselor
To the Mighty God we glee
Thank you Everlasting Father
Who also is the Prince of Peace

Thank you Lord Jesus!

We look to the Heavens
To see God display
The glory of His hands
Bright and new everyday

God looks down from a cloud
To see the work of our hands
So lets make Him proud
He gives us this chance

So walk in the light
For the sake of your soul
All will be alright
Through His mercy of old

As you live out your dream
Open your heart and believe
He holds to your hand
Because His grace will not leave

Although I didn't ask the question
Yet God provided me with an answer
So, I never had to question
Why the door was opened

Another time I asked and found no answer
Was I seeking after the wrong question
Will He provide the answer?
Yes, when I ask the right questions

Wrong Question: Why me?
Right: How to I break free?

Wrong Question: When will it happen?
Right Question: How should I prepare?

Wrong Question: Where should I go?
Right Question: Where are You leading me?

No matter what becomes of my day
I find rest in Your peace
Even in the sleepless nights
I have to realize there is rest in Your peace
Through the ups and downs in life
I seek the rest that comes through Your peace
When decisions must be made
I pray the decision brings me rest through Your peace
Every moment of my life can be filled with the rest that comes with Your peace

In a subterranean vault
My life suddenly came to a halt
In the darkness while it was day
Your presence made a way
Although hope seemed distant
My prayers became insistent
The fear became my issue
No one around to provide a tissue
For problems that had an expiration
Which lead to my elevation
The moment I felt Your presence

With a sincere heart
God loved us from the start
Through our faithful zeal
By Jesus we make our appeal
We are faithfully devoted
And our prayers are noted
We could never repay
The glory of each day
That is reality
So share hospitality

Our Father sent His Son to earth to save a father.
That father raised a son,
That son became a father,
That loves the Father.
