Poetry

I will have to admit, I have been writing poetry lately, but it's been so deep and personal I haven't been willing to publish it. God has been doing some deep things in me. I hope you enjoy this song until I'm ready to share again! Blessings!

I Will Wait

Jesus, the lover of my soul
The one who's in control, when all the world fails me.
Jesus, the one who draws me near, whose voice I long to hear.
The One who is in me.
On You who calms the seas, on You who loves to speak to me.
On You, I will wait, patiently.
I will wait, I'll wait to hear Your voice
In the midst of this noise.
You're all I want to hear God.
And I will wait, as long as it takes
For the silence to break
You're all I want to hear God
Jesus, the lover of my soul
The one who's in control, when all the world fails me.
Jesus, the one who drawls me near, whose voice I long to hear.
The One who is in me.
On You who calms the seas, on You who loves to speak to me.
On You, I will wait, patiently.
I will wait, I'll wait to hear You voice
In the midst of this noise.
You're all I want to hear God.
And I will wait, as long as it takes
For the silence to break
You're all I want to hear God
On You who calms the seas, on You who loves to speak to me.
On You, I will wait, patiently

Hold Out My Heart

I can’t hold back.

I must love them all,

Must love them deeply without reservation.

They know if I’m hiding behind self-preservation,

And pseudo-love cannot save a nation.

I can’t hold back.

I must hold out my heart,

Even if it swells with so much love

It nearly falls apart.

Door of My Heart

A heart with ends twisted in all directions -

Friends and faces in all sorts of places.

Door of my heart, swing wide

To encompass yet again

That broad, Navajo sky.

Door of my heart, swing wide

Like outstretched arms

And wrap the Diné up inside.

The Word that Shakes

So hungry to speak a word to you

That bright, like burning flame at night,

Shakes the soul’s foundations,

Removes the falsities, the misconceptions -
That rebuilds your heart upon pillars of verity.

I Wanna Be the Good Soil

A sermon in a song... yes... amen!

Back to Life

39 women walked from the Western hemisphere's largest abortion clinic in Houston, TX to the Courthouse in Dallas, TX, each woman representing one of the 39 years that abortion has been legal in the United States. Many of the women were post-abortive or survivors of abortion. They prayed for the ending of abortion on their entire journey. When they arrived at the Dallas Courthouse in downtown Dallas, they met with thousands of other women who came to attend a prayer meeting called the Esthercall. On Good Friday, April 6th (also my birthday!), we took communion before the same courthouse where abortion was legalized in the United States, and we asked God to end abortion in this nation.
