Unstop The Wells!

A loud cry
comes forth from the sky,
UNSTOP THE WELLS!
Just believe that
this is the start
of your miracles…
Throw up your hands
and rejoice in bounds
now is the time…
A voice of authority
giving top priority
UNSTOP THE WELLS!!!

Lord, send forth Your deluge...
Come and tabernacle with us in this new season!

Peace

I felt the tug
on my heart
and the gentle
whisper,
of the Holy Spirit
urging me to
let go...
and let God...
so I put the wheel
into His hands
and let Him steer
me to a quiet shore
called peace.


This poem I wrote in March 1995 is what came to mind after the news of the Virginia Tech massacre broke.

Tear Through the Veil

Boundless feelings
Eternal depths
Searching for the meaning
Seeking and standing
Yet stumbling through
To see stabs of light
Through the dimness
Coloring outside the lines
in a desperate attempt
to see the big picture
Pushing aside the hills of thought
and mountains of need
Just to focus on You
Just to see Your face
Just to hold Your hand
as I tear through the veil
and fall before You
I love You deeply

Fullness of Time

All my waiting
has not been in vain
a lot of praying
and not without pain,
hoping and trusting
in Jesus my Lord
watching and fasting
while the enemy roared,
now that I know
the end is in sight
soon it will show
manifestations of light,
when it comes forth
it won't be sublime
they will be birthed
in the fullness of time...

Worship

His presence is near,
here,
beside me clearly
on my knees,
I see His awesomeness
in the reverence of prayer,
I touch His beauty
in the purity of praise,
I behold His majesty
and nothing prepares me
for the fullness of His grace,
face to face....
in worship.
