LOVE POEMS TO THE LORD

ONE

Hear Oh Israel
The Lord our God
The Lord is One

Holy One

Wonderful One

Almighty One

Glorious One

Hear Oh Lord my cry to Thee
out of the many that war within me

Make me One
with Thee

MY GOD

My God
Rocks the hills with His thunder

My God
Pounds the shore with His might

My God
Hurled the stars through the heavens

And my God
Walked the Earth as a child


(Hundreds of Glorious)
ANGELS SANG

Angels sang
as you crossed ore from heaven

Angels sang
as you came to set free

Angels sang
as you brought to us your Life

Angels sang
that in you
we might Be


PEACE

The softness of the presence
Which caresses like a warm breeze
sustains in times of trial
soothes with a gentle hand

Not the ecstasy of joy
neither the desert of absence

But the peace which passes all understanding

You are with me
and I can smile upon this life

BLOOM

When we come to You we bloom
Like a bud in the springtime of the year
Like a rose in the summer of its life
We lift from in the Earth to meet the Light
And we are no more what we were
But part of You

LEAD ME

Thou art All holy, Oh my Lord

Lead me to give to You
in my brother
Lead me to serve You
In my brother
Lead me to love You
In my brother

Thou art all in all, Oh my Lord
Lead me

YOU

My times are in your hands
And all my days in your keeping

You lift my feet from the stone
And take my hand in the darkness

Your meadows and woods are mine
And your waters flow through my heart

You are the glory and the love
of all Eternity
And I belong to You forever



You wash my feet with your love
and my soul with your spirit



LORD OF GLORY

Lord of Glory
You shine through the dark
Shine in that secret place
Shine in our heart

Lord of Glory
You breathe out your love
Breathe on our spirits Life
Breathe on our souls

Lord of Glory
You caress us within
And we are in You, my Lord
And You are in Him

QUITE TIME

The pleasures and cares of this world
Must not be allowed to take

The quite time
The quite time
The quite time
With You

I know You thru the wonder of your world
and thirst for more

I sing to You your praises
And You fill me with your love

I soar to meet your glory
and fall before your presence

The quite time
The quite time
The quite time




YOU MADE ME

You made me

I saw You form me from the clay
And stoop to stand me on my feet
And then stayed there being close
To help me walk with You

How could I not trust You


GOD

God is a name
We use to identify You

As if to describe
A species set apart

But the essence of your being
Absolute purity in all your parts

What You are in all your Glory
Gentle, patient, peaceful, loving

Make You only in all creation
Worthy of worship and devotion

And so I fall before your brilliance
In adoration of your Being

And call You humbly from within me
What You are – in truth
My God

Lead me

Prune me

Use me

Take me

CLEAVE

Cleave to Me
And I will never leave you

Cleave to Me
And I will show you love

Cleave to Me
And I will fill you with Me

Cleave to me
And I will bring you home



HALLELUJAH
(praise the Lord)

Hallelujah to Thee, my Lord
Hallelujah to Thee, my king

That Thou would show us
Thy self
That Thou would show us
Thy Name

Hallelujah to Thee, my Lord
Hallelujah to Thee, my King

That Thou, Holy God
Thou Almighty
Would walk this day
with me



TOUCH YOU

I feel You
in the things within your world

The gurgle of a brook
and a mighty ocean wave

The scent of a rose
and its touch upon my face

The mighty mountain’s proclamation
to the endless sky

A wise old tree where I can lean
and feel your love lift high

I hold your hand
as I travel through this life

And touch You
in the things within your world



TRUST

You bade me to ask
For more trust of Thee

Then You gave me to trust
To set me free



KEYS

Would that I
Could see life thru your eyes
All that’s best in every situation

Would that I
Could think on thoughts as you
Gentle, humble, patient in reflection

Would that I
Could feel as your heart teaches
Joy and peace and love for all mankind

Then could I
Live fully in your kingdom
By your Grace and Spirit
Let it be


GUARDIAN

There is no need
to fear from the enemy

There is no need
to hide in the dark

There is no need to
cower in corners

There is no need
because He does hark

The Lord is my strength
He is my shield

The Lord does battle
By the glory of his Name

The Lord is my Light
He is my Guardian

He frees me by the promise
that He will never leave


TAKE ME

Take me
and fill me with Thy spirit

Take me
and shape me with Thy love

Take me
and make all that You will

No thought
No wish
No breath in life
But yours


CROSS

The winds howl
and the rains beat down
and temptation opens
to swallow my Life

To the cross I flee
anchored to it in hope
To Thy power I cling
waiting Thy grace and love

And the winds calm
and the sea in me stills
and Easter comes up
in the Light of Thy face


STILLNESS

Thou be Holy
and at Thy feet we fall

For we are flesh
and we are sinful men

But Thou lift us
in arms of sparkling Glory

And carry us
to a place we could not go

A place
to be with Thee in stillness

Breathless
Timeless
Gentleness
And Light


ONLY YOU


Only You
can give me courage

Only You
can make me stand

Only You
can draw me to You

and Only You
take me to Him

PLEASE

Please
Just You
take away the wants and wishes

Please
Just You
take away the fears and doubts

Please
Just You
take away all of the anger

Please
Just You
take my heart
for all times
Now

FAITH

A caterpillar is touched
and yearns to fly to you

Yet You force it not
nor spin it the cocoon

Does it ever think
to crash out and turn back?

Or fear that You
can really change it hence?

Help me to soar
wrapped in the arms of faith

Till You can make me
as You would have me be

OUT OF YOU

Out of You is Light
and that is where the Life is

Out of You is Faith
which grows the more we see

Out of You Is Grace
that covers and protects us

Out of You is Hope
by which we come to Be

You are the Love:
where You dwell
what You do
who You are

Bring us To Be like You
to see and feel and touch You

United with You in Life
as true and pure as You

Draw us, draw us onward
to be with You, and live to You

To be pleasing to You forever
when we see You as You Are

WITH YOU

When You touch me
all else recedes

This place
this time
this life

I am with You alone
once more
whenever You draw near

It is my joy
this time with You

It is my breath
and being

Cleanse me, refine me
to purity

That I may never leave
the Union




THY WILL, NOT MINE

Thy Will
not mine
is a place to take my cares

Thy Will
not mine
is a place to leave my wants

Thy Will
not mine
is a place to lay my head down

Thy Will
not mine
is a place to leave my life
(Obedient)
AWE

You asked if I wished
to walk right before You

And wakened me up
to what life could be

Each step directed
my eyes as yours see

Breath stopping
Awestruck
Poured out to Thee

REPENTANCE
(and remission of sins)

Repent-
said He
for you have wounded you
Repent-
said He
for you have wounded Me

Repent-
said He
and I will reveal your self
Repent-
said He
and I will reveal Me

Repent-
said He
and I will cleanse your sin
and I will break your bondage
and I will free your soul

Repent-
said He
and I will draw you to Me
Repent-
said He
and I will draw near you

Repent-
said He
and I will take your hand
Repent-
said He
and I will make you Love

Repent-
said He
and I will bring the Kingdom
and I will bring my fruits
and I will bring the new man

Repent-
said He
and I will show my glory
Repent-
said He
and I will make us One
