Every Thing


Every Thing

You are there
You fill the skies
The very air
Every breath
Every step
I take

Every heartbeat
Rings, soars
With Your Name
Oh,
How I wish
Pray
For everyone
It could
Be the same!

You wish such joy
To give
To every soul's
Existence
Longing to fill
Expel
Drive out
Cease
Desist
Between us
Any more distance

So give God,
Christ
His Holy Spirit
Your Every Thing
And
He will do
The Very Same
For you!

Of You


Of You



More of You

And less of me

Less of the angers

The hatreds

The greed



To empty myself

Of all worldly lusts

Waging war

Themselves

Into my heart,

Battling,

They thrust



With their painful swords

They slice

Fighting to cut

heaven's cords

But your hands

With Your love's power

Your strength,

They shower



Your fingers

Around my soul


Entwined

Reaching deep


No satanic, hellish

Demons

Can ever reach



So that is why

Every day

I must repeat

As I work, play

Walk or sleep

Not I but You

In me that lives

My salvation

Dear Christ

You protect

And into eternity


You keep!

A Part Of. . . .

A Part Of

Like I was created to be
A part of your great group
Your Holy Trinity!
A smaller part
As I bend down
Worship at your knees

A gift to be like You 
Should that not
My worldly values askew?
A world out of balance
So out of its mind
Tumbling along on a very thin line

Not even your angels
Did You die for
Over us Your Spirit’s healing
Did You wish to pour
To enable, re-birth
Through all the light
& darkness of this universe,
Along its massive girth

No one thing and no one else
Did You create to reflect
The goodness of Yourself
Only us!
Thank you, Dear Lord
In You only 
May I completely trust!
