IS

Is my life a better one
When I am in control
Calling You as substitute
When all around me falls
Am I very ignorant
To disregard Your part
Knowing that my apathy
Is breaking Your sweet heart
Does my love of worldly ways
Prevent my growth with You
All Your treasures lay unclaimed
‘Cause poverty I view
If only I would seek the truth
And take You at [...]

TRAIN

In platform one there stands a train
It calls at every station
Takes it’s time along the track
Enjoying it’s duration
The driver is an expert
He’s taken years to learn
His knowledge stands him in good stead
Knows every twist and turn.
In platform two another train
It is a sleek express
Only stops at major stations
Dying to impress
When it gets to where it’s [...]

HOW

How can I tell You how good I feel
Knowing that my walk with You is real
No longer having to strive and strain
I can relax in Your cleansing rain
Washing me daily of worldly grime
Arms reaching out for that special time
Spent with One who has given all
My strong support whenever I fall
Oh how I long to see [...]

I WONDER

I wonder why it’s taken me
So long to  see the truth
That while The Lord’s been pruning me
I’ve acted all aloof
Now it’s time for surgery
A great big manky root
Must be removed from deep inside
To make way for my fruit.
It’s taken years for me to reach
The point of no return
I’ve reached the stage, despite my age
Obedience I [...]

FLEECE

I lay my life out as a fleece
To catch Your precious dew
And let it soak into the parts
That are devoid of You
For I am still so insular
An island out to sea
Come and land upon the rock
That is my heart to thee.
Here I am Lord, I’ve expired
There is no fight in me
I come as gently as [...]

RESOLUTION

I’ve made a resolution
I think you’ll be impressed
I’m going to take a step of faith
And slowly get undressed
Removing things that I’ve accrued
The baggage I’ve amassed
The trappings gained from sources wide
The weight of which is vast.
Underneath this bulging mass
There lies a simple soul
Simple walk, a simple faith
That’s always been my goal
I’ve tried to do it many [...]

EMPOWER ME

Empower me Lord, to do the things
That You want me to do
Provide for me the vision, Lord
That has been birthed in You
For only something in Your will
Can stand the test of time
So make me absolutely sure
That both our visions rhyme.
Show me what You want of me
Your guidance is the best
Glimpses of a path to tread
I [...]

DOOR

When  you  asked  The Lord  to  stay
You  left  Him  in  the  hall
And  got  on  with  your  busy  life
Not  bothering  Him  at  all
Then  suddenly  you  opened  up
A  door  and  let  Him  in
You  let  a  stronghold  of  your  life
Be  cleansed  of  fear  and  sin.
But  still  you  kept  things  to  yourself
Afraid  to  let  them  go
And  even  though  they  [...]

HALLWAY

He sits in the hallway, a vigil to keep
Waits for a call, but there’s never a peep
Nothing is moving, not even a mouse
Why was He invited, into this house
Windows dirty, doors tight shut
Decaying air a knife could cut
When is their journey going to begin
Or is the devil going to win.
Only they can choose to fight
Defeating [...]

CRY FOR HELP

Here I sit inside my cell
Imprisoned by my mind
The world goes by without my help
It manages, I find
The dark and dingy place I live
Brings comfort to my soul
For I am safe inside my tower
My non demanding hole.
Created by almighty God
We’ve kept apart, so far
I know He’d like to call me son
But I’m locked in my [...]
