Listen

Its the sounds all around
Can't you hear them
They whisper their stories
Each one is different
Each one is full
Take the time
Be still and listen
You might even learn
The secrets of this world
Just sit back and listen

Going For Two

So you thought I'd forget
To write number two
But this one here
Is just for you
I can write a new one
With just a simple thought
Just say a word
And I'll be bought
Phrases and songs
Go hand in hand
with every word I type
On this I can stand
Don't try to stump me
I'll write my way out
No matter the predicament
I'll lift up a shout
I'm going for number two

Prayer in the Night

In the still of the night
I cry out to You
My voice seems so meek
My tears unending
Can't You see my pain tonight
I'm hurting inside
I just want to scream
Turn and run forever
But I know You are there
And I know that You love me
So just hold me tonight
Let me know that I am ok
I can't turn from You
Because You won't turn from me
My heart is seeking Yours
And my arms are reaching for You

Bring Back

Bring back the memories
Of days perfected
Bring back the memories
Of creation unaffected
Lose all inhibition
Lose all sadness
Cling to Father
Let go of madness
Sing out in worship
Bring back the praise
Open up a book
Forgotten in these days
Feel all the love
God poured out us

God Alone

I worry not
When the weight of the world
Bares down upon my shoulders
I lean not on my own understanding
For I know God
He will lead me
I will be
His faithful servant
I will not fear
When I walk through the valley
The shadows of death
I do not tremble before
God alone do I fear
God alone do I love
God alone shall take care of me
God alone is there

Falling Star

So its been a super long time since I've actually blogged with my poetry, and I've been doing a lot of thinking in classes and my day to day activities. I've been having a hard time focusing on class work and studies. All I want is to get into what God is calling me to do. I want to dive into ministry studies so that I can get out into the world and really show who God is. But all this thinking has lead me to begin writing poems in class which makes my life easier at night because then I don't have to sit here and try and think something up. So here is the poem based a drawing of a shooting star.

When you wish upon a falling star
Your dreams go up in flames
As it crashes to the earth
It tears apart the ground
Your dreams go unheard
Never really known
So when you wish upon a star
Be sure to understand
Someone may want to know
Where your dreams
Are taking you
Wishing to be
The answer to your dreams
So don't be afraid
To let people in
Because you never know
Who may make
Your dreams come true

God Is Love

Look to the Heavens
See the glory of the Lord
Fall in love with the Maker
Who chose your every step
Lift your voices up
Speak love into this world
Raise up your arms
Worship the Lord
Show the world
Christ in you
Spread the love of God
Let every word
Bless someone
Let every song
Glorify the King
God is our Victor
God is our salvation
God is our love
