PRAISE AND WORSHIP POEMS

'MORNING-SONG PRAISE'

This morning, I saw tree branches

With lush leaves

Sweep skyward

‘Till it seemed as though

All in unison had been lifted

By the wind

In praise to Thee

Thank you, Lord

For the peace and quiet

Of your gentle Spirit

For the enormity of Your love

And for the joy of Your sweet presence

Thank You for Your voice that whispers, “Come unto Me.”

'WINTER STATEMENT'

                            

Ice-covered branches 
Drenched in frost
 Dripping in daybreak
  Presiding against a backdrop
 Of  Tchaikovsky's Waltz

I marvel at your Winter Statement, Lord

At Your Winter Statement
 Of Sight and of Sound 

And of the Great I Am!
             This morning, in humble gratitude             
              I Praise You!

'NIGHT IN SPRING'

I'm here Lord, with You this starry night

Listening to the ocean roar

Watching white waves emerge, mammoth

Then quiet....

Flowing, as it were, toward the sand, to sleep

I'm surrounded by Your greatness, Lord

This vast sea before me

The moon wanting only to remain in this moment

The wind caressing me gently...

In awe, I stand before you

Creator of heaven and earth!

'LISTEN TO THE QUIET'

A poem of peace and God’s quiet assurance

Listen to the Quiet

I love this moment in time

Weeping willows dancing in sweet abandon

Against an azure sky

Tomorrow will wait

An oriole walks on the grass to my porch and chirps a song

Written just for me - This moment knows no sorrow

Raindrops glide down my face and

Hush speaks sleep to the pond

Listen to the sweet, sweet sound of silence –

  

No cares -  No Strife

Not here

During this moment of quiet splendor...

Only Jesus - only sunshine - only cool, cool water

 Sunshine and dew drops and peace....

At this moment in time...

Listen to the Quiet

He is everywhere.

     'i asked, he answered'

                      Song lyrics of thanksgiving and praise            

.

I asked, He answered

I sought, I found

I knocked and the door

Opened wide for me

I asked, He answered

I sought, I found

His mercy is limitless

His faithfulness ever abounds

John 4:14

…but whosoever shall drink of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst again; this water shall be a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
