Sackcloth and Ashes
February 21, 2014
America, America
How we need to sit
In sack cloth and ashes
Uncovering our sin
Sins of us all
From great to small
It matters to God
How our country did fall
Whether by silence
Or outright by sin
We’re in this together
Repentance can mend
Have we forgotten
What our forefathers bore
The wounds and the scars
So freedom could soar
And where are the churches
Calling it sin
Demanding an account
For deeds done within
Lawlessness reigns
Because we’ve sat back
Refusing to engage
Be on the attack

LONGING HEART – POETRY
January 11, 2019
You are my bread, my life, my song
With you alone, does my heart belong
Deep within me calls to deep
Draw me close Lord, Your heart to meet
You are the great I AM
Take me Lord into Your hand
Mold me into Your heart of grace
Until I look and can see Your face
You are my bread, my life, my song
With you alone, does my heart belong
Deep within me calls to deep
Draw me close Lord, Your heart to meet
Breathing deeply, I feel You near
I will sit quietly, Your voice to hear
Waiting until the break of day
When I know what You’re saying, I will obey
You are my bread, my life, my song
With you alone, does my heart belong
Deep within me calls to deep
Draw me close Lord, Your heart to meet
Into Your image I will be drawn
Though the process painful, the days are long
I know that You have a plan for me
To be like Your Son, my heart set free
You are my bread, my life, my song
With you alone, does my heart belong
Deep within me calls to deep
Draw me close Lord, Your heart to meet
