Hearts in the tin – v2

hearts in the tin,
in the pattern of clover,
luck, love, shining,
watching over us
a story written,
hammered in the ceiling,
in the wall of tin
intricate patterns
Father, Son, and Spirit
joined with us,
hearts in the tin
in the pattern of clover
hearts in the ceiling
watching over us

Written on our Hearts -v2

With the blood of the Lamb
prepared to be ink,
Grace written on our hearts...

God’s everlasting love
seeking us, pursuing us,
hoping for covenant
for a living relationship...

Indelible ink of life
changing us, transforming
never to be the same...

In the Arms of Your Answers – v3

My prayers in the darkness

the yearnings of my heart;

I have hope in Your answers

in the arms of Your grace, oh Lord

There is hope in Your promise

in the steadfast love of God;

Reaching to me, wooing me

calling me to His side

In the arms of Your answers

in the warmth of Your presence;

Seeking me ever to guide me

to share Your message of love

The Grace of Your Answers – v2

The grace of Your answers

wooing me with Your love;

Wanting me near You

calling me from above

All of my worries offered

turning to You Lord;

Seeking You ever

that I may be restored

My cares are lifted

my heart is healed by Your hand;

my hope come alive

in Your answers to my prayers

All I need is to call You

to know that you are here always;

not just in the heavens

but beside me every day

My life in Your hands

my hope in Your love

wooing me when I stray;

holding me in Your grace

every single day

Numbers on the ceiling

forty of them

numbers repeating

numbers on the ceiling

hammered into the tin

hearts, four leaf clovers

love protecting

the triune God

in relationship with us

shafts of wheat surrounding us,

on the walls around us,

reminding us of fields

ready for the harvest

messages written

reminding us, looking

seeing the numbers

repeating in the tin

Afraid liked they were

wandering, running, cloistered

seemingly alone in the world

yet Christ here to comfort

to assure us of a future

the better angels of our nature

to serve, to share, the bear his light

the love we are given

Christ knocking,

enters in if we let him

the Spirit, the Savior

the love of God manifest

coming to each one of us

erstwhile disciples

into our locked minds

to heal and to change us

Appearing to each of us

the One who was raised from the dead

Christ stands with us, by grace,

yes with we who have run away

who have denied him

with us as he had promised

before his climbed the cross

before He became our sacrifice

Witness to God’s Grace

Witness to God’s grace
to the presence of Jesus
to the hand of God descending
lifting us up in our sorrow

God here with us
walking by our side
guiding us homeward
all the days of our lives

Witnesses to His Grace

God’s grace abounding
pouring down on us
when we seek Him
though He is already hear

Answering our petitions
our prayers raised up
carrying us through the darkness
into the radiance of His love

The Grace of Your Answers

The grace of Your answers
wooing me with Your love
wanting me near You
calling me from above

All of our worries offered
turning to You Lord
seeking You ever
that I may be restored

My cares lifted
my heart healed by Your hand
my hope come alive
in Your answers to my prayers

All I need is to call You
to know that you are here
not just in the heavens
but beside me every day

My life in Your hands
my hope in Your love
wooing me when I stray
holding me in Your grace
every single day
