Where would I be?

Where would I be? Without the saving power Without the sun in early hours Shining on me as if a flower Reaching up  In that breath That whispers soft my name I’ve heard it before Never the same Rising thoughts bring my face To where you are Where would I be? Without you I need you Desperately The heart that proves Life still marches on Like the drummer propels the song Deep and resonant like a gong Beating beneath Where would I be? Yet when I stop I clearly see You remain You are here Every day Where else would I be? 05/02/26 clc

The Way of Peace

Sunrise from on High Above the moon  Across night’s sky Tender mercies  As early morn Arise within us We are reborn To shine Echoing his light Taking each breath Holding tight We let go Exhale the dark Find our spirits Rise, embark Upon this day One step at a time We’re on our way… The Way of Peace. 05/01/26 clc “Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭78‬-‭79‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

The process of grieving

The process of grieving  Life as it was Things I thought mattered  Left behind in the dirt Soul without meaning Broken within Told it didn’t matter But what if it did? Hurts sometimes linger  Yet they can produce a seed Of Redemption if tended Watered with care Soil tossed and trampled Just might open and bring Life from the dying If hope waters deep The pain of losing Might open to new Life if we let go breathe in a new need And grow. 04/22/26 clc

Where my heart resides, a psalm for morning

Heavy dose of sunrise Opening my eyes Stars have lost their luster Moon has said goodnight Morning breaks horizon Miles stretch before my way Up and traveling onward This, a brand new day Hope hasn’t left It sits right beside  As I continue on this journey Know my heart resides  Tho fear may come When dark tries to hide I look up To where my heart resides Oh, where my heart resides. 04/21/26 clc

Not alone

We are not alone In the struggle No one gets to where we are Without the fears and the fumbles Of life lived Without some scars Some run deep like a river Swelling when it rains Others sit in silence But the hurt remains But we’re not alone No, we’re never alone Days when the thunder Pounds deafening in our chest When the storms keep on pounding And our spirits struggle to find rest There is peace Even if we can’t see It will find us When we stop and breathe And others find it flowing They’ve been to where we are They know the depths, They’ve walked along  where many feet have trod  And the light we can’t see In those moments Still brings peace When we stop When we breathe And know We’re not alone… 04/17/26 clc

small

on days I feel so small when the hurts just grow out of my frail and feeble spirit I fall unable to stand longing for the peace that comes only from that place of full surrender where I lay it down it may not be a powerful song of praise but I hope he hears  the cries of my heart and my desperate need… 04/16/26 clc

Rise Up

Rise up, oh sinner Listen to the call Take all those burdens Let them shake and fall At the feet of the savior Risen from the dead Wake and take notice Clear your weary head You are loved By the creator Of the World Rise up Take it in Allow the spirit To surround you As you breathe in Rise Up 03/30/26 clc
