When Words Fail

When words fail And voices grow still When the music fades And we lose all of the feels The spirit stays Not banging like a drum The instruments go silent And beyond all that we’ve sung  The worship of our hearts Isn’t written on a screen It resonates within a heart That has truly changed In our motives And our actions The stirrings as we live In quiet meditation It shows clearly as we near The throne of Grace Our days are full Of so many ways to praise…  08/26/26 clc

His Voice

In ocean waves And newborn babes In rain that falls Leads to thunder’s wake In choirs that sing Birds wake the day Even city streets Announce the name Of the creator In each little thing So many ways His voice rings In subtle whispers Shared between two Or raucous laughter That shakes the room His voice carries  Beyond Heaven’s Gates He brings the storm As the universe quakes And when his voice Comes amidst the still I tremble and realize His voice echoes like the hills That bear his name. 08/24/26 clc

Child’s Prayer at Nightime

Be still, my child I’m here now You can rest your weary head The world may keep On pushing you But I hold you  So go to bed Don’t worry about tomorrow Rest the future to my touch With all my might I cover you I love you Oh, so much As you drift  Know I am with you Let your spirit be set free And wake up tomorrow To a new day With me. 08/16/26 clc

Today

Oh, Lord Meet me in the morning Send your presence Like dew upon the ground Clothe me with your sunshine Let your radiance abound In me Let me see Each cloud that forms a picture Ever changing as I breathe In this day set before me Oh, Lord Show me your way  As I walk on Let me hear the birds  Finding solace Even though I can’t make out the words As they praise Lifting up the first song Of this day Take the dark that wants  to hide within me All the trappings  I fall into as I trod Shine your light surely  upon my middle Where nothing can escape you Oh, my God This I pray Today Meet me in the solace Before I go on my way Knowing you’re beside me Walking with me as  Your light illuminates  Each step I take. Today. 08/16/26 clc

The splendor that was Rome

Amidst the splendor that was Rome With its shiny cathedrals made of stone The crest of civilization at the time Where the glory of man could shine Under the gaze of the Pharisees Those so religious, making a spectacle of  just bending to their knees As they took the scriptures and made a point Of drawing a line between those not worthy,  those who they would anoint Isn’t it perfect This being the place Where a savior comes in the midst  of the grandeur and brings grace A teacher who taught those in law how to be free A savior who came and shed his blood  to make a reprieve So me,  someone who dwells  between religion and faith Can just let it go And find my way As I look up and I look around The grandeur of Rome The history of Israel Still resounds Yet what matters more to me Is how a common man, a carpenter, a teacher - my God  would die for me 08/14/26 clc

How I Worship

How do I worship you? With every breath I breathe What song in my lungs? Not a hymn or some righteous cackling Everywhere I go I feel the pressure try to crush Though if I stop and listen I can feel your touch Not in a box Not on the stage But in misty mornings When I feel the rage Of living in skin So far from the divine Just hoping you hear me One more time As I praise you with mumbling Through fallen tears  That’s how I worship you Amidst all my fears That’s when I know And I grow Hopefully, closer to you 08/12/26 clc

Singing that Song

Sometime it’s the silence That seems so fucking loud When everything is quiet Alone with thoughts, that’s where I’ve found My soul opens to the promise I’ve heard so many times But even in salvation, I still struggle deep inside Not with man, not with substance, Though I lived there far too long I struggle with this deity That I love, singing his song Cause even those of us who wander Are not always truly lost Some of us just meander through Exploring the world, and that can cost A price I know I don’t owe anymore Though the hurts may sting at times But they are not my burden If I will just stop and take the time To raise my hands to heaven, Or fall down in the mud Realizing I’m not enough That’s where I often get stuck Because I was taught I needed to do more,  I needed to be pure I needed to sing But the words weren’t always present,  or the music just too deafening To truly let him love me Yet recently I find more and more That’s the only solution Church Hurt sucks And I im...
