Reaching out for Hope

  Deep within my spirit Where my words dare not go In the caverns of my loneliness Those places in my soul Born in darkness yet saved by light Where I can’t comprehend the thoughts Beyond any grasp of reason Where my nature has often fought Lies the secret of my humanity The frailness bound to this divide And in this, my insanity Heaven tugs As dark tries to hide For I am lost And I acknowledge That I can’t do this on my own As darkness pulls at my sanity I call out to the only home I’ve known < Reaching out for hope > 11/05/26 clc “In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.

More a sinner than a Saint

More a sinner than a Saint I still wear this worldly taint Lost my religion But found my faith That’s the funny thing with Grace Stopped hearing the lies Once I heard the truth Started opening the good book more And turning off the news Seems I’m built for bigger things Even when I feel so small But that’s often what being human means I’m not lost I’m not blind I see the way my steps Grow easier when I step in time To the one Who walked before I breathe easier When in trust him more Cause I’m still more a sinner Than a Saint And I don’t worry about Being any other way Than the way I was made to be Take a moment A big breath And just be… 11/02/26 clc

Thirsty

Thirsty While drowning Can’t fill the emptiness What matters? Alone Amidst the crowd Silence While screaming aloud Where do I run? Where do I hide? When this world Seems so scary outside Fear  Though I stand as if strong  Not sure Where I belong Until I lost All that I was And the Spirit Spoke to these bones “Get up Take up your mat It’s time to surrender Right where you’re at” Where do I run? Where do I hide? To the hope  I find inside This heart. 10/31/26 clc “Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’ ”” John‬ ‭7‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Weary

When I’m weary Lost in my own dismay Feeling the weight Surround me as I pray Oh, God deliver me From within my own head Remove the hardness That suffocates me with dread I whisper soft Not knowing if you’ll hear Desperate in my spirit Take away this fear… 10/29/26 clc “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” ‭‭ Hebrews‬ ‭12‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Open My Eyes

  Show me the life You have for me Not my desires But what you’d have me see Open my eyes To the world you made Beyond what I know Never let it fade From my view… I see the skies But I can’t comprehend The ever changing canvas Made by your hand How can I fathom How wonderfully made All that I see All that you have For me. Show me the heart  I still want to hide Keep me aware Of where I can find Peace for my spirit Joy you provide Show me it all Open my eyes To you. 10/25/26 clc “David said about him: “ ‘I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay. You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.’” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭25‬-‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Take Me

  Guide me Down the backroads Over the highways Wherever I go Hold me close When I forget The ways you took me Far from death Up through the mountains As they rise Like trying to Touch the Sky Sky seems closer  with each breath Let me find My rest My feet grow weary Yet on I go As you take me Down country roads 10/24/26 clc “because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”” Luke‬ ‭1‬:‭78‬-‭79‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Come, Eat at the Table

Come Eat at my table No more scraps Come dine with the king I know You don’t feel able But I tell you I can give you everything The warmth you wanted  on those cold, dark nights Lying under the stars Bed of a pick-up,  no hope in sight I heard your anger On those days you just couldn’t see Anger at me, I understand, how hard it was For you to believe I felt your loneliness Because I was right there When you couldn’t imagine life on earth I kept you Right here So come eat at the table I set it for you Filled it with Grace and Hope,  and something New I did it for you I never left you I was just waiting until you could rend Your heart When you sat waiting Waiting on it all to end I gave you a blessing Simple words A promise* I’ll always keep Sit beside me Come Eat and drink 10/19/26 clc *“What do you want Chad?” I want to live.
