One More Day

 One more day When I thought there weren’t many A little hope Amidst life’s frenzy  That still small voice Still keeps calling I hear it clearly Amongst all the noise That keeps me here It resonates Crystal clear  What comes next? Don’t always know Yet I wake up, I still go One step at a time  Remembering not too long ago  When my heart  Felt it couldn’t grow Yet here I am I stand One more day. 02/28/26 clc

Come to Me

“Come to me when you’re weary,  lay your burdens down Tired of all the struggles  Unable to rise up from the ground  Let my love surround you When you’re lost amidst the day to day Know I have carried all that you bear, I know the weight As sadness, fear, uncertainty  seem to linger in your mind They take you from the hope I give Call out and you will find Rest for you soul Your spirit yearns to let go Come to me in sadness Even as tears stream down your face Know that I am with you Holding you close I am the way And when you can’t go on Sit with me Even as you linger I send my peace in the gentle breeze Upon your face The simplest way to  Feel my grace As you are still.” 02/25/26 clc “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Mirror, Mirror

See the reflection Clearly face to face But do you recognize  The beauty in the hope that we call Grace  Mirror shows our imperfections If that’s all we’re looking for But the mirror of the soul  Looks deeper into the heart, it shows us more  One day we’ll see the glory  beyond the trappings of this life When we no longer linger  In the dark and we see His light Shine down All around For in His presence  We have found  Peace and no longer need A mirror  to see.  02/24/26 clc “For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.” 1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Said a Man

Said a man to the beggar ‘What is it you need?’ Lord I need redemption But I can’t see Said that man to the beggar ‘It’s true, you can’t see When the Truth stands here before you Open your eyes and believe’ Blind man opens his eyes for the first time  Imagine what he sees Sitting in the darkness, Now eclipsed by light The power of a savior to command day from darkest night Trust is the answer Sometimes all it takes is to open closed eyes When the savior comes our way In the wind In the still small voice In the moments when we feel so lost That gentle touch  that quiets the noise Said a man  to that beggar ‘Now, what will you do? Pick up your mat Carry on Let your heart be ever renewed By this choice When you trusted In my voice And were made new.’ 02/23/26 clc

Hear My Heart

You said  “I am the way” When I didn’t know  Which way to go You said “I am the truth” That will feed Your hungry soul “I am the light” When the darkness Closes in I am your comfort I am your hope I am your friend You said it Over and over again Even when I feel so lost You find me  And bring me back in To where you are You are always near You hear my heart Beating For you. 02/21/26 clc “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”” John‬ ‭14‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

In His Steps

“Take heart Do not worry Beyond this moment For I am there With you In the quiet I’m so totally aware Of the actions You are taking Moving one step Then another ahead I am always with you So lift up your weary head To me And see The beauty  of all that I can bring Though the day May bring trouble I listen to your heart  Bearing all your burdens Urge you to be still,  To stop Trying to face tomorrow When you’re here,  Right here today Never will I leave you I walk beside you And as you pray I listen To each heartfelt desire  Filling you with my presence Lighting the way With my power I am the way And I walk beside you Everyday” 02/16/26 clc “The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

Peace

Don’t always know it Often times don’t understand How something so quiet Can slip so quickly through my hands You say be still, Lord I never really tried Until in the darkness I was desperate and I cried Still find it elusive Wonder some days  if it will ever come Yet in the whispering wind I feel a touch  of what you’ve begun Inside my chest When I find rest I know it comes  From nowhere else  Peace isn’t a potion Or some passing fantasy It rests in the midst of trouble Helping us to see That even when the struggle  rises up ahead You open your arms And say “Pick me instead I will steady the ship I will calm the storm I will shelter your spirit When you’re weary and worn I am here All you have to do Is call out my name  I have loved you From the very first day I remain” Breath starts to flow Shedding tears Letting go Peace  Comes  In the midst Of the storm. 02/13/26 clc
