Only God

Only God knows the melody That plays within your heart He alone hears the simple truths That keep you where you are He listens with ears of heaven Knowing the pain you’re going through He knows the joy, the sadness He’s the only one who really knows you Inside In those places You hide  He knows when you’re weary When days have been oh, so rough He sits there, when you’re teary Shielding you when you’ve had enough He waits, always hopeful For the times you seek his face And even when you turn away He knows the heart that he alone can save Inside In those places You hide Only God has the answer To those questions  You just have to ask Knowing that in the asking You’re seeking  Finding the path Inside In that place Where He longs to reside And when you find that moment When it’s only God you seek Realize he’s always been there Always ready to love you  Complete Inside 09/21/26 clc

If I’m honest…

When I sit Honest Under a tapestry of stars Wondering  Where your presence goes When the winds seem to slow The night rests from the daytime Moon beckons my eyes  to its light Are you here  In this place  Or do you simply hide? Like I do often I know you are bigger than my thoughts  When I sit away from the hustle On a cloudless, star-filled night I know I’m not alone here There’s a hand that I get to hold But Lord, If I’m being open and bold There’s no sense to why you linger No reason to simply rest Your spirit upon this being Even when I’m at my best So I sit And yes, I question But not the questions of my past Just honest in the moment  And these doubts will pass Because I know  The path you’ve carried me When I couldn’t even stop and see The years of desolation When my heart felt so lost  To the deep You’ve shone  in times of darkness When I felt so, so alone You’ve spared me from myself When I couldn’t find my home So honestly, I know y...

We’ve Seen Him

 “We’ve just seen Him” They shouted above their tears The men still doubted Still overrun by recent fears They didn’t forget the promise Though they went to anoint the dead Bringing spices and coverings Unable to realize all he said Was true,  in those moments His voice alone proved “It is I Do you not believe? I told you I’d rise again Here I am Can’t you see I wasn’t meant  To be adorned in a tomb I came to bring life And I gave my life for you” They knelt down Trembling at the sight This vision The risen Savior Right before their eyes  Magical morning Heavens prophesied Glory Three days waiting  Two thousand years have past What’s keeping you From seeing Him at last The tomb couldn’t hold The world could not contain Three days later And today we still proclaim “We’ve seen Him!” As he opens up broken eyes 09/18/26 clc

Take this Morning

Take this morning My weary body  Tearful yawns All I have is the hope You bring  Amidst the storms Inside my being It’s not that I’m sinking now But I know my spirit yearns For the peace  Only you provide Lord, stay close beside Me now  09/17/26 clc “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.” 1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭6‬-‭10‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

I wonder

I wonder, When I question do you shake your head and sigh? For you know me more than anyone You know the hurt inside As the sun rises and the day begins Dew glistening across my face I just long for heaven And I’m stuck here in this place You’ve blessed me with so many things But the eternal is what I seek Scared and wanting to lick my wounds I want more of you, less of me Because I’m terminally broken here Even as I’m eternally saved I want to be home beside you And hear you say “I love you” 09/09/26 clc

Abide

  When I’m lost When I’m hurting As the day opens up and breaks Tears like rivers flowing My whole world erupts and shakes Not lost upon the morning As I sit here oh, so small Find my spirit longing For the hope that covers all There is a place I run to In the crevice of the rock Where my salvation finds  The peace I longingly sought There I abide In the presence  I seek and find More than empty promises Filled from the very source Of holy, living water As my spirit quiets from the noise  There I abide Lift up my weary head As I kneel by his side The father opens arms And takes me in I am replenished  Growing closer from within And there I abide  Never wanting to leave His peace, I find 09/06/26 clc “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can d...

No Matter

  Do you see me? Do you care? In those moments when I want to fade away Are you really there? When the darkness Falls across my face Where are you God? I feel so out of place Inside my heart Just want to run And run and run and run Off towards the sun But that seems silly When I’m sitting in shame That’s the dichotomy inside my head Keeps on rearranging The truth So I sit And throw a good old-fashioned childish fit Do you hear me wail? Do you hear me scream? Do you even have context at all? In those moments, it truly seems I’m alone Licking my wounds And for a moment, for 12, That’s all I can do So I ask you again Are you there? Creator of the universe, Do you really care For me? In the stillness, Once I’m done Through my brokenness and self deceit You answer… “My son, Yes”. “I have been with you  since I formed you And I am quite aware of all that you feel And if you fail I don’t care, I love you And I always will!” 09/04/26 clc
