Me and God

“ We love because he first loved us” First heard the words When I was three years old ‘God so loved’ That’s what I was told Didn’t know anything else Like the stars in the sky How could I not believe When it was right before my eyes I took a big old breath There was nothing else There was me and God Swinging on a swing Birds out chirping Grass growing so green Days were simpler then Didn’t know what it was To turn my back on God Because He was all there was But I found How dark it gets Sullied by a world Full of regrets But it was me and God Walking hand in hand Days were simpler And he was my best friend But oh how that all changed Sitting here 50 years later Wish it was the same I still love the Lord More than I thought I would Found all my victories Rooted in Faith from my childhood Not so simple now Yet in a way it is Have to look around Find the beauty he brings He’s still there every day Guess it’s me who always runs away I pause  I think Then I pray… There was me and God Swi...

Grain of Sand

A grain of sand  washing across the water Here I am Feel my spirit falter Tossing to and fro Lord I know I’m just a small little thing But maybe you’ll still hear me I feel so scattered, will you bring Peace that stills the waters Vision beyond what I can see I know I’m just one among the millions But will you please Hear me? 06/02/26 clc

As We Dwell

He looks out over all creation Amidst the clouds above the highest destinations Watching all of us ready to strengthen our resolve Those who earnestly seek him  hear his whispers when we call And as we sit in our smallness if we could truly see His glory flowing like mighty rivers in the world full of his majesty Maybe we could find more of the beauty he provides In each day Along our way As we dwell. 05/30/26 clc “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war.”” 2 Chronicles‬ ‭16‬:‭9‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Where I find God

In the mornings, in the mountains Aside the running brook In clouds that wait the sunshine As eyes take a second look In green growing rampant, along a dusty trail Where few feet have trod This is where my spirit sails In time alone, uncensored By the world in which we live When I can breathe clearly And open up and give My spirit, My deeper needs This is where I find God As I walk among the trees 05/29/26 clc

Arrows to the Sky

Arrows to the sky Snow-capped wonders Rise and rise Yet, I often forget How small we are Amidst heaven’s breath As they point majestic steeples  Toward the creator We stand feeble Often unaware We are nothing If not for where They came from The creator of the sea, the sky, the sun All I can do Is stop and stare Take a breathe Know I’m where I was created to be Under the canvas of heaven Small, but loved And simply bring My Heart as a sacrifice of praise To the maker of this day 05/24/26 clc

Fill my Lungs

Fill my lungs  With your breath upon the wind  Inhale Let me clearly see your heart Written on the day In each moment I take part  In the growing of my spirit From your source  One step Then another As I breathe I feel you longing  Me to be More than what this world Tries so hard to make me believe Help me linger Only in truth You bring  I breathe In… Out… Let me see Through eyes  Set free Alive in the spirit You bring With each ray of light The spring’s hopefulness Like newly budding trees Opening flowers Like the colors You inspire Let me see… As I breathe. 05/22/26 clc

Prayer for Help

Singing hallelujah When there’s no voice left to sing  Learning how to praise you When my spirit’s tired and weak Open up my eyes When the darkness is all I see Finding how to stand When I can’t feel my feet  Open my heart When I just want to close it all down Taking in the morning When I just want to go back to bed Spirit’s tired of being tired Is this all up in my head? Wanting to believe you When I shake as if I’m cold Facing this morning I feel so f*cking old Help me be Open Help me see… 05/18/26 clc
