In the Light

  We never Have to be alone again In the nightmares that surround us In this world so full of sin Never did I think That I could stand within my mind Without falling to the doubt As my insides would unwind Sinking ever further into the darkness Always knowing so clearly How bad my heart was That’s the trick we fall for When we’re surrounded by the lies filling us with sadness Asking us to compromise All that we are We fall deeper, More alone Right where we are But we never have to be alone again Always right beside us Is the most intimate of friends The one who recognizes Our brokenness and needs Instead of holding us captive to the dark We find release In the light Like a candle burning Becoming a flame  that lights inside You are not alone Nor am I When we open up our hearts to the one Who owns the night And believe 09/28/26 clc

Take in Each Sip

What if in the silence Before we face the world We sat there with the maker Took those moments and asked,  “Dear Lord… Will you carry me through the hard times? Will you show me more of your joy? Will you let my heart beat freely? As I work, Help me find you more Take the fear that often snares me Cut away that bitter seed Open up this vessel In each breath, let me believe More of your message, more of your truths And when I can’t see you Lord, Let Your spirit be the proof In breath in my lungs Wind across my lips Skies that paint majestic As I take in each sip of You.” 09/28/26 clc

The River

  Waters run through the canyons Early morning chill West beneath the Rockies’ heights God, if it be your will Move this vessel forward Steer my heart amidst the rocks Keep me ever mindful As I journey through my thoughts That run like this river Small against the tapestry Of all You place before me Oh, God You are all I need. 09/25/26 clc “God does not row for me, I have to row for myself.” ~ Anonymous

Mr. Son

Blue skies Blue eyes Misty morning Subtle cries  Mr. Son Shine your light Dry up these tears Hold us tight We’re all just children Wanting to be held Touch us gently Help us feel Your might As first rays break And shed the night 09/25/26 clc

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
