Prayer from the Road

Can I give you everything?

I’m not sure I know how 

But Lord, I’m trying 

Hear my voice in the crowd 

I stumble and fall down 

You’d think I’d wear out my knees 

I know that I’m nothing 

So I come to you, please 


Take what I have 

I know it’s not much 

I’m still broken, battered 

But I love you so much 

And I’ll keep on trying 

Please hear my prayers 

Though my body is dying 

My heart is aware 

Of you 

Of you 


Can I give you everything? 

Lord, I will try 

Because you gave me everything 

You gave me life 


You saved my body 

But more you saved my soul 

Regardless of what I bring 

You make me whole

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

she called Him ‘son’

They called Him ‘teacher’ following from town to town  Others, the ‘king’  come to reign with a crown Some, 'healer', as he gave them  eyes to see  To me, ‘my savior’  shining his love down on me  But she called him ‘son’ Raised from the infant that pierced her womb She loved him before He was known to the world  She called him ‘son’ As her baby grew to a man Lost in the crowd In his father’s house finally found She followed closely As he began his great task She watched him love others She was there at the last  <breath> She stood in the shadows  Tears at the loss  Regardless of what was coming She stood at the cross Aware of his teachings She still remembered the babe That now hung dying She saw it all His birth, now the grave And she called him ‘son’ The king of kings The teacher The healer The one still her ‘son’. 05/11/25 clc “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”...

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc
