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.

“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.””

Piercing the Night

Rising Star Ignite the night Turn the dark to day Hear the echoes  of a thousand angels Singing “This is the way” Come in a boy A child A lowly one Born amongst the hay Awake the day  Preparing the way Our souls  So lost to this and that The hurry and the ‘go’ Falling into the traps the world pushes us toward How do we slow Our breathing  Our expectations Our very desperate need And lift our heads toward heaven When often we can’t see The light Dimmed from all the world tries to hide Our hearts grow heavy Yet, the burden  can be light If we know the yoke  we carry Isn’t ours If we give it up and let his shine We might be on the brink  of destruction We might find our hearts feel torn into We feel pressed  on all sides Yet hope still Comes through The night As the light Pierces through… 12/22/25 clc “because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of ...
