Starfish ZA

I woke, my eyes heavy with the weight of sleep,
but the moment they opened, they filled with tears.
There you were—silent, still,
as if I were the only one
...

Move on as fast as you can
He doesn't love you, he doesn't need you,
He is a man with a fickle heart.
He will never know how much he's hurt you—
...

Oh God of wonder
God of Grace
Here I stand before you
Humbled and broken
...

The Rose and the Word

'The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.' (Isaiah 40: 8)
...

Father, Gracious Father, Healer of hearts,
I lift my broken soul to You,
Seeking mercy to mend what is torn,
Strength to stand through this storm.
...

Does it really matter
how I feel tonight?
The silence wraps around me,
cold and tight.
...

Lift me up, O’ God

Lift me up O God
Lift me higher to You
...

On driving home tonight, I searched the sky
for something, something even I was not sure
of. ‘Tis a trifle sad when you have this longing
and you are not particularly certain
...

Standing here and soaking in Your presence Lord
Leaves me so amazed, in awe of Your grace
Your love is immeasurable and tireless
You pursued my sin laden life's road
...

My body now worn and riddled with pain

FATHER have mercy on me, LORD have mercy on me
...

I thought I knew you
But now, thinking back
YOu never gave me your heart
...

The final word on my heart is goodbye.
No more tears, no more lies, no more waiting.
All these years I held you, thinking you were mine—
My soul mate, my first love.
...

When did we stop caring
How can we explain
World of tragedy, world of pain
Flames of despair scorch the earth, skies weep with sorrow,
...

Betrayal, opportunity to bully
Insane Propaganda, I don't understand fully
Leaders in pain and caring too much
A country devastated; how could we allow such
...

I am hurting, still no call
Not a word
This silence unbearable
Where are you?
...

Lord, thank You for the blessing of Your love,
For the creation of new rain—
Rain that falls like liquid light,
Each drop a blessing, a moment of grace.
...

Lord, open my eyes, that I may truly see
Your love, a seed planted deep within my heart,
Lord, in Your grace, let visions of peace arise—
A quiet whisper, a blest dream that lifts the soul.
...

Renew me in You

You put a song in my heart
And a dance in my step
...

I am left standing here
With tears burning my eyes
And my heart tearing with pain
I am trying to remember
...

I've been searching for the one
To take into my heart,
Through endless nights of wondering,
If she'd ever cross my path.
...
