Love Pours Down Like Rain

January 5, 2015

*

I wait in expectation
Morning by morning I seek
To listen to your kind voice
To walk in the light

*

Those who tell lies crush others
Homes are destroyed, children lose
The safety and love God gave
With two loving souls

*

No word can we trust
Hearts are full of destruction
Only action speaks

*

I found a place of refuge
Place I can be glad again
God can restore the real joy
Spread his protection

*

Those who love your name
Will find a place to rejoice
When we seek a pure heart
Our eyes are opened
Love pours down like the rain
We experience God’s love

*

Forgiveness from God
Is the greatest gift of all
Then we can forgive
The one we have hurt the most
The offense against our souls

*

We wounded ourselves
Lied to ourselves and others
Miracles of forgiveness
Comes to those who will repent
Accept God’s love and give it

*

God will run to receive you
Others will be unable
Celebrate this gift and give
Others time to heal

*

Reflections from Psalm 5 with awareness of the Father-son relationship in Luke 15.

The Soul Wound

June 28, 2013

No one knows the pain
Of the soul wound of others
But I can listen
 
I will not give up
Seeking to participate
In loving others
 
Only two commands matter
Loving God is the first one
Loving each other is next
Give me a pure heart

The deepest soul wound
Unspeakable tragedy
Is understood by your God
He shares the same wound

Betrayed by his friends
Who thought they knew who they were
Jealousy and strife
They were awakened by love
Friendship indescribable

This story I tell
After listening to the wound
The soul wound fully expressed
Given space to heal
In the safety of true friends
Peace passes understanding
