I'm Watching You

I saw you by the riverside when you were watching the sunset
I saw you when you were walking alone -mostly alone, and the rain began to pour.
I saw you when you sitting on your bed, praying and hoping for the turn of the next tide.
I saw you then, I see you now, and I will keep watching you, blessed one.
I will not let the fire consume you, I will pick you up and watch over you now and forevermore.

Happy B'day Bec (and Laura)

I look up to the people high
I see their life but mines way down.
Envious of what they seem
Not looking my way to see
That I am blessed
I nearly missed that fact
I missed what I have
A heart
A home
A friend indeed
And a life owned by my King

Lord. How often I go through my days rushed. Trying to get everything done, rarely giving a thought to You. When You are the bread of Life my own life must be deprived.

Come thirsty one, come and drink.
Why do you waste your time and labour on things that do not matter?
Come and drink with Me and be filled.
Do not waste your time any longer.
I will give you all you need. Water and food.
Provisions galore. Jehovah Jireh

Thankyou for Your sacrifice. Thankyou for my new life. Thankyou for everything.

Speeding Up the Heat

Raw emotions spelling out my fears, tears and exhaustion
I know not which way to go, there are no signposts along this road.
Tiredness overcomes the essence of what i once called my soul.
The heat and passion have slowed and faded
They say that there's no rest for the wicked.
Fustrations pour as the pounding of my feet leads me nowhere in particular
The mask of weariness have faded the oil of kindled fire.
Where am I going?
Where do I turn?
I choose to turn to You oh Lord.
I vow to tell of your goodness once this cloud has passed.
My emotions, I gladly thrust upon your shoulders.
You can deal with them. I have no need to have them anymore.
Direct my path Oh Lord, show me which way to go and i will follow
To the best of my ability i will run after You.
My soul is yours and always has been and this is why, Oh Lord, I'm turning this over to you.

Hear the strings of the violin. Hear the beats of the drum. Hear the pain of my heart
As You walk down the path headed towards Your death.
Hear the children play. Hear the rhythms of the whistling trees. Hear the moaning of the world lost. The moans You replace with Your own.
Hear the birds singing. Hear the waves of the breeze. Hear the first sounds of a morning without You here. I thought You were gone forever.

Watching

I watch the blood
The tears. They pour down your beautiful face, makes me shed tears also. So many tears, and yet you chose this path.
The pain
The mocking laughter. It pierces my ears, brings a lump to my throat. How can they, how can I, mock you?
The ridicle
The nails. They cut into the flesh. The trickles rush down to meet my face. They wash me clean as i kneel to you.
The crown
The sweat. It mixes with the blood and the tears and the mingled mess course down your back. But this mess fixes my own tattered mess.
And I watch the victory.

Thankyou.
