A Poet's Position: Rest and Secure

Oh Lord you have brought me to this place

Before your throne of mercy and grace

No other place I long to be

In your presence and your face, I long to see

The waiting at times seems hard to bare

I'm resting in knowing that you are aware

And many times, I don't quite understand

But I'm resting secured in your sovereign hand

A Poet's Position: Finding Shelter for my Soul

Less than a handful of people know that I love to write poems and it's been many years since I've engaged in writing.  Yet recent events have inclined my heart to do so.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy writing them.  

This first one is called:  Finding Shelter for My Soul

To find shelter for my soul, I lift my eyes up

My plead, oh Faithful One, is to again fill my cup

Sorrow that this world brings

Has emptied it to utter despair

I kneel before your wonderful throne

And secure myself to your gentle care

Your Word says You will comfort me

And give me all that I need

I fully trust in every Word

And in Christ whom I wholly believe

Oh Lord, satisfy my heart with gladness

Make my heart be glad in you alone

I will tell of the goodness you have done

As I worship Him who sits on the throne
