In Your Hands



In Your Hands 


"All beautiful in majesty
All wonderful and free
Faith clothed around me
As I search for thee
Upon your palm I stand
Not upon unstable land
Showers of forgiveness and grace
Is poured out in mercy upon this place"

"No other place is there perfect rest, peace,
And the place to call home
As of in our Fathers presence,
Within the veil near Gods throne"

Tree of Life


Tree of Life

Planted into the dirt and soil of the ground
By a love of the planters hands is brought the mound
Watered from up above
Showers of rain in love
From a small seed to roots they crawl
You grow out and around springing up so tall
Above the ground light shines upon
From the day and night to breaking dawn
Growth begins and seasons begin strengthening life
Through beautiful days and storms of strife
You remain still to grow
Deepening your roots far as your branches swing and flow
From a seed, to roots, to limbs, to sprouts, and leaves
The planters brings all your needs
Storms beat upon, droughts come and go, the tree remains
Never it’s beauty it refrains
A tree of life full of green, branches reaching out, shading and protecting
Some around you' you see, never did they make it

"Oh beautiful tree, how deep are your roots?
You have come so far, yet you remain still beautiful
Oh tree of Life what color are your roots, I’ll never know
Till I taste your fruits you bear in your time and in your season"

To My Daddy


Daddy Went Home

Sunday winds blew taking Daddy home
In Heaven with Jesus will he forever be
How we miss Him, and
His hugs and kisses he gave
Tear drops fall of the memories we shared
A promise one day we will be together again ‘I know’
Oh Daddy I will call to you, for one day your voice I’ll hear again
Holding on to you forever, I can’t let go
You hold on to me in spirit, never letting go

To my Father who passed away Sunday 18, 2007
I miss Him..

Songs


“I Can Almost Touch Heaven”
(Song)

I can almost touch heaven
When I am in, you’re Presence
I can almost touch heaven
When I am in, your presence
I can almost feel “angel wings”
When I am, in your presence
I can almost hear “music”
When I am, “down on my knees”
I can almost hear my “Father Call”
When I am humbled at his word

“Sounding trumpets of gladness”
“Sounding trumpets of joy”
Hearing raindrops of love
When I am in Gods presence
That’s when I feel; I can ‘touch heaven’

Some glorious day when heaven I will go
I will dwell always in his sweet presence
I will stand next to Jesus “on streets of gold”
When I am in His presence
In Gods presence “I can almost touch Heaven”

(Re-sing)

You Set Me Free
I want to be where you want me to be
I want to live like you want me to live
I want to be where you want me to be
Spiritually
You Set Me Free

I want to pray like you want me to pray
I want to go where you want me to go
I want to pray like you want me to pray
Spiritually
You set me free

Blessed Salvation, Merciful Lord
Heavenly Father, Living Word

You’re Holy Spirit
Living in Me
Forgiving my Sins
You died for me

He carried me through, on Calvary’s hill
He shed his blood, and my name he knew



God's Love For Me

He shed his blood on cavalry
He took a sinner just like me
And loved me
He loved me

I was so blind, I could not see
I could not see the Love for me
But still he loved me
Yes, He loved me

I sought that Love from everywhere
I wondered oh so Long
But yet he loved me
Yes, he loved me
 Through wondering and straying
He loved me
Through anger and torment
He loved me
Through rebellion and sin
He Love me
Yes, He loved me

Onward and upward now, I’m climbing
Praying and seeking him, I’m trying
Jesus, Oh Jesus I love you
I love you

You are the Lover of my soul
You are the Lover of my life
You are the Love That I needed

Yes you loved me
Oh you loved me
How could I’ve been so blind?
How could I’ve strayed so long?
But yet you loved me
Yes you loved me
He loved me

Life Eternally


My child seek my face
Turn from your own ways
Depart from sin and purify yourself
Let not down your head but rejoice in me
For I have promise you life eternally...
Stand in awe in what I have done
Praise me for it is good
Look not to the right or to the left
But look straight ahead for what I have planned is life eternally...
Clap your hands oh child of mine, dance a new dance oh precious saint
For I come shortly with healing in my wings.
Look upon me for I am life eternal...
Life eternally is just a breath away
Life eternally is just what I want
Life eternally is what we were here for
Life eternally is what we need!








Give Up, Pick Up


Give Up, Pick Up


Initially, giving up our life for the sake of the gospel is not always easy. First, we are committed to our families, jobs, and friends. We also submit ourselves to the needs of our flesh in what it wants. Furthermore, we pour out ourselves to a life of gain and contentment. Likewise, we work to see our goals accomplished by striving for a better life for those we love and for ourselves. To give up our life, truly for Jesus Christ, and to place it in his hands is for us to say, “My hope’s ‘my dreams’ and my way now is no longer no more, I will follow you My Lord and my life is yours.” “Do with me what is your will and purpose all for your glory”. We need him to come into our hearts purifying it and renewing a right spirit within us. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. (Psalm 51:10) Changing us as is his will and purpose, to fulfill his plan for our lives. We must be a servant abiding by his word’ leaning not to our own understandings and serving a God of love to the uttermost. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5, 6) Forsake not his word; for this cause choose not your way and your understanding, but allow him to work within you. We are the clay and he is the Potter, molding us in the image he would have us be.  He will create his divine will and purpose for our life for the great ministry of the Lord so souls may come to know Him. The time is short and at hand. Only in him, and him in us, by his spirit moving through us can we be used to submit obediently to his will.
We must first lay down our life; completely surrendering all, willing to submit to him, and obeying all his laws he gives unto us in his word. God has taught us to be separate from the world. We may be in this world, but we are not to be conformed to it. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (Romans 12:2) Our number one priority should be Jesus Christ our Lord.  We should seek his kingdom of heaven up above and his righteousness. With that in mind being our reward, all things will be added unto us. For example, our family’s will he take care and give us perfect peace even when difficulties come their way. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:33) Our career will he direct in the manner of his will and providence. Our friends will respect with love the life we choose in Christ. We must strive to walk daily after his spirit so we may not fulfill the lust of the flesh. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:4)  The flesh is contrary to the spirit. The two do not get along, so we must be filled with God’s Holy Spirit guiding and directing us His way. However, to be completely surrendered to Jesus Christ is to not to be holding on to things of this world. But instead, allowing Jesus through his word to clean up all sin we have in our hearts, and thinking as with the mind of Christ and with a spirit of love, power, and a sound mind. For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Timothy 1:7)

Poetic Expressions


A Time to Love

Given from God is Love
Merciful Jesus, Holy dove
Whom from out of His Love, He gave
That he may show love through us, to save

“A time to Love is now
Through Jesus he shows us how”


“Because of Him”

Singing songs of delight
I am thankful I have spiritual sight

Even when there are difficult times
Jesus will be in all my rhymes
I think of his word
“Greater is he that is within me; than He that is in the world”
A word I allowed to be heard

No matter the circumstances,
My attention to his word is where I go
I know I will overcome because He paid the debts
No question’s unanswered, no past regrets
Just knowing Him, all emptiness is full

Unexplained joy!
Unmovable steadfast love!

My list goes on and on
Because of a man called Jesus
My life is not my own to live, but now is his control

Out of the hands of Satan’s
Into the hand’s of the Father
My carpenter; my eternal God

Because of Him
Who chosen me, his promised child
His repented daughter

Because of Him


Faith

I will pray continually and seek you everyday
I will fight the good fight of faith in every way

These pains I feel will heal in time
Or today I will see a miracle!

This is my faith oh lord, hear me and be merciful
Break the bars that keep us from your work
Heal brokenness of passed mistakes

Throw into the sea of forgetfulness
And do a new work in me

I will believe your word and have faith for deliverance
In your word and spirit I proclaim these miracles in Jesus name

“Finding Home”

As my eyes search for a place to call home
I seek my God as everyday I roam

“This is my home where I can daily grow
Planting a harvest of hope I will now sow”

Work will come in time I see

This door closes; I have not the key

“To another area so clean and new
Waking up to fresh morning dew”

Not enough that I can give
That will continually help me live

“Give up! Give up! I give up!
There is no perfect home to fill my cup”

Again till tomorrow I’ll continually wait
With faith I’ll stand, surely Jesus will not be late


“Frustrated” (silly words we say)

Calling out each and everyday
Having so many words to say
You hear my cries dear Lord
You know what it takes that I cant afford
You move me here and there
I know you always care
Sometimes I cry when I’m uncomfortable
But it is only for me to learn and it is reasonable
I wonder how many times I fall
Before I really learn at all
All the things that you must teach me
All the things that help me see
So many times I get impatient
Wanting to see blessings that I cant
The anxiety that comes when I can’t wait
I feel as if it’s always to late
What do I do today dear Lord
To get me through when I am bored
I write and read a little bit
Some times I just baby-sit
So many things that need my attention
So many things that I want mention
Frustration comes when I want hearken unto it
It’s always still there for me throwing a fit
Oh the hunger I do have to just have the key
And the person I know that I can be
I feel as if my body is overweight
It’s not anyone’s fault so why my complaint
I get so ungrateful
I don’t mean to be that fool
If I exercise my ambitions
I’m sure to get that self-satisfaction
Oh my weakness
Takes over me I confess
I need to repent and start a new
Waking up with fresh morning dew
Oh Lord How I need you today
I cannot make it without you in anyway
My feelings overcome me
And it closes my spiritual eyes so I cannot see
Peace rest upon me
And set me free
No more worries on my mind
Only good things about me should I find


 Author's Comments:
"When I get so frustrated with myself, I think of what God's word said about me and I am able to get pass those little weakness we can allow ourselves to fall into."






God is Always Faithful

God is always there for me
He answers me from anywhere I may be
He directs the path I take
He shows me how to stay awake
Never has he ever left me
Never has he let me be
He stays right beside me
Bad and good, he is my key
When I am not so faithful
He reaches down and with a pull
He gets my attention
Telling me he is not done
He molds and makes me
Everyday a higher place he wants me to see
God is always faithful
For I am his dearest tool

Hearing Angels
 
Going through the hardships of Life
Overcoming temptations and strife

Not seeking and praying as strong as I should be
Getting caught up with my self and what I want to see

During this time of needing to let go
I awake from my sleep only to hear voices blow

“What’s that I hear?
Falling soundly upon my ear
A song coming from the corner of the room;
above the baby’s bed I assume”

Beautiful angel voices singing to me
who am I to experience’ such a great thing to be?

I hear God’s voice saying, from deep within my heart
You know I’ve put my angels around about you, protecting you always, even during time’s you feel we are apart

Only I know really why I’m hearing my angel voices; you see
Reminding me that; His promises are still there even when I may not be


Author's Comments:
"Going through hard time's are not always easy, but God always' sends a comfort and word to me in his own way that will touch me and give me strength to overcome obstacle's in this life."

Love You Lord

“You oh Lord are my hearts desire
 Your words burn like fire”

 “You love me with an everlasting love
You keep me safe with your Holy angels from above”

“Oh Lord! I praise your name
You are so real and always the same”

“Lord! You hear my prayers
You protect me from all my fears”

“Do a work in me Lord everyday
Help me speak well with every word I say”

“Bless me Lord with goodness
 I am your servant I confess”

“Thank you Lord for loving me
Thank you Lord for helping me to see”

Open Windows(complex)
 On a spring morning day
I open my window
As I carry on and my curtains sway
I feel God’s presence blow

I hear loudly the noise from outside
A near by highway
Where people quickly pass by
As I go about my simple everyday

Children laughing
As the aroma of what I’m cooking is in the air
My heart is singing
As all my actions flow out my windows to share

As I walk down my halls
Each room with a different feeling
Noises echoing off all my walls
To my room where I will be kneeling

Opening those spiritual windows
I began to talk to him and pray
Prayers go forth as God’s presence blows
Those of you outside hear what I have to say


And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of 
righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
                                                                                                      -Isaiah 32:17

Motherhood & Children

“Just Cry”

 How much more is there to carry? How long can my heart be merry?
Overwhelmed by a mothers calling
I find my self just falling
Into a place where others fear
A place where we cry that first tear
Motherhood is not a easy road
Sometimes you feel it's too much of a load
In a world today you can do it all
You can get a job and stand proud and tall

I cover my face as the tears fall, I am God’s child to him I will call
Oh Lord, you said you won't put more on me than I can bear
My children are a blessing from you, but now the devil sends his fear
God said,” Pick up your word
I gave you the weapon to fight
Don’t falter and lose your sight
You can overcome through me 
Just allow me to help you daily
I love you, my child; I am here
My words will comfort you have no fear
As you went about everyday
You haven’t stop to even pray
For some strength for me to give
A better way for you to live
I brought you here my daughter
I have your attention; don’t falter"
God’s presence rested upon me
His light shined so brightly
My burden I carried; he took
By his promises in his book
The pain and hardship I once carried
He took them away for me and buried


-To a wonderful Mother:

Mother and Daughter

My Mother carried me all the way, Through times of growth every day
I lean on her when I am tired
She nourished me as a flower is admired
Her expectation of me was good health and joy
She did not always give me every toy
But what she did give me was her time and Love
Her spiritual guidance sent to her only from above
As I look at my life today I see my Mother reflecting in me


-To My precious little girls that I adore and Love.

 My Four Girls
 Heaven sent me four little angels
My precious sweet little girls
My oldest one Elizabeth
Was a blessing, she kept me from death
At a time of rebellion in sin my life
She brought joy and took away the strife
My second one Erin
Though unexpected delivered me from sin
At a time I had anger and disappointment
She brought me a love that gave me content
My third one Emily
The beginning of a new family
A caring husband 
And dearest friend
And then there was Faith, I tried for a boy
She taught me that in faith it all ends in joy 


-To those who have lost a child
In His Arms

As a song in the night
And the early morning light
Whispers about you in heaven are sent
With a man called Jesus you went
Underneath crystal blue skies of mercy
Words are spoken of truth to me

“Mommy dear’ I Love you”
I am safe’ Jesus Knew

In His arms I will always be
He sings to me beautiful melodies
Heaven now is my home
With Jesus, I am never alone
His Eyes speak of His love I see
He knew my name and he chose me



Psalm 139:13-16  For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you,when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them

Against Abortion
A dream I had, I know is graphic, but I'm just writing what I dreamed.
“Abortion Nightmare”

In this dream I’m on a roller coaster
Not just any kind of roller coaster, but one that is haunted

Fearfully and innocently I get into the cart
Up and down and side to side
I find myself slowly beginning to stop

As my attention looks to the right of me
Where a room with stone walls all around

I see these unknown people slowly letting down a sack from the top of the ceiling
With an innocent human figure in it

As the figures eyes innocently looks around without a thought
Suddenly Huge enormous black spiders attack

In what was just a second ago Life
was now devoured by blood sucking spiders

As I immediately awoke out of this dream
I new exactly what abortion is

Behold my affliction and my pain and forgive all my sins.





Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.
(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)


One of my four girls
 Express

Let me express to you my love
It’s unconditional sent from God up above
Love that gives joy
Contentment unlike any toy
Hugs from my heart
That say let us never grow apart
