There are things I take to the Lord
Little things – sometimes more
Important things, like pain and sorrow
Whispers of insight, melancholy
Darkness and dread, joy’s caress
A longing, a hope, a dream of the best
There are memories, inklings, visions
Reminders of light that I might have left
Behind me, shimmering like sun or stars
Laughing to be praising Him with all their
Might, coloring the heart in hues of faith
Peace and inspiration, a song of pure grace
Some things are huge, bigger than I could say
Life changing thoughts – inspirational truths
Lingering promises that come from the spirit
Wisdom and strength caressing the naked feelings
With serenity and sensitivity, an abundance
Of breathless imaginings to brighten the world
There are reasons I can’t possibly explain
That I pray for His love to penetrate like rain
Nourishing the laughter, the kindness, the praise
That is nurtured by this faith so alive it displays
A grace beyond picturing, a grace that is intense
Penetrating the very heart with its fervent gift
There are thoughts that I take to my Father
He always listens and continues to guide me
Through the shadows and doubts, the dread
That sometimes fills me with fear and brings
A tender tear… to haunt my soul with sorrows
Leave me wondering about what comes tomorrow
There are hues of inspirational wonders
Feelings that bless, thoughts to ponder
Gifts of prayer and faith that is aware
Our hearts and our souls are God’s favors
Silencing our worries and filling us with
Creativity, brilliance, a muse so amazing
There are hearts that pour out hope
Souls that empty minds of all disquiet
Light up the darkness with imagination
Read through the poetry of the spirit
Dispelling all fear and awakening sincere
Appreciation of God who is our guide
There are reasons I can’t possibly reveal
Truths to be told, answers that unfold
The warmth of a blessing, the gratitude
The gratefulness of a soul who knows
God is the answer – He is the only hope
He is the master of everything we know
God is the only One to cover us in love
Love so amazing it shines like the stars above
And reminds our spirits to fly like a dove!
