Thank You Jesus

Thank you Jesus
Precious Jesus
You are Holy
Yet you died for me

Jesus
Jesus
Jesus
Something stirs within me when I call you.

Just to realize,
You pierced your sides for me
Drove nails through your hands and feet;
Your arms opened wide for me
You died for me
Rose for me
Continue to rise in me

You love me
You took on my sins
In you, Christ Jesus, I am born again

You died that I may live
Your hands hold my heart
Your word gives me life

Your love sees beyond my mess
I have to say thank you
I couldn't say it enough
How many ways can I express my gratitude
That's why I'm writing this poem for you

My savior
My redeemer
Prince of peace
Thank you

Love always,
Your Daughter

Heart like YOURS

Saturday, January 8, 2011

Father,
Lord of Heaven and Earth
Most High God,
I need you.

Help me to understand Father.
Give me compassion to speak with loving words.
Teach me Daddy,
I need a heart like yours.

I see your children Father.
I hear them, calling for the truth.
I feel their pushing and pulling to know the real you.
Please lead me to see, hear and feel like you.

You are God
My air
My life
My Creator

Continue to light my path
Live inside of me
Speak through me
Use me Lord

Teach me
To live in your will for me
To walk like you
To love like you

I need you
I need a heart like yours
Please lead me to hear, see and feel like you
My creator
Use me Lord,
To reach the hearts of your People.

Love always,
Your Daughter.

Dear God

Dear God,
I thank you for being The Creator of all things
The All Mighty One, the King of Kings
Thank you for being all I could ever want or need
You heard my cry and answered my plea

I need you Lord
Cant live without you Lord
Foolish of me to think I could take one breath without you Lord

I need you Father
All of YOU
You are the air I breathe
Without you Father who would I be?

Lost without YOU
Empty without YOU
Broken without YOU

Thank you for never leaving me
Walking with me
Watering me
Molding me

You are my potter
I am your clay
Hold me Lord
Hold me Lord
Father, hold me.

Love Always,
Your Daughter.

You Kept Me

Friday, October 15, 2010

"LORD, YOU have been our dwelling place and our refuge in all generations". Psalm 90:1

It could of been me
No bed to sleep on
No door to shut
No room to breathe
No meal to eat
But You kept me

It could of been me
Hiding out
Trying to figure out
How to get a job
How to make ends meet
How to get off the street
But You kept me

It could of been me
With a dream to act on
Fighting for my education
Running from immigration
Praying for liberation
Just to be a citizen of this nation
But You kept me

It could of been me
stuggling with my identity
Being hated on because of homosexuality
Preyed upon by Christianity
Brutaly abused for being what I don't understand to be
But You kept me

You kept me from hunger
You kept me from pain
You kept me from poverty
You kept me from being a slave

You kept me from suicide
You kept me from danger
You kept me from corruption
You kept me from strangers

You kept me from the psych ward
You kept me from the battle of the mind
You kept me from loosing it
You kept me from being in a bind

For so long you watched over me
protecting
comforting
teaching
For so long, I know I'll always be
Thanking You for keeping.

You've kept me.

Show Me

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Lord
I need You to show me
What it is You want me to see
Open my eyes Lord
To Your truth
Open my eyes Lord
To Your will
Lord
I need You to show me
Here I am
Sitting still

Lord
what is Your will for me today
I need Your daily bread
I will do whatever You say
I only want to be led
By Your Word
By Your Spirit
By Your Counsel
I just need to hear it
So here I am
Sitting still
Lord please show me Your will.

You, me, and poetry

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

Woke up this morning feeling like I need more of You
My prayer life hasn't been on point
Lord, I'm just telling You the truth
I have so much on my mind sometimes
I don't know where to start
Closing my eyes
Folding my hands-scratch that
I'm coming from the heart
I write this poetry not for people to see
I write this poetry because it sets me free

You've given me a gift
And people may not understand
I don't write poetry just because I can
You made the blind see
You made the lame walk
You gave me poetry
And now I can talk
Communicate
Interact
And pray

Talk to You freely
Communicate independently
Interact knowingly
Praying fervently

You, me, and poetry
A divine connection
You, me, and poetry
Keeps me in subjection

Woke up this morning feeling like I need more of You
Woke up this morning just so I could write to You
