Don't Leave 
december 22, 1998 

i fall to the ground
i lift my eyes up and wonder
Where You are, why You came
How Your love could still remain
Oh my heart was broken
And then broken anew
Broken for You

As the tears roll from my eyes
i feel both pain and joy inside
Your love envelopes me
But i just cannot see
i know You're all around me
Why can't i see or feel or hear?
These are my tears

Oh to die would be ideal
To go Home to see You Dad.
But i know that's not Your will for my life
So i will praise You O Lord,
With all of my heart
Though i walk in the midst of trouble
Lord you do everything for me
Lord your love remains forever
Oh don't leave me Lord,
Your child
Don't leave me Lord
Your child.
desperate need 
winter '00

all i wanted was to follow You
to do your will in it's entirety
though hard i try, i have failed
to listen yet again

and i am weak
oh I so i need

well i come to You once more
time and time
again
on my face, cry outloud
rescue me from my hand

but i am weak
oh Lord, so in need

my love is fleeting
my heart is needing
my soul is bleeding
i need You.
oh
my love is fleeting
my heart is needing
my soul is bleedfing
i need You.

oh i, am weak
and i'm so in need

so i come to You...
Enough
September 23rd, 2000

Loving Hands, cover my wounds,
i'm in pieces unsacrificed.
Groan, Spirit. Speak for me, O
Sweet breath of life breathe through me.
Why can't it be enough?

Dissatisfaction pierces as desire
Longs to unfold; to seek... to love... to hold...
i was bought at a price, this pain is not mine
To enjoy.   The words my aching heart won�t let go,
And bitter tears cloud my soul.
How can It not be enough?

Burnt offerings mock the Josiah within
As Black Emptiness and Longing become me.
Bruised knees and tired eyes
Wait for words to heal, yet Selfish Hands
Cover my ears.  O but how?
The flow knows not time but pain
Please, let it be enough.
in these times of trouble,
Lord you bring me peace.

Every hour,
Every moment,
You are with me.

As i walk down life's twisted paths
Lord, you bring me peace.

Every tear,
Every joy,
You are with me.
heartache
april 4, 2000

her heart, so impure
her tears like drops of blood
long for home
the message he brings is of love
but what is there here?
nothing but faces
empty faces.
masks cover her walls

with promises, short lived.
Whatever happened to home?
green grass & red cars
high hopes walking on cliffs
oh Lord she cries
Why put me here on this window-sill of shame?
like a child she grasps for
what she cannot attain.
So alone in this world where
love is but air.

Breathe in, breath out
eyes closed but for a moment she holds
the picture in her mind
Where tears become blood
and wash away...
i came to you with a heart full of pain
you took one simple look at me and wiped my tears away
with arms open wide
you drew me to your side and you said,
"Child, i've been waiting for you"

I'll be your shoulder to cry on
I'll be the one who'll never leave
come rest your weary head on me, child
...and worry no more
Events and circumstance
I cannot hide
Your light i want to shine through me
So as i walk
This road of life
Lord thank you for the peace you bring me
"And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" 

I was down and lonely
You picked me up and showed me life
There were times when all was laughter
Sometimes i laughed while my heart cried
I didn't know what i needed
If i had You in my life
But you wrapped me in your arms
And said, "child your heart is right"
Lord, Be

LORD, be my strength
Lord, be my light
Lord, be the love of my life
Lord, be my peace 
    LORD, be my strength
    Lord, be my conqueror
    Lord, be my fear and protector
    Lord, be my strength 
      little girl in Daddy's arms
      reaches out to heal the world
      never seeing danger 'till she's burned
      Lord, be my strength 
    LORD, be my light
    Lord, be all i see
    Lord, be the fire that becomes me
    Lord, be my light 
      as i walk this winding road
      with my blindness i see
      all that i could never dream to behold
      Lord, be my light 
    LORD, be my love
    Lord, be my one desire
    Lord, be the joy that fills my cup
    Lord, be my Love 
      thoughts of walking on alone
      blow harsh like coldest winds
      Bitter Lonelyness, draw me near to Him
      Lord, be my Love 
    LORD, be my peace
    Lord, be my calm
    Lord, be the hand my hope comes from
    Lord, be my peace 
      dark and narrow stretch for miles
      shivering afflictions, fear
      Lord, how am i to carry on...for years...
      Lord, be my peace 
LORD, be my strength
Lord, be my light
Lord, be the love of my life
Lord, be my peace
Lord, be my peace
Lord, be my...

You feel so far away,
Can't you see that I am with you?
You say no one cares
My heart pours out sympathy
You think no ones been there
I've suffered ten-fold

I feel your hurts
I know your needs
I've cried your tears
I'll hold your hand.
Hope

sometimes i fall
sometimes i'm weak
sometimes i cry
and for these i seek
at times i forget
but His love will not
forget me
sometimes i loose sight
there've been times i've lost
more
but always, oh always
His arms find me again.
I will be safe in His
embrace once more
this time I hope to
stay.
i'm not strong enough to fail
i'm too weak, too frail
i cannot survive in this world
of no hope.
of no home.
yet with Him by my side
and with Him in my
heart
i will not fail
isn't that what it says?
my heart tells me
as it cries
for joy
for pain
so i will seek
though sometimes i cry
though sometimes i'm weak
though sometimes i fall
to heavy hands
lifting mine of lifelessness

anger consumes my heart
you make me
wanna go too far
don't take me
into the deep, my scars
won't shake me
i want the peace from blood

selfishness still rules
my heart breaks
in the cage, too cruel
my flesh aches
how can ya hold me now?
my blood makes
everything slow down

falling to my knees in desperation
has it come to this once again?
blood mixed with tears and perspiration
can't i be broken?
can't i be broken?
Lord make me broken

how embarrasing it is to call again
my abuse of grace is blinding
breaking, i breathe but it's a struggle...
suicide
1992 or 3

fifty feet up the wind blows hard,
the pain is making me cry
the pain is deep inside of me
i jump
i fall
i die
Words of Praise
July 28, 1998

Are there even words that can come from my lips? Is it possible to proclaim a love so great, greater than life, greater than death.  Greater than the number of all the stars in the heavens.  Are there days when i do not feel your love?  I can no longer see a day without your hand guiding my heart, my eyes, how they long to see your face! Shining in glory above all.  Are there things i could desire that you ahven't already given me? What was so empty and meaningless before is now full.  And how is that?  Who am i, to have a life cast down? Who am i to be forgiven?  I am but dust formed by a loving hand into something beautiful.  By the same hand which put the sun in a sky of orange and violet in the evening.  I still cannot comprehend.  I wish to understand.  I wish to know you more.  Help me know you more.  you made me for a reason which i am only begining to uncover.  I am so feeble, so weak.  Break me, make me new again.

a sonnet for Maria...
12-00


humble heart before her smile does show
her mother's pride, a gleam in daddy's eye
this precious child will marry soon, her beau.
her heart was right, her faith looked to the sky.
but terror strikes again when crimson missed
disgusted family turns their eyes away
from lies; it can't be true she's never kissed.
alone and scared for answers she must pray.
with tears she looks to her true love who plans
to turn away; his heart will take the girl
with child, not his.  Somehow, they understand.
All fear and pain and joy and love unfurl.
          a cold and clear late eve, the babe is born
          the angels sing their glorias, no more shall morn.
