Bees, Bugs and Butterflies
.
As I watch the sun
Breaking through the clouds,
As I smell the rain
Soaking in the soil,
Dripping from the flowers,
The birds burst into song.
Let the naysayers be wrong;
The world is alive again,
Saved from the brink,
And no matter what we think
God is in His heaven.
Bees buzz,
Shiny beetles eat rose petals
And butterflies flutter by…

Water
.
Water gives life
And with it, we thrive
Cleansing, drinking
Its forms are many
Almost unending…
Rivers, lakes, seas
Even the tears we weep
As promises we make
And vows we keep
Or fail in our humanity
Whilst perfection we seek

Help
.
O Lord, our Father
Only You can change this earth
From negative to positive
Let us construct not destruct
Advance not retreat
Back and forth and round about
You are our axis
Nothing stands still
This world whirls around your wlll
Open our eyes to realise
We are nothing without You
You are the sun, the moon, the stars
You are creation, and all is in motion
To bring us back to You

Complete

You are my strength in weakness
You are my comfort in sorrow
Yours is the wisdom that I follow
You died on the tree to complete me

Escaping the Abyss
,
A bottomless pit
Is where I’m at
A deep well leading down to hell
I claw feverishly at the wall
And cry for help with a soundless voice
Bounded by silence
Black as pitch, absorbent hush
Rain runs barefoot down my neck
Soothing all pain along my back
I feel fingers reach down my arm
Leading me, guiding me
Upward, onward, safely
Far, far away from harm

GOD revealed
.
The decision was always His to make
The steps were ever His to take
And Jesus Christ was born of man
God revealed in His own plan
In flesh and blood he could relate
He gave His all for love of us
Suffering torment on the cross
He was no figment to still man’s need
Of a saving grace or creed
But the unadorned and newborn babe
Come to earth to conquer death
Hail to Thee O King of kings
All hail to Thee O Lord of lords
Our glorious God is now revealed

O God, King of all kings,
King of all things under the sun
Since life begun,
You mould me like clay
Of which I am made,
But what have I done ~
I am but a tool for Your use,
A nail in Your cross,
The wood for Your saw,
And I always fall short.
Perfection is Yours for the taking,
Yours for the making.
I fail to preach what You teach,
Help my soul to reach,
To touch the hem of Your cloak
To provoke Your healing hands.

The star-studded blanket of night
Lay warm in the silver moonlight
Then slowly unravelled row by row
While the cock kept watch for the sun
And lifted his head to crow
Saying ‘Hello’ to the new-born morn.

Looking through God’s window
At the earth below
Wide-eyed at the beauty
Lost to man’s neglected duty
Sorrow for the morrow
When we’ll have to beg and borrow
Food and drink and air to breathe
Nothing saved ~ we disobeyed
Destroyed our earthly paradise
Right before our very eyes
Care-less, thought-less, heed-less greed
And avarice beset our needs
Is it too late to turn the tide
We have nowhere else to run and hide…

I heard Him call my name
And I joined in while the
Whole world sang his praise
From the east to the west
From the north to the south
In the earth and sky and sea
Glory, glory hallelujah
Glory, glory hallelujah
Blessed be He who rules
.
Open your eyes and see
Open your ears and hear
Open your heart and feel
His love for us is real
