Jehovah Ra'ah

Jehovah Ra’ah



Jehovah Ra’ah, 

the Lord is my Shepard, 

may I let go and let You lead.

Lead me to live a balanced life

Remembering You’re at my side.


Chart my course Lord

To find time for those in need

Yet also time to rest in Your word.


Like an over watered tree 

With rotting fruit

I’m saturated by things

Of this world.

Cleanse me Lord

As You light my way.


God's love is reckless

God’s love is reckless


God’s love is reckless

For someone filled with fear.

This leaves me breathless

For I know God is always near.

The lord chases me

I am his child

His love sets me free

His love is great not mild.


God is...

 God is…


God is holy

God is infinite

God is good 

God is righteous

God is unchanging

God is faithful

God is just

God is gracious

God is merciful

God is loving

God is glorious

God IS.


Grace

Governing
Reverence

Costs

Costs


Bitter hoppy drink

Foam slides over the edge

Brought by an overworked mom

Caring for me more than her own


I drink but I don’t think

Of the cost to myself, to her, to children

What of my liver? What of my work?

Can I get you another?


Full bodied and malty.

She scrubs tables and takes orders,

her children lie in bed hungry

craving something hot and salty.


Bubbly in the head I drive

home to bed.

Instead another bartender

leaving for home ends up dead.


Love Letter

Love Letter


God is the author. 

I am the pencil.

With me He writes

A love letter to the world


Jesus's Love

Jesus’s Love


Jesus died for you.

Jesus died for me.

For our sins he was whipped.

Yet His love for us can’t be chipped.
