A Love Prayer

Please help us fix the problems
in our world.
Please forgive Your people
for hurting each other.
Please forgive the tears
we’ve made each other shed.
Instead of showing anger and hate,
teach us to love,
as You have loved us first.
Help us to feed
those who have hunger.
Help us give a drink
to those who thirst.
Help us not to judge strangers;
to invite them in.
Help us to give clothes
to the less fortunate.
Help us to love and look after
the sick and needy.
Help us not forget
those in jail and hospitals,
for when we help another,
we are helping You

Your Sight and My Blind Eyes

I can run and try to hide,
but I can’t escape from your sight.
No matter where in this world I go,
There is nothing that you don’t know.
Please, Lord, protect and save me,
Open my blind eyes so I can see
the things in this world that remind me of you.
Take my life and show me what to do.
Sometimes there are moments I am afraid,
Even of things that You have made.
But I look at the colors of the world today,
You made their beauty, there’s nothing else to say

The World

Everybody
Always alone
yet always together
connected in all sorts of ways:
knowing each other,
experiences,
whatever.
Never knowing
always hurting each other
makes no sense
killings
for no reason
drugs
for no reason
suicides
for no reason
Why?

Turning Back Time

One minute
I’m sitting here.
Next minute
I’m somewhere else.
Where has the time gone?
I wish I could go back in time
and savor the moments I miss.
The pictures I look at.
I am so happy.
Why can’t I go back?
Way back…
to the time
I could sit back and have fun.
I am older now
and I miss being a kid.

Life: The Story

Life is a bunch
of words
scribbled down
in a book.
Some are confusing.
Some are clear.
But all of them
makes up
a story of
someone's life.
God is the author.
I am the living person.
We are the living people.

Concert Anticipation

Surrounded by God's children
We are waiting
waiting for the silence
to be broken by a guitar
a singer
a band
Christian lyrics
We are waiting 
waiting for the light
the light of God
to shine down on us
to show us the way
We are waiting 
waiting for a feeling
a feeling that God is with us
God is watching over us
We are waiting 
waiting for you

Life

Destinations sometimes
ruined by temptations.
Made but
difficult to reach.
Goals set for the race,
ran with perseverance,
never to run out.
God, always watching…
Believe and
He will make your path straight.
Pain and hurt
shall cease forever.
Broken heart
remade and renewed.
Saved.
Every broken heart will
remain beautiful and whole.
Stand firm in your faith.
God loves you.
His love is like an ocean,
the tide never stopping but
always going on
forever and ever for eternity.
The storms and hurricanes
are the heartaches of life.
It takes
courage and strength
to go out into a storm
just like a storm in life,
never knowing what
tomorrow will bring.
But the tide still goes on,
no matter how bad
the storm is.
When the storm is over,
the sun comes out
reminding us that
the light of Jesus
will never be overcome
with darkness or storms.
The sunset on the ocean
declares His glory
and wondrous works.
Every time you
bathe in the water,
you are pouring out
your heart to Him.
God is our refuge.
Faith, hope and love
always are there.
Love is the
greatest gift of all.
There is no fear in love.
