Take the Open Door
Looking for God’s will? And wondering still? Take the open door. With sin closing in Begin with a win Take the open door. What He opens no one Can close What He closes no one Can open. Whichever it is ’Tis His provision.

He Has Said
He has said
Should we not
Seek to know
What will make
For our peace
In this world
Here below
Much more than
Fine treasure
May we store
For that day
If only we’d
Imbibe daily
What He has to say.

You Get What You Want
You get what you want
In the end
What you’ve spent your life
Pursuing
Wrapping up what you’ve
been doing
Should you be surprised
When at last you realize
What you turned
A deaf ear to
You knew all
Along was true
But it was old
And stuffy
And offered
The surface
You could not
See behind
You get what you want
In the end
What you’ve been
Busy sowing
Decides what to you
Is owing
He was not beyond
Your knowing
But now beyond your reach
From your side of the breach
We were asked
To believe
The Word
Not our
Eyes
You traded
The plain truth
For satan’s
whispered lies.

Forever Him
In the days of lonely sorrow
Down dark stretches of tomorrow
Set your mind on things above
Forever Him
Forever love
Hemmed in by troubles large and small
Pressed and squeezed past any recall
Look to Heaven’s sweet release
Forever Him
Forever peace
Hung in tangled webs of madness
Look up from dead-ends of sadness
Choose instead His praise employ
Forever Him
Forever joy.

The Really Real
Filled up with longing
For the really real
The clock tick-tocking
Down until I feel
The earth beneath me
Spinning like a wheel
Stalking belonging
A creature by half
Shunning the taunting
And the cruel laugh
Me plus I is no-
thing- so says the math
Until I enter
Into the quiet space
And take the time
To take a breath
And give it back
In songs of highest praise
No longer half, I’m whole
Again.

So Much Depends
So much depends
upon
a bloodied cross
Kiss the Son
of the fiery gaze
And say
“YES”
to
Him
from
your heart
Don’t be
beside the goats.
