Hush Your Heart

Like a doe of the morning

Gentle and peaceful Thou art

Approach Him with silence

And stillness of heart

Contemplate the beauty,

The majesty and grace

Of fairest Lord Jesus

As you gaze on His face

Hold out your hands to receive

The strength He imparts

To withstand the enemy’s

Fiery darts

Seek Him now

While He may be found

Hush your heart for His whisper

He is always around

Your soul’s longing

Is found in His care

Awake and arise
To meet with Him there

Mesmerizing Metamorphosis

Hanging from a sturdy leaf,
The caterpillar weaves
He curls and twirls
And spins himself within
A sleeping bag of green

In his crocheted cocoon,
He is no longer seen
But after not too long
(In other words, quite soon)
He stirs, from where he once was hiding

And now, surprisingly, behold!
A new creation has come to life
A butterfly, with wings for flight
The caterpillar is no more
He has been transformed
What a wonderous delight!

Go Beyond

Through the door

There is another world

A world beyond imagination

A lion, like a lamb,

Speaks gentle words to children

And those with faith like theirs

Who, by believing, 
Sees beyond

This lion, like all lions,

Is not safe,

Yet

Unlike any other

He is good; he can be trusted

He bears the scars of sacrifice

Though he is a king

Through the door

Go through the door

(Christ is the Door)

He is the King

He is good

“Follow Me,”

He says

Through the door

Come through the door

And go beyond
