Silky, savory petals
Like the hand of God,
Delivering peace and lovingkindness
To those who choose to see,
Draping blooms,
Colors extraordinaire,
Like the shawl of His grace,
Covering each blade, unhinged,
Where His compassion, forever fathomless,
Follows us till the end.
So how do we
Put to rest
The endeavor
Of a soul?
For it will endeavor
In its pleasures,
Work, knowledge and success,
As nonstop streams
Discover boundless seas,
Wearying
Our hearts,
Longing satisfaction,
Upheaving
Senses,
Far beyond their fractions
A grievous task
Afflicted to men,
How do I
Put to rest
The endeavor
Of my soul?
It’s not something
That comes
Naturally,
Abiding in Him
And granting Him glory,
Even though life
Has mounting
Disappointment,
As the union
With His Spirit,
Is more than life,
Him arranging
Delightful trysts,
Making life
A joy to be in,
All for His glory,
Faith in His wisdom
For the rest of my soul,
To sit in God’s love
Is to reframe your mind and heart,
Moving away from its desires
Moving towards its deepest desire,
The longing of His presence,
Recounting His grace and love
As seen through gifts from above,
Thankfulness
For the simplest of things,
Is to sit in His love
A shining Light
Comes from the Most High
Parting the way
For His glory today
Take heed to His whispers
For in them He ministers
Embrace His miracles
Overflowing as spiracles
Watch as His mystery
Unfolds your victory
Praying for missionaries
Around the world
They are frontrunners
Of His call
Praying for their hearts
To be profoundly filled
By His lovingkindness
As they are in conditions
That zap the soul
Fellowship hard to find
As they reach other people groups
In outer limits
Refresh their heart
As a cool breeze
Giving life to rejuvenate others
Drawing them to the upper room
And fellowship with You
He planted the moon
He planted the stars
He even planted trees on this earth
He wanted us to be reminded
Of who He is
One who performs miraculous deeds
His character loving, giving
Grace filling
Painting skies
Calling souls to awe
Aromas delivered
Relieving tensions, uplifting
Planets and stars placed
So amazing, grander than imagined
Nature, full of life
Captivating hearts, heavenward
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is He
We are nest builders
We pursue things
That give us comfort
We gather people
That support us
We pick items
That give us order
We develop events
That help us escape
How desperate we are
To quickly build
Haphazardly anything
That makes us feel better
What God has for us
Is incomparably better
If we would just
Wait
He will deliver
Nothing you might expect
But comfort you
It will
Fill that void
More than you do
He is our preeminent
Nest builder
That is lavish
With His love
Clickety clack
The sounds of the track
The rhythm of the cars
One by one
Riding the rails of life
With God
Clinging to His lovingkindness
As each stop
Calls my name
My desire
Choosing to stay on-board
But my weakness overcomes
My breath taken away
Undetected
Learning each city
One by one
Roaming the streets
Yet once again
His compassion so grand
Greater than ever imagined
Calling all aboard
Turning from what
Snatched my heart
Escaping once again
Into the bosom of God
His heartbeat comforting
Reminding me of what’s good
God knows
The budding plan
Of today
Each petal of time
Opens opportunities
For new beauty
Some stages
Not so lovely
Until observed
After all growth
Has emerged
This is the week
That professes
Our faith
The week
That profoundly
Changed man’s destiny
If he chooses to believe
The week
Where those against His form
Thought they could control
The outcome
Unbeknownst to them
God meant it for good
The solution for
Man’s separation
From the Holy One
The chasm created
Because of his sin
Jesus Christ
The Perfect One
Died at their hands
Yet was part of God’s Sovereign plan
Shedding His blood
To pay the price
Once and for all
No longer a need
For endless sacrifices
Now that life giving blood
Of the sinless One bled
Redeeming man’s soul
To be present
With Him
Causing such delight
In the Father’s heart
Jesus sits at His right
Over all creation
