Life's Battles

Am I starting to not care anymore?

Children taken as spoils of war

Still breaks my heart...a little.

Enough to pray...a little.

Storms come and storms go

To make my soul weary,

So my life is no longer light and breezy.

Prayers go up...but they're not easy

To maintain.

So my heart begins to complain.

Then I'm reminded,

That when life's battles are no longer fought

Here With Me

Sometimes I feel like a soul that's forever searching.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find the light.

a golden rule given to sum it all up.

But we seem to want something complex instead,

Egypt

Leaving Egypt behind to follow the God

Who set you free.   Humbling... frightening...

To those accustomed to the yoke of slavery;

Because in the comfort and misery of bondage

There is not much need for faith.

Rhyme And Reason

There is a reason for my life.

With each new season, I search for it...

It is not in what I may somehow achieve.

It is only that....  I believe.

Every Now And Then

My heart is not the same.

It is worn and torn,

But every now and then

I feel it beat...

And I know

That You're still there.
