I felt inclined to start publishing some of my poems. I have been encouraged by kind words from friends, to continue working on poetry. I will do my best, through whatever abilities God bestows on me. I humbly offer a selection on this page, thank you for your interest.
These links will take you directly to the start of each poem on this page. This list will be updated when new poems are added.
Ode to God's Awesome Beauty
Awesome in might
Beautiful in sight
Creator of every day
Deservedly to thee we pray
Everlasting life you give
Full of love, you do forgive
Greater than the mountains high
Higher than the eagles fly
Insight unfathomable
Justice undeniable
Knowledge all encompassing
Love in us, thee compassing
Majestic beyond measure
None can grant greater pleasure
Opulent in giving blessings
Perfect without extra dressings
Quaint, in form of man, thee redeemed our fall
Resplendent, the only one truly above all
Savior to mankind
Timelessly to us, kind
Unchanging throughout the ages
Verily, true Word, in your Pages
Wonderful, your works are, to be praised
Xenial, by your goodness, our spirits raised
Yours, are we, for to glorify thee
Zealous we then, should always be
God's Faithfulness
Faithful, you give thy faith to us faithless
Thy sweet tender mercies, new each morrow
Graceful, you grant thy grace to the graceless
Beauty of thy face, away takes our sorrow
When we in daily troubles, disquiet feel
And in our dread, thy face forget to seek
Thy loving hand reaches, our hearts to heal
Helping our race, to win, each day each week
You lead us in our ways, by thy rod
Comfort we find, ne'er lacking, from thy staff
Always to remember, thou art our God
Who graciously leads us along right path
Thank you Lord for to always give us chase,
So we might grow, faithful to seek thy face
Waiting Rightly
Moment spent waiting, 'tis truly wasted,
For each is a gift, meant to be tasted-
Dwell thee not on, that which is yet to be;
For to enjoy the now, with right focus is key-
As we're gave, let dispensed time be spent well;
For in grave, no power, nor purpose dwell-
Ev'ry day, from our Lord God, indeed a gift;
Thus I say, we shall make our effort swift-
Highest goal, to give our great God glory;
To extol, 'til our heads be found hoary-
In such, chief end of man, duly achieved,
Hence we, by greater plan, never bereaved;
Haste not, vaunt not of thyself; cease from strife-
Waste not, want not; ours is abundant life!
God Holds Onto Us
No comfort to be found in works, no human pride:
How some usurp God's glory, to deride.
What blessed truth, that God holds onto us-
Trusting in His Word does enlighten thus;
Without such truth, all most hopeless we'd be-
For our natural flesh o' sin, would be,
All times, without end, swiftly against He;
To run far 'way, fast as feet may carry!
Blest be that none may boast, not we but He:
Keeps our souls, clutched in hand, threw away key;
Yes locked we be: eternal security!
Safe ever in God's hand, praise be from ye!
For we owe it all to God's great glory,
That His love and mercy, end our story!
