you spoke to me when the night fell blue..
and every morning you filled my heart with a word of love,
and all the beautiful things that you desire..
all the beautiful things that this world cannot give you..
tonight my world is filled, with a trails of lights,
airport gates and flight delays, somber faces
and lost luggage, and the scene of a new embrace for heart
that returns for love...
It is in the quiet spaces of my day
that I find myself longing for you,
for all the beautiful things that you give me,
for all the beautiful things that I desire...
for just the beautiful things...

Fall

I am trying to find the fall,
the subtle colors of autumn, the summer is
dying and winter is beginning..
I am trying to find the friends that live,
love and laugh their faith..
I am hoping for the best but finding just
the silence of a autumn nights shower..
I plead to God if this is my station in
life then make it so, then fill me with the
sense that this is real, not some made up
fantasy I've created in my mind..
I pray for the closeness of heaven and maybe
the touch of a gentle hand on my shoulder, the
embrace of someone so close and not so far away..
maybe this only makes sense to me, but to close off
and fall back is not me really, especially in this
season of my life..

Thinking
I'm thinking, I'm thinking, I'm thinking too much..
I am feeling everything, everywhere all the time,
I am so close to trouble, and I am in fear of losing again..
I think of heaven, and it's not near me now..
I am face down on a hot Texas street..
thinking, thinking... waiting for my thoughts to turn to prayers..
waiting for my spirit to catch up to my soul...

Life Scripture

I will always know life as simply as this scripture so greatly put it..
Galatians 2:20 (The Message)
19-21 - What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that.
Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.
