Your Love has kept me

When the day wears on, disturbed emotions it brings

When time trickles in, the cords of melancholy it sings

When the seconds become heavier, as the moment it passes

When life mocks you, its endless farces


A troubled spirit, a journey down trodden

Fate has it, it seems, all misfortune begotten

Tears roll down, your forever companion,

A lonely one, a lonely daughter of Zion


Temptation prowls on, its pleasures so fair

Sin dances her finest, twirls a beguiling lair

Chanting in melody, charming seduction

O’ to give in, fall into her slow persuasion


A suffocated body, emotions welled up

Desperate to break free, give up this cup

Tear down my mind, body and soul

I am before Thee, a drained out begging bowl


Gentle a glance, gaze down upon me

Withered am I, unheard moan, a distressed plea

Tears no more, there’s only so much

Your Word, Your promise, a feeble hand efforts to touch


Sent down Your angels, in tender care lifted me

Gathered together, placed safely in the bosom of Thee

Sight the Cross, pinned to it all my sin, grief and cry

The world’s was taken over, what was I?


His miracle He calls, If you were the only one

On the rough tree, I’d do for you, all that was done

Long before time began, I have loved you dear

Borne within Myself, I have cried your every tear


Your love for me is eternal, more than my life can behold

Your moments planned for me, in Your likeness to mould

Sheltered and protected, from life’s trial & strife

Your promise never to forsake, Your love has kept me.

The best sweethearts

I should wonder, and stop before I start

But then again, why again, I’ve had the best sweethearts

Should I shy before I begin

Curl the smile, give way, the slow dimpled grin

I’ve been the most fortunate.. oh wait

Perhaps more have they been, (I chuckle)

I watch you happy, flowing on guided by beautiful fate

I’ve prayed nothing less, in your life blessings sparkle

Amazing two, cherished relationships so few,

Was I fortunate to have the ‘bestest’ of loves

A rose petal kissed by soft, early morning dew

No endings perched in a ring, turtle doves

We’ve turned backed looked at images drawn in sands

We’ve smiled as the waves reached over

Took away time from our joined hands

Linger & cherish, the extra moment… we hover

Hearts of gold, He made them, dearer He holds

An upset me, over again, Father a story of old

I’ll question You, for what reason & need

Planted each time, new blooms from a love seed

How can you be, all in one, the most wonderful

The Master favored you, set you apart

And to Him I’m ever grateful,

Let you steal my heart
