Discovering

Two young lovers
intimate to be
out to discover
each other
and Thee

Set on an island
next to the sea
lost in the beauty
an Emerald in the sea

Towering rocks
formed from the deep
stair step to Heaven
right out of the sea

A path leading upwards
one step at a time
climbing and climbing
what discoveries they'll find

Two young lovers
one taking lead
trust has the other
the way it should be

caught in a picture
a moment in time
etched forever
in both of their minds

Two young lovers
intimate to be
out to discover
each other
and Thee.

Richard.

Heart felt words

I look to You O' Lord
Follow Me is Your call.
I look to You O' Lord
To follow You I will fall

Touch me and give me strength
Renew me day by day
To You I look for everything
Lead me on Your way

Giver of Life
Lover of my soul
I can't wait for the consummation

I'm eager to go home
A place I've never seen
A place I've never known
Deep within me groans

A yearning to be with You
That's where I call Home
Until that day I look to You
I'll follow best I can
Depending on Your Grace for that
Always holding Your hand

What will consummation be like
How will that all play out
As long as it's with You my Lord
I don't have a single doubt

Glorious, Wonderful
Exciting to say the least
Words can't compare
The Glory there
At the Wedding Feast.

Mountains out of mole hills

Making mountains out of mole hills
That's what I've done
It all became clear
In the Colorado sun

Standing before me
A daunting task
The peak of Mt. Quandary
at the heart of the task

Looking for God
every step of the way
I continually kept asking
Why am I here today

What will You show me
am I here for them
the questions kep[t coming
all directed at Him

Higher and higher
I continued to climb
stopping to marvel
at His Grand design

being filled up
to take a few more steps
turning around again
to breath in His breath

Little by little
for much of the day
I slowly continually
made my way

The Summit was beautiful
The climb down was tough
all the time I kept asking
what's really up

Sleep was most welcomed
the pain set deep within
I woke to the question
I'd been asking of Him

What do You want to show me
Show me the way
I'm here and I'm listening
I've got all day

Later that afternoon
It all became clear
I'd been making mountains out of mole hill
for many many years

The mountain was daunting
a grueling task
but I'd made it up there
riding on His back

If He would take me to those heights
What do I have to fear
The mountains I'd made of mole hills
suddenly disappeared

I ride with more confidence than ever before
My strength been renewed in Him
I'm trusting Him more

Away from the mountain
I did take
a new sense of dependence
Thank You God for Your Grace
Mountains out of mole hills

Richard.
