These poems are in order of when I wrote them.  All of them came out of my Living Room time with the Lord. I had never written a single poem before this, and whether you think they are good or not, I wrote them for myself, and to God.  For he is the true recipient of my adoration right now!


As I sit here, I wait on the Lord.
As I eat, I wait on the Lord.
As I drive, I wait on the Lord.

When I talk, I wait on the Lord.
Wherever I go, I wait on the Lord.

As I read, I wait on the Lord.

I wait on the Lord;
I wait for Him to come to me,
I wait for Him to heal me,
I wait for Him to love me,
I wait on the Lord.

As I sit here, the Lord waits for me.
As I eat, drive, or move, as I talk, clean, or read - - He waits for me.

The Lord waits for me;
 He waits for me to come to Him.
 He wants to heal me,
He already loves me,
He wants to show me, move me, be with me.
He wants me.

"Me?  Why Me?" I ask, and he says:"I LOVE you; you are mine. Come to me child, and I will heal you."

As I sit here, He says, "Come to me."
In everything I do, He says, "Come to me."

He waits for me.

(Is he waiting for you too?)




A Love Song from My heart...


Oh Lord, My God
My Amazing God!

It is for you I live.
How have you changed me? Why did you care?
From where did this deep love come?

I didn't want it. I couldn't trust you!
I hadnt been shown how. I didnt even know where to start.
Trust and love are earned I thought.

They aren't earned, you have given them freely.
You showed me your grace and mercy at work.
You gave me friends, Your Word and stories I needed to hear and share.
You allowed me to go slowly, at my own pace, but you never let me stray
for long.
You never gave up on me!

I was allowed to choose.  But choose I must!
You never forced me, but you wouldnt let me sit on the fence, either.
I HAD TO CHOOSE!

The choices?  You?  Or a life of sin?
Sin? Sounds good doesnt it.  Seems so easy. All the good things in life,
all the fun I could ever have, all the "joy" brought to mr?
Oh but SIN... leads to a cold, empty and broken heart.

You? So hard.  I had to obey you. Remain Faithful, LOVE you. Listen to you.
Obey your commands.  I had to "give up" so much! I had to care for other
and let them care for me???  NO way!  I had to TRUST you.
How could I do this? For years you led me, slowly, surely and look where
I am now!
You?  Ah the rewards of choosing you!

It is only through You, because of You and For You that I can truly
live, breath and become the woman YOU have created!

It is only by your mercy and grace that I learned to trust,
Ah that first step...
This heart which was broken, cold and seemed so unmendable.
You have been mending!

My God! My Lord! MY SAVIOR!

For you Lord are my Savior. You have saved ME in your loving and gentle
way! And with those gentle, but hard words.  My Amazing God who keeps
molding me and guiding me.  Even when I stumble and fall (as I do often).
You pick me up, dust me off, and take my hand.  You lead me HOME!
My loving Savior.
YOU ARE MY GOD!

I love you Lord! I give all thanks to you!  Amen.

(Have you chosen?)



A Prayer for Humility and Transformation.

Lord, humble me before you.
I see your greatness, I see your majesty,
And know you are Lord.
I ask for your forgiveness, and know it will be given.
Lord, humble I am before you.

Lord, humble me before you.
Christ, you sent to save me.
Your love for me abounds.
The sacrifice of the ages, that
I cannot truly comprehend.
A debt you have paid, a life
you have given.
Lord, humble I am before you.

Lord, humble me before you.
Trust you have given,
And all you ask is love;
Love for You and love for others.
I look for ways to show my love.
Lord, humble I am before you.

Lord, humble me before you.
I give you my thoughts to change.
I give you my hands to use.
I give you my lips for praise.
I give you my heart to transform.
I surrender to you my LIFE in exchange!
Lord, humble I am before you.
