" I go to the Rock "

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
 Psalms 61 : 2
I sat upon this rock with my children and viewed God's work in nature .
I sat upon this rock and prayed .
I sang on this rock and realized ,
'Jesus loves me this I know ,
because the Bible tells me so ',
is one of the greatest songs ever written .

And as I sat there that Sunday afternoon ,
This phrase took root in me ,
The greatest apologetic term there is ,
" But the Bible says ..."
For God Himself will prove it .

Heartbeat

'Heartbeat'

Do I feel any less
since we haven't talked yet
is my heartbeat OK
since we've already met

my eyes soon will meet yours
though I need to stay here awhile
But when they finally meet
it will be with a smile

I already know your voice
and so does God above
I can't wait to hold your hand
I know the warmth of your love

So please keep me safe
and take care of yourself
I can hardly wait
to see you myself

Gravestone Angel



































Grant me the peace
of a gravestone angel
When the storm clouds
roam across a mountainside

Grant me the grace
of the angel's wings
as troubled winds
begin to rise

     How many times have I fallen
     How many times will my spirit stand

Grant me the peace
of a gravestone angel
When tears run
from my eyes

Grant me the grace
of the angel's wings
When my voice
begins to cry

   How many times have I fallen
   How many times will my spirit stand

Grant me the peace
of a gravestone angel
Weathered but true
all the days of my life

Grant me the grace
of the angel's wings
'Til Heaven's view
the Glory of His Light


("Thomas Wolfe's Angel," now at Oakdale Cemetery in Hendersonville, North Carolina. )
