His spirit is the fire within my eyes,

A radiant dancing soul aflame,

The power of life brought through death,

One heart stopped so that others might flow.

Boundless love within, without sin,

Like a river rushing, raging,

Brushing the tears from my eyes.

His words whispered in my ears,

I love you,

I live for you,

I died for you,

You’re forgiven.

You worthy one, your pains undone

I free the bondage of your deceitful mind,

To release your soul, to hold your heart,

To brush your lips with words of joy,

With the gift of praise,

Songs sung by the glory of day,

Never, my child, will I go away.

I see my God

Through dance, through art,

Through music, in words,

In fact everywhere I turn my eyes

Your presence is alive.

Oh my God, my love, my destiny

I bow to you on bended knee.

You gave me life, then life again,

I am your servant, yet you called me friend.

I see before me sons and daughters,

I see your beauty in skies and waters.

A world made whole, a vision grand,

A garden lived in , until sin broke it apart,

Creating a brand new role for man,

For woman, for Earth as a whole.

A long time lived without the Spirit,

Until Christ came we weren’t even near it.

But lo arrived that Glorious day,

You came to us dressed as a man,

To teach, to love, to give your life

Nails in your hand.

A life ended, you risen, then ascended.

The curtain was torn between You and me

And finally God you let us see.

The depth of your love, the strength of your heart,

Your word, your wisdom,

Your desire for me.

When I cried for you, you took my hand,

And You died for me as the final lamb.

Take me Lord into your arms,

I feel your breath soft and warm,

In the breeze, through the trees,

In deepest waters, on mountain high,

In the songs of birds, in the night sky,

In a mothers words, in a fathers eyes

Your ways, your means, all truth, so wise.

I lay, oh Lord, at your feet,

My heart wide open, my soul laid out

Without a doubt, as I shout,

“Father! Jesus! Oh Spirit Holy!

Take me now, for I am yours fully!

You conquer fears,
You dry my tears,
I will not let my needs be idols.

You calm my heart,
Your love imparts
joy in all your children's smiles.

I fly free,
Your life in me,
breaks the chains of earthly bonds.

Your grateful eyes,
they can not lie,
You fill my soul with heavenly songs.

In my dreams you talk,
to encourage my walk,
I can not sing enough in praise.

Our relationship true,
so I pray to you,
hold me close until the end of days.

Piece of Peace


Peace lie down,
rest your gentle head upon my shoulder,
sing to me of joyful tears,
laugh with me like rushing waters,
live in me and fill my spirit,
love with me until I hear it.
Sweet songs of life,
inside my heart,
wanting nothing but your arms
wrapped around me like a father,
holding on in deepest water.
I feel no shame,
I hide no fear,
wandering footsteps upon the Earth,
drinking deep from your endless fountain,
from ocean bed to snow capped mountain.
Glory, glory in your name,
I bow down to my saviour king.
I feel faint when you draw near,
blissful darkness full of light,
soaking life from your great might.

Soul Float


Floating down the river
sunshine resting on my face
the stream is getting wider
my life a sacred place
I stretch my arms wide open
to gather in your rays
your ever warming presence
ever in my gaze
The smell of earthly odors
from air, earth, and water
awakens my longing senses
in the arms of my father
Slipping into the eternal
I close my eyes and smile
for in your holy name
I will drift my greatest mile

Placid Harbor








I run to Him
And not away,
Step by step, in full stride.

Taking life
Day by day,
From the light I shall not hide.

Winds of grace
Lead me home,
Sailing into Heaven’s harbor.

One more time,
My soul to roam,
Drifting on your placid waters.

The setting sun
Is someone’s morning,
Death to one is life to another.

All my sins
You were adorning,
Yet you loved me enough to call me brother.

Eye Yam






I am



a reflection in the



rippled waters



of a mountain lake.






I am



floating in the



Milky Way



a part of all stars.






I am



a drop of rain



in an ocean,



riding out the tide.






I am



a Redwood tree



tall and strong



swaying with the breeze.






I am



a lanterns flame,



shadows dancing,



from night to day.






I am



the autumn wind



through leafy chimes in trees,



of all colors and shapes.






I am



in God's garden



among the flowers,



amid the thorns.






I am



unique and beloved



to the One



who made me.






I am



therefore I think,



with a heavenly mind,



Earth but a shrine.






I am



alive and in love



with my gift



from my God.






I am



life in motion



emotionally driven,



baptized and forgiven.
