I Gaze Upon the Promise

I gaze upon the promise.

Do hearts, true, perceive?

Unsure if valiant words,

Their brave joust reveals

To unsuspecting souls

The measure of His time

Defying passing moments.

Alone, but never lonely,

My words spin and weave

Winsome web alluring.

I gaze upon the promise.

Does my heart, true, perceive?

Humble

Foolish I look and foolish I stand

As my words, earnest, fumble.

The right thing?  Lord, I pray

Your honest Word keeps me humble;

Sets me true on arrow's way,

To mend the aching hearts that stray

Upon a path I once thought clear.

Not sure, I am, pointing the way

For those, in heart, I hold so dear.

Yet, they are here, calling, calling,

But with You, I don't fear falling.

Reassured that You are near,

I will continue, even here,

And trust, though my heart breaks.

Your love will grant me all it takes

To play the fool and make the fumble;

All it takes to make me humble.

Footprint

Walking with the two in cool of evening

Eve and Adam naked, hearts at one

With yours.  Father, Friend, Creator, who

Declared Creation 'good' when it was done.

Walk among us, heaven's feet on earth.

Bring your kingdom though we fall and fail.

Leave within our hearts the only footprint

Worthy.  May, through us, Your love prevail.

Love Divine

Upon whose coattails have I ridden

And who has ridden on mine;

Because by grace we dream same dreams

Inspired by love divine?
