I heard my name called in the early morning rising,
a call to prayer or an action to take I am surmising.
There was no accompanying dream I can recall;
it was the voice of a man and no vision at all.
...
The Season's fast arriving;
For what are we striving?
Gifts are sought
and bought.
...
O Holy Spirit, you teach me many things
About what your Divine nature brings.
You are the Love between Father and Son
O Triune God, truly Three in One.
...
My beloved, who do you say that I am?
Do you believe that I AM The Pure Lamb?
Are you blinded or do you truly see
...
As I ponder the beating heart of our Father,
The image pulsates within my mind's eye,
And I wonder why He ever thought of me;
With thankfulness I breathe a prayerful sigh.
...
Why the torture, why the pain?
What on earth is there to gain?
By inflicting vicious evil thought
Even though it is all for naught
...
I have need of you, Lord, this day;
Please hear my heart as I pray.
Listen to what my words cannot say;
I have need of you, Lord, this day.
...
Your nail-scarred hand I see before me as you gently approach
And I take your hand and bring it softly to my cheek
Then lovingly and compassionately kiss the wound,
The wound you suffered for love of sinners such as me.
...
O Father, Your Presence is what I desire;
Do Thou fill me with Holy Spirit Fire.
Without you I am lost and afraid;
...
Let every God fearing nation's flag furl
Representing freedom, a valued pearl
Paid for at the expense of battles fought
Peace, under God, be what is wrought.
...
