MORNING VISITATION

MORNING VISITATION

Early each morning,

I tryst with my Lord,

Entering His presence

To give glory to God.

Early each morning,

In worship and praise,

My penurious soul, 

Brims over with grace.

Early each morning,

My prayers are heard,

Seeking His wisdom,

I ponder His Word.

Early each morning,

Arrayed for the fray,

Showered with blessings,

I meet the new day.

CRY OF THE HEART

 CRY OF THE HEART

My personal experience after losing my firstborn baby girl, Keisha, at 14 months.

* He heals the brokenhearted
    and binds up their wounds. Ps 147:3

The prayer of desolation 
Rises from the heart
When agonizing sorrow
Rends the soul apart.

A prayer of wretched anguish
That ceaselessly implores
The God of all compassion
To comfort and console.

This plaintive prayer beseeches
God to grant relief -
Dispel the dreary sadness
The all-pervasive grief.

And just when all seems hopeless
God himself descends
*Gently touching every wound
The broken heart He mends.
