Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy power withstand,
None can pluck me from Thy hand.
Jane E Leeson 1842

Prayer
I look to thee
My Lord, my God
I pray to thee
My source of trust
I ask of thee
Thy help and grace
And when my days are lived
I long to see thee
Face to face
Please help me, Lord
I pray
Forever
Forever I will believe
Always will I know
That I have placed my all
In thy caring hand
My hope is in thy
Eternal land
Thy Grace
I feel my heart’s deep need
From thy love I thirst to feed
I kneel before thy throne of grace
Lifting my eyes to see thy face
Prayer through Poetry
When I clasp my hands to pray
And prayers are whispered in poetry
My heart reveals itself to thee
The One who, in mercy, created me
Long Road Ahead
Driving along an empty road
Wondering what lies ahead of me
Hoping there will be strength
And more to spare
To carry me to that place
Where I am meant to be
Light After Dark
There is no hope in this world so dark
Guard the treasure in our hearts
For we pass through and then are gone
Create our testimony with the words we speak
And live for a country unseen
I have no hope in what I see
My hope is for eternity
I believe in light beyond the night
Human Nature
Human nature-
When self rises up
And fights to overtake
This battle being fought
When flesh and spirit wrestle
To dominate, my will is my own
To do as I please, my spirit as a
Gentle pure dove longing for true
Righteousness, I fight this battle on
My knees until finally I can take no more
I submit to Thy will and Thy tender
Grace
Lavender Fields
In fields of lavender and green
I feel my soul’s deep need of Thee
I close my eyes and allow all calm
To wash me clean and make me whole
Melody Of Love
I close my eyes as I start to type
Allow the feelings that would surround
Feel the words escape my soul
Like water flows from an open tap
Words start to trickle from my mind
Slow at first, what story do I have?
Until I tap into that place
Where words would be, and thoughts and heart
The essence of my very soul
I hear the rhythm, feel the rhyme
It is a song surrounding one
I want the music to carry on
Sound surround and deafen airs
For I am safe when I reach that source
Of peace and love and harmony
Around, outside, only fear and strife
Pain and sorrow, fear and loss
But in that secret place
When I do connect, sweet melody
There is love, the only love
There could be for me
