A Baby Leapt That Day

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Mary’s welcome blessing at the door
Elizabeth’s utterance, a prophecy of power
A privilege and honour
An understanding
Knowing the precious gift, was brought to her

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Mothers greeting each other in joy
In Love and innocence
Dreaming of days of happiness
Unaware of the sorrows to come
Or the gifts of joy they hold for all the world

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Great favour was upon them
Two precious children
still in their mother’s wombs
One the Prophet beheaded by a King
The other a suffering servant destined to be a King

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Two highly favoured ladies
Miracle carrying, Sisters of the Spirit
Bearing gifts for the world
One to point to the other
One to redeem the world upon a cross

Glimmers of Hope:

Hope:

A feeling of anticipation and desire for a sure thing to happen to us

A possibility, a glimmer a spark that can grow, something to yearn for.

A real Belief that something will happen.

A symbol of something that brings us together,

a rainbow after a rainstorm or flood.

A poppy in November, a star at Christmas and a Cross at Easter!

A unity that entails we are in it together, and we stand together.

A march for a cause to bring about change, a belief in fairness!

We sometimes see a little glimmer of hope, in the people around us,

In a smile or a wave from a loved one or a little child smiling and looking through innocent eyes.

Hope is seeing people fight for what is right.

Hope is seeing people change other’s perceptions.

Hope is being rooted in the kind of God we believe in.

Hope is believing in the grace of God and being affectionate towards one another.

Hope is Imitating God in our lives, removing the darkness of our past and receiving the love offered.

Hope is not giving up and keep trying for change, pushing forward and believing that things will happen.

Hope is celebrating the losses and the wins because we have hope.

Black lives matter, and one day we will sit down together at the table of friendship and hope.

And we will not need hope anymore, because no one will be judged by the colour of their skin or the country of their birth. We shall be judged by the content of our character and the example we lead to others.

Be still and know

I often feel like I am running around like mad man

Trying to juggle the things that happen day by day.

Things running around in my head at a thousand miles an hour.

BE STILL AND KNOW

The wordpool of my mind says I can’t hold it all in

Faster, faster quicker, quicker things come in. They come and I don’t know what to do.

Stop the world I want to get off.

BE STILL AND KNOW

Plates are spinning life is swirling, whirling and turning, so fast all is a blur!

They are going to fall!

Fall to the floor and smash to the ground broken unable to be put back together.

BE STILL AND KNOW

Am I being pulled apart, broken and poured out spilled to the floor!

Lost and spilling through the cracks of life.

Never to be the same again.

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW

Stop Bang Crash!

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!

So I Stop what I am doing!

I Quit trying,

I Quit fretting,

I Quit panicking,

I Quit fussing,

I Quit resisting.

I am still . . .

And I know that you are God. .  .

I trust that You know what you’re doing with Me

And I am in awe or you. . .

I am Resting in your arms of love. . .

I am still and know that I am with God. . .

Grace Rhythm.

LORD, let us move to the rhythm of your Grace,

And to be intimately open to you,

To recognise your spiritual call on our lives,

And to travel together in mutual respect.

Discerning the movements of your spirit together.

And to follow the leadership of your loving spirit.

LORD, help us learn from our mistakes.

Let us be honest with ourselves

May we learn to put the past behind us;

Then remember not to do it again

May we know that we will make mistakes?

But be humble when we stumble in your ways.

May we ponder the path of our feet?

But, give us the assurance of your way

So we are sure that every choice that we make,

Will be in the pursuit of you.

LORD.

Amen.

It’s all about you!

It’s not about me LORD, it’s all about you!

You are the one who has made me,

Sculpted me, molded made me in my mother’s womb.

Your wonderful and glorious plan,

Has been set out for me before I was conceived.

It’s only in your will that I am made,

Only in your will that I am free!

For in you all things are created

In heaven and here on earth.

Your powerful hand makes all.

And I LORD bow down to you,

And offer to you my all,

I lift my hands high to you as a sacrifice

I give you my heart, my mind and my life,

The very all that I am!

I surrender all to you.

Amen.

23 Degrees!

LORD! Your love is set at a perfect 23,

Such a small amount of a sum, perfectly set perfectly made.

This means everything for me.

For some it means nothing,

Nothing at all unless you look and wonder why 23.

 

For other like me it means everything.

For this worlds is set at a perfect 23 degrees,

Nothing more and nothing less.

One more degree and all would be lost!

No life no you and no me,

 

All because of you! And a prefect 23.

Thank you LORD, for your perfect 23 Degrees.

LORD you can give and take away:

Eternal GOD I worship you!

I stand before you and worship in your presence.

You provide all that I have and will ever need.

I came in to this world naked and without possessions.

Enter as a baby from my mother’s womb with nothing.

You have held me in your arms ever since.

As I have walked out in my life you have been with me.

 

Thank you O LORD my GOD!

I would be lost with out you; I remember that you are my GOD.

LORD you can give and take away:

Bless you name, give praise to my provider.

The one who should be magnified in worship?

All honour to and power to your name!

Thank you O LORD my GOD.

 

Amen.

I have Lost My Way?

Lord why am I feeling like I am.

I have lost my way?

I don’t know which way to go.

I am searching for feelings,

And answers that I know are within my reach.

I just can’t find the words or thoughts.

I need to Jump but which way? I don’t know!

Is it that I feel comfortable with you?

Walking the same paths doing the same old things,

Never reaching out for your hand to guide me?

I know that I catch glimpses of you calling to me;

But I never follow you, am I afraid?

I hold back from you and hesitating,

Am I worthy of you love?

At least this is what I try and tell myself,

I don’t want to know your truth.

Lord why am I feeling like I am.

I have lost my way?

I don’t know which way to go.

I am searching for feelings,

And answers that I know are within my reach.

I just can’t find the words or thoughts.

I need to Jump but which way? I don’t know!

So I pile up my life like a wall piece by piece,

Never letting any one know how I really feel, keeping myself apart.

Except that this wall also stops me from moving forward.

Walking down new paths and experiencing new things.

I pile up my life like a wall piece by piece and build a house.

And pull all that I hold dear to my side to keep them safe.

Am I holding them back too?

No one can get in or out, nothing moving but safe.

So I sit on the floor in my house full of tears waiting for you Lord.

Lord why am I feeling like I am.

I have lost my way?

I don’t know which way to go.

I am searching for feelings,

And answers that I know are within my reach.

I just can’t find the words or thoughts.

I need to Jump but which way? I don’t know!

How my soul just cries to everyone to help me get up off the floor.

When I think about you Lord and how we used to be together;

The paths that we walked and the things that we have done I find
new hope.

I look for you in my despair and you are there calling to me with arms open.

You give me strength to face the world afresh.

I am not holding back now I let you in I open my door to you.

And with new found strength,

I slowly begin to remove the walls that surround me.

And make new paths with you, to walk in your ways.

Lord I had lost my way?

I don’t know which way to go.

I searched for feelings,

And found answers that I know are within my reach.

I found the words and the thoughts.

I needed to Jump and I jumped your way.

And when I realize and look inside myself,

I find that it was me and my pride that has been holding me back.

Pride that doesn’t want to follow your ways

Or to take your gifts that will set me free.

Feelings of no worth that were eating away at me.

I am strengthened and renew my trust in you.

And I start to realize the gifts and riches that you offer,

I am moved to do nothing else but to accept them and walk with you.

Amen.

Speak Lord

Speak to me Lord your servant listens.

I stand in your holy presence, listening

You whisper sweetly in my ear and I hear you.

Your commands are good and right.

 

I follow and I am blessed.

I am happy to do your will.

You never give me false words.

Never lead me down the wrong path.

 

You have a plan for me.

Always giving me your counsel.

Listening to my deeds and woes;

never condemning always listening,

guiding me in your ways.

 

Amen

I am unclean.

I am unclean.

I am not worthy to enter in your presence,

Turn your face from me do not look at me.

You can see in to my heart and mind.

Turn from me and let me be cast away.

This is how bad I feel.

 

Forgive me.

I have sinned in thought word and deed.

I have not listened to you again.

Gone my own way with out your blessing

I have left you for my own selfishness.

I am sorry

 

Forgive me and turn your face to me.

May I see your smile again?

You know that I am sorry,

And you know that I am you child.

As a father you look at me,

you call me to your side and forgive me.

You let me sit by your site and give me your peace.

 

Amen
