                     Clenched Fists

                   In the sight of God,
                I close up,clench my fists
             Not to give in to my temptations,
              To give in is to surrender all my
               Hate,My anger and my pain
    To lose control,give him my power,my control.
     Which is slowly uncontrollably slipping away
        My fists grow tighter,sweatier,angrier
                 Jesus waits, is patient
             as I'm slowly losing control.
        He approaches,holds me comforts me,
          Jesus cares for me! He understands!
              he feels my sorrow, my pain,
                        He listens,
                   then I learn to listen
                  My palms slowly open
                     He is in control

"I do not know how it may please God to give you the quiet of mind that you need, but I tell you that I believe it is to be had;and, in the meantime, you must go on doing your work,trusting in God,even for this!"-George MacDonald

          Truth Unseen
         
          And can it be that in our time,
          We fathom out the truth unseen,
          When meaning seems to ebb away,
          From every place where truth has been?
          And shall the dream of life divine,
          Now brightly shine,or cease to thrill,
          When some in fear build fortress high,
          Above earth's deep confusion still?


          Bring me the verb of blazing grace!
          Bring me the noun as yet unknown!
          Bring me a sign! O life retrace!
          Bring flame from all life is thrown!
          I shall not rest from question's frown,
          Nor answer smile 'til earth embrace;
          And every fear is molten down,
          When earth sees glory's hidden face.      
 
          
          Now this the wisdom, this the song,
          This the hope shall free our age,
          For this the way all journey long,
          Released from ancient scripture's page.
          This truth indwells! This grace invades!
          This voices invites- Come,hope inhale!
          Come earth, live now in Christ's own breath,
          Christ's presence shines beneath earth's veil.
