You now have such control over me
Causing my mind no longer to be free
All you have to do is call my name
And your voice causes my will to flee

My heart is shackled tightly to you
To the face, I desire always to see
All you have to do is to cast a look
And I hear your heart speaking to me

What magic your love has gently weaved
While causing my eyes to deeply believe
There is no other in this world like you
Not another woman whom I would need

I no longer belong to myself alone
Because to you, I have become a twin
And I will never seek to leave your side
Because my heart your love did win.

HE LIVES IN ME

My heart longs for
You in the deepest
recesses of an empty
mind…

Where there should be
thoughts, where there
should be dreams,

there is no glow

Your Spirit is far
from me, it has left
me and I am as an
abandoned child

Should I say that
I need You, but then
You know that for
You know all things

Let me have Your
Spirit with me
to light my way

Let me not do
a displeasing thing
to You whom I love

Let me live in You
each and every day,
as You live in me

That my life may always
taste and be blessed by
the fullness of Your
love.

(Written November 1976)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you feel alone, there
is One we can talk to and He
will listen to our prayers
and show us the path to a
better way to live our lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so
that in me you may have peace. In
this world you will have trouble.
But take heart! I have overcome
the world.”

2 Corinthians 4:6-7
Because the God who said, Out of
a darkness light shall shine, is
the One who shined in our hearts
to illuminate the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ.

A THOUGHT OF YOU DEAR

A thought of you fills
me deep within with a
shower of love each day

Filling my heart with
a sparkling joy which I
will seek daily in my
life to stay

What a thought it is I
find which brings, such
a lovely turbulence inside

For each thought lasts
many moments filling me
with such a joyous pride

I am reminded my love you
are just as lovely when in my
quiet times on you I would
dream

Because what lives deep in
my mind is just as lovely
as the reality my eyes daily
see

It’s wonderful to have such
living memories inside during
the moments when I am not
near to you

For the blessings of love you
have given to me will always
chase away any sad lonely blues.

(May 1977)

A lovely song
Is found alive
Deeply embedded
Within my soul

Its melody is so
Lovingly cherished
That my heart will
Never let it go

For the song has
The precious power
Which alone can bring
My face to smile…

As I think of the
Love who changed
My life making the
Song so beautifully
Worthwhile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 27: 6-8

And now my head will be lifted up above my enemies
around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices
with shouts of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing
praises to the LORD. Hear, O LORD, when I cry with
my voice, and be gracious to me and answer me. When
You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You,
“Your face, O LORD, I shall seek.”…

The thought was of You
and how You cared enough
to give Your dear life a
sacrifice for me…

The thought was of You
and how You cared enough
to save my spirit from a
hellish eternity

The thought was of You
and how blessed I would
be without any worldly
riches or fame…

The thought was of You
when genuine joy came
alive the first moment I
called upon Your name.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 10:13
for, “Everyone who calls on the name
of the Lord will be saved.”

John 7:38
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture
has said, rivers of living water will
flow from within them.’

Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail, but
God is the strength of my heart and
my portion for ever.

AN AMAZING SMILE

An amazing smile
has a special value
A vibrant kiss brings
to life such zeal

An embrace is meant to
be lasting, especially
When its true intent one
really feels

The usefulness of a
a bliss filled dream
Becomes better, when
together its shared

Inspiring words are
given a special birth
As their lasting embrace
fills a heart which cares

A deep need of pure love
surely makes one to feel
Their sincere prayers
have finally come true

Especially in reality as
you hold them close this
Real moment you will never
want to lose

What you once perceived
to be true freedom was
Really a very lonely and
empty place to dwell

Because once you have
found your real love
Your life will daily
embrace constant thrills.

You are my rock, whom else shall I turn to
You have held me in your arms since I was
Born, you have nourished me with a great
Abundance of your grace and love

I have danced in delight before the One
Father who has nourished my spirit with
The eternal power of His spirit leaving
No doubts that You would always be close
To me

When I was sick Lord, you comforted me
When I was hungry you fed me your
living bread, when I needed knowledge
You made wisdom and understanding my
Sisters and your spirit my great teacher
And guide, and I have never been alone
Without You

When I fell prey to the lusts of this
World, you corrected me while chastising
Me as a dutiful Father should, Your hand
Has always been upon me whether for good
Reasons or bad…which was for my good
That I may learn your ways, and I have
Surely been blessed

You have kept me from my adversaries,
Those who sought to make me fall, You
Have shown them your power, for you
Kept me gently in the palms of your
Mighty hands while you showed me that
I was special in your eyes

And I shall always depend on your love
And strength and my heart shall cleave
Close to your love, for I desire to be
Present in your presence all the days of
My life.

(1973)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 16:11
You will show me the path of life; in Your presence
is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures
forevermore.

Psalms 16:7
I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; My
heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I
have set the Lord Always before me; Because He is at
my right hand I shall not be moved.

The light of your love
fills my heart daily with
a happiness which will
never leave

And this happiness
stays throughout the
day bringing a sweet
joy to remain with me

For whom Lord possesses
an awesome love as you
which I find from my
life will never depart

And the glow others see
in my face and eyes
Is not me but the best
part of you in my heart

…your love.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proverbs 8:17 I love those who love me,
and those who seek me diligently find me.

Psalm 5:
But I, by your great love,
can come into your house;
in reverence, I bow down
toward your holy temple.

I Will Not

I will not waste a precious second
If you now allow my heart to speak
I’ll not fill you with many promises
Which my love I will never keep

I will not paint beautiful pictures
To occupy your thoughts and dreams
I will only open your eyes to see
The true love living inside of me

I’ll not fill your world with untruths
That might lift your hopes up too high
I will never let you face a day alone
Without telling you I am glad you’re mine

I’ll not promise to make this world
Any better than what it already is
I will only give you a desirable love
To have with you all the days you live

(June 1977)
