Poems
by Catherine
 

Compassion

I see them daily
People of all walks
Crossing my path
Some I struggle hard to love

I cry out for grace
Open my eyes Lord
To see beyond ...
The hungry hearts and soul
Tossed and turn
In a web of frustration

I cry out for strength
Flood my heart with compassion
One that's swift to love
Tending to fragile hearts
Reaching out with care
Where hope has worn

 

 

Journal
 
It's precious
to me
Those words
You have said

Your thoughts,
and plans
about
me

I've held it
deep
in my heart
for You are faithful

Words
of guidance
of purpose
of direction

Words
of strength
of hope
of love

for Your promises
are not
like man
fading easily

These pages
as I
flipped

brings
me joy

brings
me strength

brings
me hope

I'll rest in You
for as I wait
You make me
strong

Walking On Water

Here comes a time
To step off the boat
Leaving the familiar
And walk on water

Releasing the grip
Securities I once held
To jump and fly high
As He has called

Like the circus' trapeze
Throwing myself to You
The Catcher Whom
Shall bridge me across

I'll rather leap forward
Launch to the unknown
Than not knowing
The flight of joy with Him

This is the moment
Long waited for
Refuse to be crippled
By fear that hinders

Standing there
A faithful Savior
That reaches out to save
Not letting me drown

Yes, It's a time of growth
My confidence is in Him
To trust him more
And take the climb uphil

 

Morning Awakens...

Morning awakens
There You stood
Your love reaches out
Greeting me as I arise

Sunshine explodes
Every flower speaks
The work of Your hands
Praising the Creator

I'll lay at Your feet
Marveling
Standing in awe
Looking at You

Your presence embraces
Humming softly
A new song
I'll bring to You

Hands lifted high
Praises burst forth
Smiling .....
I'll dance before You

Closer and closer
Deeper and deeper
I fall in love with You
Over and over again
