Poem - I fall down on my knees

Every Blessing,

You are my firm foundation

My fear doesn’t stand a chance when I stand in your love

Because all I have to do is to look up to you up above

You are my rock and my salvation

For you are my solid foundation

And I am standing in your love and on the rock

My firm foundation of which there are no stumbling blocks

I can shout from the rooftops of your amazing grace

And I can feel your presence so near sometimes I am in a daze

You are merciful and so very true

Even though reading your word sometimes I don’t have a clue

But I am hanging on in there and I love you so

And I can feel you very near me when I sometimes feel low

These feelings I have are so real and so true to bare

That there are times I find it hard to breathe and to come up for air

I worship you like I have never worshipped before

For it is you alone I worship and you I simply adore

Even at times when you feel so far away but you are so near

It is to you alone and your presence I hold very dear

Before I took a breath, you breathed your life into me

When your love wasn’t clear to me before it is now that I see

How awesome and wondrous you are I am just so amazed

You are like a fire that has over the years became ablaze

You are my rock of ages and over time I have learned to love you more

It was many years ago back in 2003 that you came knocking on my door

For you came into my heart and your love I so don’t deserve

And I remember at first that I was so shy and so very reserved

And sometimes this is still the case, but I have learned to speak out

About your amazing love and your presence when out and about

But there are times I find it hard to speak and I feel shy

When I know I shouldn’t and I need to learn to more than get by

My heart is so full of love and I feel this so amazing joy

But as I said there are certain times when I feel somewhat coy

I need to act when you speak to me to speak of your grace to others

But I feel more joyful when either alone or with my sisters and brothers

There is a sense of deep peace that alone overcomes

And all I want to do is to sing and dance and sometimes just hum

For I feel an air of expectancy that I have never felt before

I can fall at your feet and just be in your presence which is so raw

Just to be able to soak and listen to your voice when you speak

I know you are near and it is your presence alone that I seek

I desire to hear you calling my name out loud when I pray

For you are my love and I can call upon you either night or day

I put my trust in you alone....

I put my trust in you alone

For your seeds into my life you have sewn

And I feel loved, yes very loved

For you are my Saviour from above

I can feel you near me

In you I just want to just simply be

For I put my trust in you alone

There is nowhere I can hide

To be apart from you I couldn’t abide

For you are good, yes so good

And I know I don’t always behave like I should

But you are so very patient

There are times that I feel quite ancient

But there is nowhere I can hide

You welcome me with open arms

And with you I have no qualms

I just so desire to enter into your presence

Whereby I can smell your very essence

A sweet aroma in the air

A smell so pleasing I want to share

Yes, you welcome me with open arms

You have a calling upon my life

Even though it is filled with troubles and strife

But still you have a work for me to do

And all I desire is to follow you

This is my desire, yes this is my desire

I have deep within me a burning fire

For you have a calling upon my life

With you I feel so blessed inside

And there is nowhere that I can hide

For you have always had my back

There is nothing from you that I lack

I am free indeed, yes, I am free

And as happy as a honey bee

For with you I feel so blessed inside

I could talk about your love all day long

For with you I can do no wrong

For your love for me is deep to the core

Just as my love for you is very sound and very raw

I just hate it when I at times don’t do things your way

But at the end of the day you have your say

And Yes, I could talk about your love all day long

You love me no matter what

For my sins you have since forgot

But even so I slip up every day

And sometimes my feelings I keep at bay

But you turn me back to where I belong

And your melody I turn sometimes into a song

But you love me no matter what

My amazing God

You are the lover of my soul

And my love for you is deep and this is my role

I want to bring to you everything I can

For there is nothing from you that is banned

I know I am the apple of your eye

I can see for miles around and look up at the sky

I want to know you much more intimately

This is a love for me that goes so deeply

I am not content just to hear your voice

But I want to shout out your name and rejoice

For you are as I said everything to me

And all I have to do is to simply believe

Your grace is more than sufficient

For you are all loving and all omniscient

What more could I ask for you to do

I know that my love for you still feels new

Even though I have been saved many years

There are many times I cry out to you and shed tears

For you are so gracious and kind at that

I know sometimes I can act like a brat

I know I shouldn’t act in this way

And I need your forgiveness what more can I say

There are times that I need to keep myself in check

But with you I do desire to wander further and to trek

For your love is so great and this is my one desire

For you alone set my heart which is on fire

I am thirsty and hungry for you please know this

If I could I would do anything for you and there would be no risk

So, I ask what can I do for you my beautiful king

To reach out to you even further what can I bring

You are so special my heart just flutters

When I spend time with you there are so many words I want to utter

Time with you is definitely and infinitely well spent

And I know in your presence there are times I feel unkempt

But even still I love you so much more than words can tell

And you have me completely and utterly under your spell

These feelings of mine go so much beyond words

And I feel like flying with joy just like the birds

I want to be around you all of the time

I realise with you that I am very much in my prime

So, my awesome wonderful and amazing God

With you I don’t want to be alone and spend time on my todd

For you know that time spent sleeping when I should be awake

For so much do I want to spend time with you that my heart surely aches

If I could just see your face Lord

If I could just see your face Lord

I would love to give you a big embrace

To show my love for you

And to be in your holy presence

Forever more and a day Lord

If I could just see your face Lord

And to be able to bow down now

And to dance before your throne

And to give you my all

In your presence, Oh God

If I could just see your face Lord

I would be touching your grace

Just to be intertwined with your love

What more could I ask for Lord

Above all else I just desire to feel you near

If I could just see your face Lord

For you are a righteous God

And most Holy and lovely of all

So awesome are you beyond words

For you are the lover of my soul

If I could just see your face Lord

For you are the song of all songs

And you embrace me with your love

And I can call upon your name

For you are my love Dear Lord

If I could just see your face Lord

Nothing will compare to you my love

For you are greater than all things

And I rest in the shelter of your wings

For I long to sing to you and shout your name

If I could just see your face Lord

Your name is much sweeter than any name

And I long to reach out to you when I can

And to take your hand and hold on tight

For you are my lover of all time

If I could just see your face Lord

For you lead me beside quiet waters

For your dear name’s sake

You guide me in paths of righteousness

Yeshua is your name on high

If I could just see your face Lord

For you are with me always

You prepare a table before me

You anoint my head with oil

Surely goodness and mercy will follow me

If I could just see your face Lord

For all creation cries out to you

You are beautiful beyond words

And you are mighty and strong

And one day all will bow before you

Jesus Birth

It’s that time of year again

When we remember Jesus Birth

It was a day to remember

When he came to be on this earth

A day full of wonder

With tons of stars in the sky

A time of miracles and hope

And a special birth none could deny

Twas the reason for the season

When plans came together

And a time which everyone

In the world would remember

With it brought peace and joy

To those all around the globe

A special delivery of this tiny baby

Brought nothing but hope

Hope and joy filled the air

With the wonder of this tiny baby

Whereby in later years through him

People would give their lives just maybe

He grew up to be the Son of God

Bringing good news to all those around

And in which he would give his life

For those who knew no bounds

He was the almighty, the Holy One

If only everyone could see

Changing lives forever

He was the answer, the only key

Through this precious life

Seeds were sown throughout the land

People would cry out for more of him

Because of Him, the people were glad

So if you don’t know Jesus

And the wonders and hope he brings

Then I urge you to follow him now

Forever he is and will be our one true king

How I long for you

How I long for you to envelope me

To be in your presence day by day

Struck by your awesomeness and

To be renewed no matter what

Comes my way

I long to become deeper still

to fall down on my knees

knowing you are at the centre

for only you alone my heart

could fill

I desire to be in prayer often

To be able to talk with you

And listen to the voice

Who regularly calls out my name

my heart softens

I don’t deserve to be near you

To be enveloped in your arms

Do I have the right to call you Lord?

I fail so miserably always

In all I do

There are times I find it so hard

To be near you to even feel your

Presence no matter what I do

My soul thirst for you, longs for you

This isn’t a façade

I so desire to learn all your ways

To become so enthralled in

Your company, what more could I ask

Than to be enveloped often

In your embrace

So I turn to you with a heavy heart

And crying deep within my soul

Abba Father, hear me when I call

Only to me alone could you

Alone possibly impart

Your voice of wisdom is all I ask

To reach deep inside me whenever

I call upon your name even though

This maybe sometimes be in vain

I want this to last

So more and more I long to

Fall down on my knees

To be more than to just simply be

So I call out to you in all and

Everything I do

Grannie Annie

This poem is about a wonderful lady so dear

If only she could listen and maybe just hear

The things that people love about her just so

She had so many friends but as I recall no foe’s

So down to earth and lovely to behold

There was more to her than just her weight in gold

You were the rock to which everyone turned

Your God helped you through everything you had learned

Though you were happy in all that you did

There was nothing whereby you wanted to get rid

The days seemed always brighter with you around

You were no fool and you were nobody’s clown

You loved playing the piano and organ which you did so well

You were the top of your league and people thought you were swell

You were slow to anger and so rich in love

Your love shined through so richly empowered from above

Peacemaker so thoughtful and so true

There was nothing it seemed, no nothing you couldn’t do

You shined far above others who put you to various tests

Your faith was your stronghold and now is your ultimate rest

Granny Annie you were known by from those far and wide

There was not a soul out there, no, no one you couldn’t abide

You were modest throughout your life for all to see

You deserve to be happy now, and you had everything down to a T.

You were there for everyone’s needs

I remember you wearing your many colourful beads

Dressed always so smartly wherever you went

You were always so happy and more than content

You were a wife, mother, grandmother and friend

You stood alongside everyone right to the end

May you be at peace now my friend so dear

For you are one person to whom I adhered

You were there for all of my needs

You were indeed a friend so rich who sowed so many seeds

I am so honoured to have been a tiny part of your life

Now where you are may there no longer be any pain or strife

Forever And A Day

Unto you alone do I open up my heart

Unto you alone I know we will never be apart

For since I gave my life to you

I know that we aren’t through

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

Unto you alone I will do my very best

Unto you alone be assured I’ll not rest

For I am yours and you are mine

And I know everything will be fine

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

Unto you alone there is nothing to hide

Unto you alone I’m not just here for the ride

For I am here no words to play

And for me there’s so much more to say

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

Unto you alone there is nothing more to fear

Unto you alone please know I am always here

I will never let you go

Because you need to know I love you so

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

Unto you alone this story never ends

Unto you alone I will do my best not to offend

For you alone are my rock

There are many building blocks

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

Unto you alone I cannot wait to go home

Unto you alone the heavens I will roam

My journey has just begun

There are no more places to run

For ever and a day I’ll be by your side

I'm dancing in the rain

I can hear you from a distance

Wishing you were here at my insistence

Where clouds seem to be moving on slowly

The look in your eyes is much to coldly

But still I’m dancing in the rain

Forever and a day by your side

There seems to be nowhere I can hide

Wherever I go folly seems to take place

At the end of the day this isn’t just a race

But still I’m dancing in the rain

I’m dancing in the rain

Day and night this feels insane

But what have I got to lose

If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t choose

The day just seems to be getting better

But I guess I can’t keep an eye on this weather

It can rain all day and rain all night

Well I guess I need to go and take flight

But still I’m dancing in the rain

This is how the story goes

Wherever it will end nobody knows

But still I’m happy to give it a shot in the dark

Even so I am going have to be up before the lark

But still I’m dancing in the rain

I’m dancing in the rain

Day and night this feels insane

But what have I got to lose

If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t choose

So yes, I’m dancing in the rain

If it’s all the same

Where has the time gone?

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year

Since I went and left you behind

With it has come unknown fear

Of unspoken promises

 life oh boy it can be so unkind

I have cried many tears through this time

Wishing in some ways I’d stayed

But leaving it felt such a bind

Of times gone by

Oh how I so often prayed

Where has the time gone

It seemed to be dragging along

There’s no words to this song

Leaving at times it feels so wrong

I chose to leave it was better this way

But I feel so often lost and empty inside

What more is there to say

If only we could turn back the clock

But there’s nowhere left to hide

So often I have felt so alone

Where bitterness raged

So often I have wished I could go back home

There have been feelings of strife

And I’ve felt like an animal caged

Where has the time gone

It seemed to be dragging along

There’s no words to this song

Leaving at times it feels so wrong

I can’t believe it’s been almost a year

But now I have to move on

Going forward I can but shed a tear

Leaving the past behind

I have no choice but to remain strong

I realise that no one can change the past

Not me, not you or anyone near

I have my faith which is strong and will last

Through the good and the bad

And with Jesus through

Each and every passing year

You surround me with your love - based on Psalm 23

I am a child of God

And as I wander through the valleys

I see you there

Complete in me

You surround me with your love

I surrender to you

As I rest in the green meadows

All the days of my life

In your fullness

You surround me with your love

You surround me with your love

And you are there

Hour by hour

Day by day

You surround me with your love

You are close beside me

Your rod and your staff comfort me

No matter what

I have your joy

You surround me with your love

You prepare a feast for me

In the presence of my enemies

you anoint me

with your oil

you surround me with your love

my cup overflows with blessings

I know your love will pursue me

All my days

In every way

You surround me with your love

You surround me with your love

And you are there

Hour by hour

Day by day

I will live in your house forever and ever
