Starfish ZA Poems

I woke looking at you

Tears filled my eyes
...

Move on as fast as you can
He doesn't love you, he doesn't need you
He is a man with a fickle heart
He will never know how much he's hurt you
...

Oh God of wonder
God of Grace
Here I stand before you
Humbled and broken
...

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.' (Isaiah 40 :)

Beautiful rose, soft petals, radiant colour and a fragrance to tickle my senses. I hold the rose against my cheek and delight in the closeness of the beautiful creation of God. This is probably more or less the same feeling that I have when I think of our Father's hand on my life, His dwelling in my heart and His outrageous Grace.
...

Healer of hearts

Father, Gracious Father and healer of hearts
I pray for your mercy and strength to cover me
...

Does it really matter
How I feel tonight
You don't even care
No thought, no thought
...

Lift me up, O’ God

Lift me up O God
Lift me higher to You
...

On driving home tonight, I searched the sky
for something, something even I was not sure
of. ‘Tis a trifle sad when you have this longing
and you are not particularly certain
...

Standing here and soaking in Your presence Lord
Leaves me so amazed, in awe of Your grace
Your love is immeasurable and tireless
You pursued my sin laden life's road
...

My body now worn and riddled with pain

FATHER have mercy on me, LORD have mercy on me
...
