Be still my soul

Troubles troubles swirling round

Inside my head and heart I shake

Then I lay upon the floor

with knees beneath and then I pray

I quiet down my soul and lo

I notice a re-centering

I am a pilgrim heading home

And so my heart beats normally

A Path of Gold

I came across a path of gold

It bid me come and see

All the treasure from of old

Which are laid up for thee

I shook my head in disbelief

How can there be a way

A way of riches for my soul

When I am poor today

Then my Lord appeared to me

Upon that path of gold

He said, this path is not for you

To walk on all alone

Invite the poor, the weak, and sick

To join this path with you

And I will walk alongside your soul*

To lead you in the truth

But though this path of my provision

Is full of riches sweet

Never sit and get comfortable

Stay up upon your feet

And give and give and give and give

Till nothing else remains

And I will meet you with a crown

Of gold for you one day

And remember this when all else fades

It’s love that will remain

Lesson of a Bird

Rain falling

Falling hard

Wind heavy

Unseen stars

Thunder roaring

Leaves torn off

Branches breaking

Lightning bolt

Wind dying

Rain has stopped

Sky clearing

Moon is out

Getting ready

To lie down

But ears hearing

A lovely sound

The sound is cheering

’Tis the song

Of a bird thanking

Thanking God for the storm

What a lovely bird

What a lesson learned

Learned from a bird

Come

A river streaming

As crystal from the throne

Like water in the desert

Flowing from the stone

Will quench the thirst

Of the soul who is God’s home

But will also do so

To the one who is alone

To the one who is rejoicing

To the one who has no song

To all the impatient

And the one who suffers long

To the one who is right

To the one who is wrong

To all who thirst

The Lamb says "Come

And drink from the river of Life"

All You Can Do

You may accuse

But you cannot bruise

All that you’ve said

Is all in my head

For I am restored

And the past is no
