      These poems are dedicated

      to the suffering world.

      May they help rekindle the

      faith of all those who ponder

      them with open hearts.

      These Words

      These words are weak vessels

      They cannot hold the fulness of my heart

      They spill and crack

      They overflow and flood

      The plains of my prayers

      O Father, strengthen my words

      Let them live!

      Let them move

      And have their being in Thee

      Father, I am Thine

      Let my words also be Thine!

      God is in the Storm

      God is in the storm

      And in the calm

      He’s in the lamentation

      And the psalm

      He meets me in the desert

      And on the raging sea

      He finds me in my sorrow

      Wherever I may be

      He gives me living water

      To soothe my thirsting soul

      And when my
