God is
a gracious Father,
a prolific author,
of all good things.
A reckless forgiver,
a generous giver,
freedom he brings.
Tender care,
Patient where,
All else fail.
God moves,
And proves,
Grace will prevail.

I am strong.
I lie.
I need no one.
I cry.
I own my destiny.
But why?
I am self-sufficient.
But will die.
Who can tell me what to be?
I am free.
Who can tell me what to do?
I am true.
Such is the man who to no god is bowed.
His own god he is, alone, and proud.
A Meditation on Psalm 102:17 and 34:18
The LORD regards the cry of the destitute,
he does not despise their prayer.
He bends down his ear to the humble,
extending his tender care.
He is close to the broken-hearted
and saves the crushed in spirit.
Those knowing their own brokenness,
through his love can bear it.
Kings and beggars he regards alike
and blessing to all he does impart.
Man esteems the outward appearance,
but God searches the heart.
And alas, now, will he look upon me,
with all my failings and pride?
What but “grace” can I plead?
My destitution I cannot hide.
Yet hope I have that will endure,
joy of heart, and love secure.
For all my failures Jesus does forgive and redeem;
He makes a broken man whole, his grace to esteem.
I am…
Swimming while drowning,
sweating while cold,
lost while finding,
broken while whole.
Weak and needing,
poor and pleading.
Empty, but not alone,
helpless, but not disowned.
You are…
Loving while finding,
healing while binding.
Life, I find, is not about me.
Truth, can be, hard to believe.
Love, Oh Father, help me receive.
Glory, Oh God, to you and not me.
