Drowning

Lord, hear my voice!

I cry out from the darkness, oh God!

I feel the tempest creeping up behind me.

Even its tip-toe steps cause the ground to tremble.

Cover me in Your love and grace, oh Lord,

so that tomorrow's ending matters not.

For, either way, I'm drowning.

SICM Psalm

Your grace is not enough oh God.

It is not enough to bring me to your glory place.

No, it is not enough to tear this veil,

nor enough to bring us face to face.

Lord, your abounding grace knows naught of "enough".

Your infinite mercy does not honor my cry for an end.

Your grace, oh God, is more than "enough" can hold.

It is more than my sin can rend.

This grace consumes humanity and still hungers.

Lord, Your grace is not enough.

O-B-E-Y

A praise song rises up in my soul

Not with familiar words or music

but a deeper tone of glorious praise.

Endless nights of desperate search

and finally an answer is found:

"See where you are? That's where I want you!"

And so I take a look around.

For now I have found my role.

Though my time here may be quick

here I remain, until He sends me other ways.
