Golden Tree
How many grains of sand
Are there in this desert place
I know I was sent this way
To see such beauty and grace
Time had lost the day and hour
How many before me had seen
The Golden Tree’s yellow gold
A beacons glow in so little green
Mountains loom in distance vast
The valleys shadow in their wake
The Lords hand in a special chapel
Majestic in it’s splendor for our sake
Golden tree’s, Golden tree’s ablaze
So lovely is the frame of blue sky
Holding brilliance in fragile leaves
Mine eyes remember as I go by !!

I just got back from visiting my son in New Mexico and i kept seeing this golden tree throughout the desert and ofcourse it was the leaves changing but i thought it was so beautiful and that inspired the poem.

Sweet The Rain
Caressing the green leaves so soft
Some say sorrowful the crystal flow
But joy to me in this intimate loft
Raindrops that touch, to bow the leaf
How gentle the Saviour in His Grace
Weathering the bloom to endurance
Blossoms of love, a harbored embrace
Summer’s swelter and lengthened days
Brings insatiable hunger and more thirst
Send Your Holy rain on this wilted Rose
O’ God of heaven Who is Last and First
Watch the blossom sparkle of blessing
Wafting sweet perfume of His holy love
Misty the morning of midnight showers
Beautiful the glory of our God above !!

Crawfish, Crawfish
Are you a member of the fishy generation
Are you willing to help when there is need
Or a little crawfish, that walks backwards
Going against what our Lord decreed
What do my actions speak of me
The giving of ourselves to a brother
Spreading the good news of salvation
Or do I fall in the category, of other
I am sick and lonely, will you come to me
I have no money and I have nothing to eat
Crawfish, crawfish walking backwards
Lord I see myself, forgive my lazy feet
I can see the ugliness of leftover self
Examine all that I have not seen
Help me lay myself on the cross of Calvary
Dieing to self deciding sin, love to glean
Crawfish, crawfish walking backwards
Eating both the living and the dead
Knowing what’s right in the heart
But taking the world and it’s fun instead
Jesus, Jesus, all that is good and true
To see my faults is to see Your glory
So patient with this growing servant
If you’re seen in this, change your story

Dress My Feet
And tell them to walk
Bathing daily in His Word
Filling my mouth to talk
The Lord will always keep
My feet from falling
He will Light my path
Exalting Him is our calling
He will keep my feet clean
Washing away sin and grime
Symbolic of His sacrifice
How He loved, even at that time
Following only His example
To minister to others in need
To become a humble servant
Always growing as God’s seed

Beams And Splinters
Piercing eyes that can see others
Giving correction upon their person
Casting self righteousness on a brother
Ready to find fault on a falling friend
Making oneself both judge and jury
Trying to restore without seeing thyself
Results in a backlash of loathsome fury
Forgive the beam in me and not be aware
A heartbreaking place of soul and heart
Not paying heed to faults in ourselves
When others could see them, from start
Beams and splinters a lesson learned
Judge my own acts and sin to reform
Letting myself be found above reproach
Living Jesus, committed safe and warm

Rainbow Water
So cool and crystal clear
Thinking of the Living Water
Knowing, He is ever near
Solace for this weary heart
To see this water spring and run
Listening, to wind kiss the trees
Beauty amidst the setting sun
Tiny droplets of rainbow water
Bounce from mossy rock green
The sun rays a gleaming hue
Feeding the eyes to glean
Cool shade from canopy high
Eyes closed reflecting upon Him
A place to think and gather
Underneath Gods hanging limb

The Last Sacrifice
Not as much as I should
He hurt for me and paid my debt
He was the only One that could
He was sent from God, His only Son
To become the last Sacrifice for sin
There was only goodness in Him
Only He could shed blood and win
Was I saved when that first drop fell
Was it, the blood from His crown
Was it, the blood from nine tails
Was it, when He fell to the ground
He had to bear the terrible cross
I was saved when He shed His blood and died
How could He do this for someone like me
My Jesus, that gave Himself to be crucified

Beauty To Perform
Right in the midst of a raging storm
Crepe Myrtle blossoms falling like snow
Pink, white and lilac, beauty to perform
They floated before my very eyes
And blew down the street in waves
Dancing and playing in a river of joy
Delicate beauty on the ugliest of days
Rage storm rage, but please let them stay
I needed the wonder of Your handiwork
You know how to sooth a breaking heart
With simple pleasure to take away hurt
Wondrous the majesty of Your creation
The power to calm an angry frothing sea
Then send delicate blossoms in a gale
To please and comfort a soul like me !!

Water Lily
Lovely grows the Water Lily
Roots growing strong and deep
Beneath pool of enduring water
Beauty the bud, awaken from sleep
Like our Lord, the Living Water
Our growth depends upon Him
Bringing forth born again blooms
Sweet joy that comes from them
Some only bloom during the day
Others choose both day and night
God says to be in season and out
This being , our Christian flight
Flower, our beautiful Water Lily
To gaze upon with humble pleasure
Floating on your crystal water bed
Another gift from God to treasure
