Trust

Small bud of trust

Blossoming flower of laughter

Small bud of trust

Faithful confidence never rust

Grasp your hand joyous forever

Knee-deep through life gripped together

Small bud of trust.

(Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much – Luke 16v10).

Drown In The River

 A soft feather of divine bliss

Living fountain, transcended joy

Sweet fullness to dismiss despair.

Consume ecstasy life’s pure delight

Kiss the miracle of answered prayer

Glistening diamond, unfathomable peace.

From the everlasting waterfall grace streams

Intense presence quenches the fever of life

Drown in the river and be renewed.

(Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life. – John 4v14)

Alabaster Bottle

No words of self defense

Nothing uttered

No attempt to justify

Nothing to defend

No explanation

In the face of criticism

An act of extravagant love

Shameless, selfless

Broken alabaster bottle

Forlorn grace

A legacy of devotion

With drops of matchless beauty

Tears of tenderness

The light of love in the

Darkness of sin

Brokenness

The costliest perfume

Spilled, poured,

Compelled by tears

Expression of selfless worship

Whispers the heart of love.

(A woman came with a jar of special perfume. She had given much money for this. She broke the jar and poured the special perfume on the head of Jesus. – Mark 14:3).

Cleansing rainstorm pure release

Nourish my soul and with grace

dance as colourful sunbeams

Promise of your love.

Night has passed over

Embrace your strength and refuge

Peace and rest for weary souls.

Eternal promise

Your comfort now fills my heart

Allow your spirit’s leading.

Boundless

Boundless provision of rest

taste the sweet divine nectar
