The Fringe of His Garment

 At the fringe of the garment of Jesus
 Was a place that was humble and low
 And a Master so Holy yet gentle
 All the years of her searching He knows

 While she presses through crowds Jesus lingered
 No one noticed her there in that place
 But there at the hem of His garment
 She found mercy and healing and grace
 
 So trust Him today and forever
 Take hold of the fringe of His robe
 For He welcomes the humble and weary
 And has promised us grace for the road! 
 
 
 

Faith in Flight

Faith in Flight

 An Ibis is so strange a bird

While it looks about for worms

Its crooked neck bent down to peck

Like chickens on our farm

But if they start to spread their wings

And fly up to the skies

Together sweep in gliding grace

To show God’s grace that hides

And wait for us to ooh and aah

And remember God delights

To give His strength in weakness

As our faith lifts up in flight

Seasons of Song – Poetry

For those who have followed this blog for a while you’ll remember that I sometimes post some of my original verses which have also been published in various periodicals and a few are original songs which appear in my Youtube channel. This year God put it on my heart compile a collection of those poems and songs. Today I am excited to announce after almost six months of rewriting, editing and organizing them around the theme of the four seasons of life, that Seasons of Song is now available in e-book format with the softcover coming out in a few days. Yay!! If you have enjoyed any of those light hearted springtime poems such as wondrous Nose; Ears and True Confessions of a Belly-Acher, you may also appreciate some of the more serious verses that appear in the fall and winter chapters.

If you wish to go directly to the page for Seasons of Song here is the link:

Though our calendar year begins with winter, God’s begins with Spring. He has planned for us each station of the years of our life. This collection begins with the fun and exciting Springtime melodies of childhood. Next the adventurous chorus of youth challenges us to grow as far and as fast as our strength can hold out. Only then can Summer give way to the harmonies of harvest purposely weaving together the threads of God’s grace. But just as no year is complete without a winter so the symphony of life cannot finish without winter. Just the thought of that fourth and final season can make us tremble. But Faith shouts “Don’t be afraid! These poems and songs remind us again of why our year has been lived and give courage to our voice for singing every one of our season’s songs till we meet in the presence of heaven’s song leader, our Lord Jesus Christ.
