Broken and waiting
Stumble, now falling
Mankind blind and lost
Grace always calling
Spirit picks us up
Reach for Father’s hand
Love fills empty cup
Vision clears as planned
Ask God our questions
Read Bible’s story
Taste Scripture’s account
Witness His glory
Lift eyes up high
Breathe in heaven’s love
God’s promises fly
Goodness from above
Wait for our Father
Hold tight to faith’s hand
His hope comes on board
Salvation’s steel band
Alarm clock sleeping in
Saturday morning waits
Lazy minutes calling
Extra coffee’s first mate
Day’s blessed, empty page
Life’s agenda on pause
Batteries recharging
Kicking back, just because
Quiet morning moments
Coffee’s second cup smiles
Never stuck in traffic
Saturday’s endless miles
This truly special day
Sharing its own sunshine
Life’s gray clouds chased away
Loving each hour, so fine
Each week’s favorite time
Carefree pace never shifts
Energized spirit sings
Saturday shares its gifts
Every
Given day
Blessings of peace
Christ walks among us
Spellbinding
Gospel
Speaks boldly
Treasure every word
Glories of God’s law
Beholding
Darkness
Surrounding thee
Facing tumultuous waters
God never stops helping
Sustaining
Waiting for inspiration
Seeking life’s fresh, new start
Searching nighttime’s galaxy
Empty stars fall apart
Hiding from inspiration
Fearing each day’s setback
Sleeping until afternoon
Day’s journey stays off track
Breathing with inspiration
Shirking destiny’s call
Walking away once again
Ambition slows to crawl
Dreaming of inspiration
Waking to sunrise fog
Giving up another day
Hollow thoughts fill backlog
Starting with new attitude
Taking desired station
Leaving forever, life of . . .
Empty inspiration
Your perceived failure can become the catalyst for profound reinvention.
Disappointment leads to clarity, which leads to conviction and true originality.
From 1 Peter 2:2-3: “Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.”
Infancy of man’s faith
Absent righteous skills
Fed with Word’s nourishment
Holy Spirit fills
Grappling divine lessons
Bread of Life above
Christ breathes as Living Word
Grace imparts with love
Learning faith’s elements
Son of Man preaches
One parable each time
Our Lord’s Word teaches
Practicing what is learned
Holy design’s growth
Faith in Word progresses
Maturity’s oath
Accepting Word’s goodness
Darkness now ignored
Righteous living obeys
Mercy comes on board
From Hebrews 5:13-14: “For everyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is unskilled in the word of righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties have been trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.”
Blessed sunrise wakes
World stops its endless spinning—
Tranquility calls
Nature’s sights and sounds
Creation’s rhythm singing—
Pause and soak it in
Newness of each spring
Opening fresh avenues—
Sacred life takes root
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13: “Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Struggling with life, feeling lost
Dark wilderness all around
Thirsting for someone to come
Waiting, hoping to be found
Love arrives from a white knight
Riding through the timberland
Accepting me as I am
Reaching out, touching my hand
Hearing my cries, God provides
This honorable knight stands
Sealing my heart with his love
Hour glass fills with precious sand
Life can feel like a desert
Leaving only loneliness
Faithful light comes to delight
Shining from God’s holiness
Two lives shall become just one
Uniting through a Holy Lord
Happiness now fills a home
Love singing a blissful chord

From Psalm 147:3: “He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.”
Challenges overwhelm
Accidents, poor health
Seeking God’s divine grace
His healing power
Come to gracious Father
Binding up these wounds
Through abundant mercy
Life restored again
Road of recovery
God strengthens, blesses
Built upon living Word
Peace offers comfort
Healing brokenhearted
Buoyant life returns
Praise Father’s compassion
Trust His mighty hand
Life filled with confidence
Praying back to God
Thankfulness to Father
His mercies abound
From Psalm 147:7: “Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre.”
Transition covers landscape
For both nature and man
Blusterous day taking shape
Coming change to life’s plan
Barren trees swinging with joy
Wind’s steady, rhythmic beat
Nature’s energy deploys
Tearing up day’s game sheet
Remnants of tall grass bending
Nature’s tempo shifting
Clouds reveal storm descending
Sending man’s plans drifting
Birds scattering far away
Man ignores storm’s warning
Day’s contest declines to play
Clouding nature’s morning
Storms can never be delayed
Nature stays in control
Man’s delight begins to fade
Gazing through life’s porthole
