Faith breathes through Jesus Christ
Raised as children of God
Light filled with righteousness
Hope sown in each seedpod

Faith seeks living waters
Baptized in Christian light
Justification’s truth
Heavenly grace takes flight

Faith clothed through mercy’s light
Led by God’s mighty hand
Forever One in Christ
Spirit’s peace covers land
 
Faith springs forth with mercy
Truth’s light follows God’s way
Cherished as His children
Trust embraced every day

Faith navigates through love
Opportunity’s road
Journey marked with His light
Christ redeems each seed sowed

From Ephesians 2:4-6: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

Unconditional love
Grace descends from God’s heart
Connected to Him above
Man receives renewing start

Heavenly grace flows out
With Savior’s rising tide
Nourished with God’s love aglow
Righteous mercy always guides

By grace, man’s salvation
Hung on Calvary’s tree
Forgiveness loves each nation
Enemy’s darkness shall flee

Faith’s fabric now strengthened
Harvested grace unites
Redemption’s spirit deepens
Steadfast love remains in flight

Father’s grace positioned
Journey of peace begins
Mankind’s hope reconditioned
Christ’s love forever weighs in

Rhythm’s Balance

Thinnest clouds gather

Horizon’s comforting song—

From Philippians 2:1-2: “If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.”

Led by Jesus Christ
Humility follows His light
Captured in every breath
Outlook painted in white

Encouragement breathes
Bathed in blessings of Scripture’s Word
Humility’s heart warmed
Joy found in all that’s heard

Pride moving away
Humility infused with love
Credit given to God
Glory shines from above

Christ’s comfort received
Peace descends upon angel’s wings
Humility’s presence
Forever, mercy sings

Hope in tomorrow
Humility’s mission complete
Others placed above self
Gifted with faith’s front seat

Story of doomed community

Losing its way, darkness surrounds

Hunger fueling gang violence

Crying out, injustice abounds

 

Life crushed in spirit, wandering

Wrecking faith, living defeated

Racism walks with extremism

Bringing sin’s death, feeling cheated

 

From dark despair, running away

Running to us, God with His grace

Love and mercy fill empty cups

Accepting His gift, let’s embrace

 

God’s right hand covers this land

Striking out envy, hate, and greed

Spirit finds us lost in life’s fog

Plowing under each sin-filled seed

 

Chaos no longer shatters dreams

Offering true, forgiving peace

God’s right hand, never grows weary

Lifting up lives, shall never cease

From Psalm 89:13-14:  “You have a mighty arm; strong is Your hand, high Your right hand.  Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before You.”

From Psalm 48:12-14: “Walk about Zion; go all around it; count its towers; consider well its ramparts; go through its citadels, that you may tell the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever.  He will be our guide forever.”

During moments of darkness
Praying to Father above
Heaven’s light breaks through
Trust nourishes heart with His love

Accepting His divine grace
Following Father’s roadmap
Heaven’s light shall lead
Away from enemy’s sand trap

Escaping from parched landscape
Grasping Father’s steady hand
Heaven’s light beholds
Forever marked, steadfast faith stands

Pursuing His love-filled peace
Revealing Father’s new hope
Heaven’s light spreads out
Reinforced hold of mercy’s rope

Embracing eternal view
Delighting in Father’s ways
Heaven’s light holds firm
Destiny’s truth descends ablaze

From Isaiah 58:11: “The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your needs in parched places and make your bones strong, and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water whose waters never fail.”

Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.

In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks.

John Muir (1838-1914) was an Scottish-born, American naturalist.  He was one of America’s earliest  advocates for wilderness preservation, and he has been referred to as the “Father of National Parks.”  His unwavering support and influence led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park.
