Journey of darkness

Chasing empty voice

Life without answers

Nothing to rejoice

 

Hearing God’s whisper

Revered voice speaks out

Lighting righteous path

Faith hungers to sprout

 

Now, wander no more

Embracing God’s voice

Past left in ashes

Trusting mercy’s choice

 

Walking in God’s light

Goodness from above

Accepting His grace

Faith’s heart beats with love

 

Life’s upright answers

Sharing each rejoice

Hope at last finds God

Following truth’s voice

From Psalm 18:28:  “It is You who light my lamp; the Lord, my God, lights up my darkness.”

Father’s Voice

From John 14:23-24:  “Jesus answered him, ‘Those who love me will keep My word, and My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.  Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words, and the word that you hear is not Mine but is from the Father who sent Me.”

Called to daily worship

Time spent with Father’s Word

Sharing insight about life

His light no longer blurred

 

Worry replaced by faith

Closeness to Father’s voice

Praising every morning’s peace

His grace offers thee choice

 

Earthly things mean little

Truth found in Father’s Word

Seeking treasure in Heaven

His mercy freshly stirred

 

Wisdom gains its foothold

Nourished from Father’s voice

Understanding life’s purpose

His promises rejoice

Zitkala-Sa Quotes

The voice of the Great Spirit is heard in the twittering of birds, the rippling of mighty waters, and the sweet breathing of flowers.

There is no great; there is no small; in the mind that causeth all.

Zitkala-Sa (1876-1938) was a Yankton Dakota writer, translator, and educator.  She was also known by her Anglicized married name, Gertrude Simmons Bonnin.
