You

Jesus
You reign
My soul rejoices
When I stay
In tune
With your teachings
My life
Only has meaning
When
You attach
Yourself
To a broken being
The manna
For my hunger
The wine
For my thirst
The comfort
To heal
My grievance
That gives a soul pause

Praise

Lord
I need
To
Thank you
For a love
I can't understand
How you
Endured the scorn
Yet nailed up
For my sin
Leaves me speechless
In reverence
For the life you lived
A painful death
And a resurrection
That can't be undone

Heart

Pray for me
The tears fly
Like a pouring rain
When you feel
like a lowly pauper
Where your net worth
Is all that matters
When those who
Love you apparently
Don't want to see you
Because you can't
Adequately entertain them
I know it's Christmas
But I all I want
Is for my prescence
To be enough

Blessings

In the uncertainty
Of each day
I find peace
Joy in knowing
How many of you
Love me
Without
Reservation
Or hesitation
Thank you
Friends
Blessings
I'm grateful
To be able
To count

Reply

Lord
I come
Wanting
An
Answer
To a question
That probably
Gives me a response
I'm not ready
To swallow
The tears
The agony
And its something
I'm not sure
How to broach

Spirit

Candy canes
Sugarplum fairy
Peppermint bark
Nutcracker suite
Christmas
How I love thee

Hope

A sprinkling of hope
A dash of faith
All rolled up
With a love
Of a Savior
Who won't
Just quit
