I lift my thoughts to you in prayer Yet so often they drift away The ache of absence made me aware Of longing for you presence to stay My body made from soil and dust Grows out its prayers of only wood In thousand ways I spoil the trust Yet you work everything for good Your absence too has its...

Hope of people lies buried and wrapped In tomb's mournful darkness trapped A rock-hewn gateway to the realm of death Abode for those beyond their last breath Coldness of stone inside the tomb Reminds of warmer rest in the blessed womb Forces of the evil one still smugly gloat Not understanding...

For thousands of years Through their terror and fears I have ruled over them all Their dust he did once enliven But in me their bitter end was given My reign was granted by their fall I heard the rumor Through the silent whisper And thought it contrived In their delusion of despair But now I...

In this life a vision of divine beauty Is faintly seen through array of mirrors The mystery of love that goes beyond duty Once entered the realm of wrongs and errors Where blind eyes ached to open for new hope To behold the beggar in the purified white robe Made from the elusive fabric of time...

Angelic observers in heavenly spheres See the face of darkness rising As serpent from its ancient root Hands of the Righteous One soon pierced World's rulers enthralled in the dark enticing As nails convey our sin and reveal painful truth Arms outstretched he is uplifted in mid-air As in his...

Sad eyes of a man who walks the roadside Hint of quietly suffering soul's drought His shell is now empty but still fit to hide The depth of sense of sorrow life has brought Once again he passes by an old church A beacon of his childhood now distant By the path he sees a blue iris under a birch...

From eternity past to future everlasting Your love and glory know no bound World's contrast with its shadow casting Hides a place where a treasure is found You did once dwell in temple made of stone Giving hope to hardness of human heart That humble temples of lowly flesh and bone May also see...

The land of eternal promises in mind The new Joshua has finally arrived In accord with the will of the Father In baptism crossing Jordan's water All of God's people summed up to one Heart weighing but not as stone New Moses revisits the wilderness Carrying heavy demand of righteousness The...

Marvel the madness of the human quest The drive to banish their creator Heart and conscience give in to division Chest ripped open for a cheap impostor They fortify the temple crest Against its true and rightful dweller Trading true prophet's vision For fate's frivolous fortuneteller Running...

Behold the perfect Heavenly Image Now partaking of dust of earth From beginning to finish To recapitulate the first Water to Adam's thirst The seed of eternal decrees In time grew from earth's soil Binding the strong man to take his spoil Hope found itself afresh In the Word now become flesh...

Your perfection on my behalf acquires The precious gift of justification Your holy presence in me desires The purity of sanctification We are the broken ones You took the pain of restoration We are the prodigal sons Called arms open back to celebration Heavy steps in time became one Eternal...

This is the misty dawn of promises As waves of time move on the waters The grieving mother without solaces Soon rejoices with her daughters Broken wing for love to restore For the bird learning to fly again From stormy waters brought ashore With garden's healing rest to regain Image comes...

You wake up in a maze of confusion Stone tablets form its imposing walls Earthquake adds fear to heart's fusion Desperately seeking an exit before it falls Every moment it becomes smaller Yet its dimensions stay the same Menacing shadows grow taller As soul's nakedness meets its shame When the...

The human face of God Sweating drops of blood Into flame of judgement bound Baking redemption's bread The vicarious divine rescue Carrying the curse to bless you Invading contested ground Where no one could tread Garden of affliction For him to endure For the sake of salvation Of ones who lost...
