Father, why do You feel so far,
When I know You are so close?
Why does this trouble look so overwhelming,
When I know that nothing is beyond You?
Why do I feel so down Lord,
When I know You’ve got such good and perfect plans for me?
Why, oh why, do I cry out so much,
When I know You’ve borne all my shame and distress?

Dreaded Voices
The voices are here again;
And these are not the friendly kind;

Not the ones that tell me to get my backside off the bed and into the shower;
Those voices can be irritating, but I know they mean well.

Breaking my facade of calm.
It was sad,

Is he glad?
For pushing me over the edge,
And driving-in this wedge?
I’m not pleased
To walk over his ‘feelings’ while saying ‘please’.
I know this blade I hold,
Isn’t meant for severing the bonds we have.

Called to Worship
In the presence of the Lord is fullness of joy;
Indeed, in His house we find gladness and liberty;
We gather before the throne of the Almighty;
And bow in worship, not in shame to our Liberator;
With purpose, and the aim to glorify the Creator.

“What one thinks is between him(her) and God, but what one utters affects also all who hear him(her)…so hey, think what you want, but please, only say what you truly mean.” – Makafui.
