In the Morning
In the morning, When the sunlight’s still at bay – There’s a hush, And I clearly hear you say That you love me… And you’ll make my dreams come true. In the morning, Yes, I love this time with you. As the sun Begins to show its face – I awaken, Being held within your grace… You still love me… And you’re all I really need. Every morning, Your voice is what I’ll heed. You’re in the whispers – Of the wind and of the rain, In the lightning, That flashes ‘cross the plains. And yes, even in the very air I breathe, Your beauty’s stunning As it washes over…

Place for the Heart
I put my heart up on the shelf And do some talking to myself. Haven’t found the way out yet, Still, I’m leaving the regret. Instead I see a hilltop With views that make my heart stop And dirt that makes my boots turn red, Where peace shows up and hope’s not dead. The whisper in the trees is sweet Where cedars and the oak boughs meet. All I want is to be there And feel the freedom in the air. The River flows beyond the bluff – Oh yeah, this place – more than enough… Enough to heal a fractured heart And give to me a brand-new start.

Changes in the Wind
The blazing days of summer Replaced by cooler breeze, And heart within is beating time, It feels as though it’s free. I tip my face up toward the sky, And thank You for Your grace, The many prayers I whispered, Those hurts You have erased. Your love is unabridged. It causes me to gasp – In wonder and in awe You’ve given more than asked. And yet, You know this heart of mine, And choose to love me still. You go before and hem me in – My dreams You will fulfill. – RG

Metamorphosis
Bathe me in Your light this day, Connect my heart in You. The swirling love surrounding me, Exists within Your truth. Hurt and sorrow slip away, I rest upon Your palms. My name is written down on them, And I will sing your Psalms. Forgiveness, hope and purpose Replace anxiety. My soul is searching, reaching out For Your eternity. Your promises, they will light the way, Your arms are open wide. I feel the hope You’ve given me, And lean against Your side. Gratitude and thanks ascend, Replacing all the woes. My heart rejoices now in You, For I’m Your son-lit Rose.

In the Morning
In the stillness, there is hope – And whispers of the truth. The burdens and anxiety Undone because of You. Uncertainties and fears, They simply slip away, Replaced by greater Good As night rolls into day. Light within and light without, Open heart and hands… Keeping all the dreams intact Where love can now expand. Nothing lost, all is gained, Reality made anew. Compassion for this heart of mine, It’s dancing now with You. – RG

Yours
The miracle of You is that You loved me first. No conditions. No performance reviews, Just Your love crafting a “do over” in me. Looking back through the years, I see Your faithfulness, Your gentle hand. And sometimes a swift, hard shake to wake me up. “So, Rosey, do you want to be Lot’s wife?” That moment, I will never forget… And because of that, because of You, I am here right now. The miracle of You is that You have never left. Always present. Always giving in abundance. My heart is full, because You are in it. Always. Forever. Without limits. Yours. ♥ RG
