The Ocean’s Shore

As I stroll,
along the ocean’s shore
I am blessed
to my very core.

Though I don’t know,
the water’s depth
I’m sure the Lord
guides my every step.

As I listen,
to the waves that roar
I trust His Spirit
over storms to soar.

Just as the sand,
and sea must meet
I know God’s the strength
beneath my feet.

And like a pebble,
in the sand
my faith can’t be crushed
by the foot of man.

As I watch,
eagles land on the dock
I too find safety
in the Lord ~ my rock!

My Soul Longs

My soul longs for Your peace,
for the comfort Your Word brings
for the reassurance and the calm
in the shadow of Your wings.

My soul longs for Your deliverance,
for the truth of Your restoration
for the liberty and the release
from the heaviness of my affliction.

My soul longs for Your mercy,
for the grace You have for me
for the compassion and the pity
so from all that’s evil I may flee.

My soul longs for Your eternal love,
for the deliverance of my sin
for the plan of hope and salvation
for Your Spirit to dwell deep within!

But I hope in Your word.”
