Painted Sand and Lands of Life

a painted desert is still but painted.
yet green are streams that flow
by life revealed and show
that life is more than glass and tinted dust
on the other side of these ephemeral shores

With Us in the Dance

Immanuel, know us in this dance
the days are long
and pass by before we know
like fire on dry grass
yet You remain our Great Friend
Lord and King

Immanuel, know us in the pain
in dirt and death
in love and breath
and moments in between
for we are changed when You reveal us here
where the atmosphere is found in You

Immanuel...

Let It Be

til Kingdom come the thunder rolls
might be, some shine in the sounding
peace, then, is not so gentle as it seems
let it be, let it be
for He is the Author, and will finish the same

as these mountains remain unchanged
so holds His foundations through time
and the rhyme of Love eternally tended
is the song of waves upon the tide
let it be, let it be
for He is the Author
and will finish the same
