Unending Road For an Unanswered Question

Gentle Savior, grant me passage down this long and narrow road.
I intend no turning back but to see how far it goes.
I dedicate my life to proving the length of Your love
And to loosing myself in the journey, myself in Your touch.
The question goes unanswered: How great is Your love?
I travel onward to discover with my belongings in the dust.
With every mile I desire another; this is the fullness of life.
With every mile, my spirit cries that on this road I want to die.
They may mark my grave a simple place along a simple bend,
But even so, I will travel down the road that never ends.

Raindrop Kisses

When I listen close, when I remember who I am,
The world turns beautiful circles like a show of love.
Today, when I let go, everything starts to blend;
Sparrows are but leaves with wings that continue into spring.
Now I beg You hold me close; show me who You are
For others boast in one another and I must boast in who You are.
Here my Lover sends me feathers; He paints the sunset pink.
Here my Lover speaks my name in the voice of boisterous wind.
And here I am: I'm sick today and I must go to work.
And here my lover comes again; He gives me strength to work.
He plants kisses on my cheeks with raindrops, kisses on my lips.
He spreads joy across my face in this, His dark and perfect day.

This January Wind

This January wind breathes a gap into my chest--
This searing pain of emptiness feeding on my bones.
I fumble through the crowd of faces and fumble on for breath
And to the ignition to feel the heat, but I am still alone.
Please breathe in me deeper than this January wind.
Please touch me past the warmth coming through these vents.
Take my hand in Your hand; hold me close tonight.
And when the sun returns, do not leave my side.
Let this peircing January be like
The zeal I long to have inside.
And let the warmth from these vents
Be like the comfort when we blend.

Feeding the Flame

"What are these among so many?"
What is this life in the raging crowd?
All the clamour slamming 'round me
Would snuff this sacred silence out.
As miracles drip from Your fingertips
I place my life into Your hands
For good intentions melt to nothing
When I am found without Your plan.
Lift up my sacrifice and bless it
For this is all I have to give.
Spread the fire of Your Spirit
Through the desert where I live.
Don't let me live and die for nothing;
Don't let this body go whole to the ground,
But in Your mighty hands please break me
And spread Your flaming word around.
