APPROACH PSALM

APPROACH PSALM

Someone was kind to me
Quite unexpectedly
In a Provident way
On a difficult day –
Kindness prompts Love’s mercí.

What we fear love might be
In stark mortality
The Lord will revise
With tender surprise:
Embodied Eternity.

CHART PSALM

CHART PSALM

When North is East, and West is South –
When Up is Left, and Right is Down –
When curved geography is flat –
When Far is This, and Near is That –
At distance These, and Those are close –
When In is strange; and Out is home –
When Death is Breath, and Life is Pause –
Then Word is Thought; then Truth is clause.

FASTING PSALM

FASTING PSALM

Was spilt for me – most precious Blood –
Was torn for me – most gracious Son –
His Body kneaded into Flesh –
No Sip of Water to Refresh –
My being takes His Spirit’s Hand –
So real a Child can comprehend.

SMITERS PSALM

SMITERS PSALM

One can feel the disapproval
As subtle as a stare –
But time nor place do not allow
The Luxury to care.

One can sense the cool resentment
As silent as a glare
But cannot change the temperament
Of those who shun repair.

An offering of Olive Branch
Intended to defuse
Can instigate ungrateful wrath
If enemies refuse.

The Prince of Please would not impose
An Amnesty by force –
The Bridegroom of the Armistice
Endured the cruel Divorce.
