Sails of My Soul

Nov22

That we should no longer be like infants,
Tossed to and fro and carried about on every wind of doctrine,
By the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,
But speaking truth in love may grow up into him who is the head, Christ.
~ Ephesians 4:14-15 ~

Sails of My Soul

Lead me over uncharted waters
Steady my course as I go
Let loose the ropes of burden
Prepare the masts of my heart
Lower the boom of inspiration
Hoist the sails of my soul
Focus my mind on the horizon
Carry me on the wings of the wind
Lead me not into the abyss
Guide me on gentle waters
Prepare me for the storms
Shelter me from the crashing waves
Let me not go adrift
Nor lose my bearings at sea
Be my lighthouse in the darkness
Be my compass when I wander
Keep me anchored to you O Lord

Waves of Life

Oct30

This hope we have as an anchor for the soul, both sure and steadfast,
and which enters the Presence behind the veil,
where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus,
having become the High Priest forever, according to the order of Malchizedek.
~ Hebrews 6:19-20

Waves of Life

Glimmering in the reflection of sunlight
Momentarily resting gently at the dock
Tattered yet sea worthy
This boat sits dented and dirty
Storms of chaos pass through
Winds of trials toss it to and fro
Waves of temptation crash over it
Tides of life rise
Trying to consume
Gales of worldly wind seek to destroy
Yet still it remains tethered to the dock
Anchored in Christ redeeming blood
Securely resting in the Lord
He will set the course
Sailing the ebb and flow of His love
Navigating through the harshest storms
This boat will endure the waves of life
