a word
caught
in the wind
finding its way
from
one heart
to heal
another
sent with hesitation
fear of rejection
of being
misunderstood
love sends it out
anyway
love cannot
keep it bound
so it is sent
on angel wings
with the breath of hope
and trust in the One
who holds all our tears
and all our prayers
and knows our longings
and all our fears
and our every dream
that His love
might
fill
to overflowing
for this is how God gives
six baskets of bread left over
the best wine
after the ordinary was gone
nets too heavy
to hold all the fish
He who fills our cup to overflowing
I will trust Him
He who feeds the multitudes
I will hope in Him
He who calms the storms
I will flee to Him
He who speaks the Word
and demons flee
I will make my refuge in Him
He who could have called
the host of heaven's angels
I will sit at His feet
for
He gives
and gives
takes all our shame
and heals from Death's reward
I catch His prayer
in the quiet
of my heart
that we be kept from the evil of the world
that we be made holy by His Truth
that we be made one with
the One
love like the One
Jesus and the Father
and us
One
and so
I send out
a prayer from my heart
and breathe a sigh
and smile
God hears
and is the giver of life
the healer
the lover
the Holy One
may He send His Word
and heal
Words of Life
my favourite things
