if I can have one thing,
right now,
it's mercy
God, I know what's wrong,
right now,
can you help me?
freedom is ringing,
right now,
loud and clear
your grace is sufficient,
right now,
I could bear
bless my coming and going,
right now,
I am here
The Christian Poems of David Weller
"Live Jesus, Live, and let it be / My life to die, for love of thee." ~Richard Crashaw (1612-1649)
Soul
there is a time
throughout my entire life
where everything
stands still
there is a time
held every day
where people
are Jesus
there is a time
every encounter
where people
are spirits
any given time
life is abundant
where even stars
hold at will
things are different
I am the same
where everything
is straight
things are different
things are narrow
where people
are the Holy Spirit
things are different
things are right
where people
are soldiers
any given time
the way is willful
where even the moon
moves the hill
reality is real
I am myself
where everything
is safe
reality is real
things are steel
where people
are God
reality is real
things are felt
where people
are human
any given time
the truth stands out
where even the sun
stands still
throughout my entire life
where everything
stands still
there is a time
held every day
where people
are Jesus
there is a time
every encounter
where people
are spirits
any given time
life is abundant
where even stars
hold at will
things are different
I am the same
where everything
is straight
things are different
things are narrow
where people
are the Holy Spirit
things are different
things are right
where people
are soldiers
any given time
the way is willful
where even the moon
moves the hill
reality is real
I am myself
where everything
is safe
reality is real
things are steel
where people
are God
reality is real
things are felt
where people
are human
any given time
the truth stands out
where even the sun
stands still

Life, is worth living, is giving, is loving,
Love, is faith, in hope...
And where, there's peace, and justice, that He us brings,
Love, is life, that copes...

environmental stewardship
earth, wind, fire and rain,
we're blowing through our hearts again,
and though we blindly see it through,
I always think of you...
earth, wind, fire and rain,
we're viewing with our hearts in vain,
and though we ever see anew,
I always think of you...
mountains, valleys, green grass hills,
we glory through our minds as thrills,
and though we own our burdens few,
I always think of you...
mountains, valleys, green grass hills,
we're knowing in our minds with kill,
and though we ever press the view,

Hope Heals the Earth
canticles of song
can't miss the sight of
mantles of rock,
verdant valleys,
swift streams,
red, red roses
all bright hymns
can't meet the might of
roaring lions,
soaring eagles,
happy beagles,
blue, blue ponds
fierce ocean billow
can't touch the fight of
spiraling thunderheads,
plundering floods,
vain hurricanes,
gray, gray tornadoes
the duties of humankind
can reach God's rite of
sweeping winds,
sparkling sunshine,
moon-leaped waves,
green, green leaf poses

Praises to You!
Mountains so high,
they reach to the sky!
Mountains so true,
their distance is blue!
Mountains so great,
their boulders dominate!
Mountains so view,
they're praises to You!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Give thanks to the Lord,
for He is good.
God made earth and sky,
for us, He would.
She feeds the people,
both saved and should.
To God let's give thanks,
She knows, we could.

Discipleship
The past, was but haste...
I sinned...
I neglected, God,
And my mind, was cast...
The future, is anxiety...
I'm greedy...
I forget, about Jesus,
And my heart, lacks piety...
The present, is allowed...
I discern...
I pray, to the Lord,
And my soul, is vowed...

Jesus saves
When I'm due and behind,
Jesus helps me in kind
When I'm deep into debt,
Jesus helps me pay yet
When I'm burdened with doubt,
Jesus helps me find out
When I'm loaded with care,
Jesus helps me get there
