oasis for the soul

  • in a wild rushing wind  a new friend came in   taking up space in me not knowing what he was up to i watched him clean + move everything  making it like new  dust flying, chairs breaking  my own demo day  i was exposed  losing control  of everything I had ever known  somehow he knew…

  • The room I grew up in Has seen many things  Victories and tears, joys and pains The loss of innocence, the discovery of self The grief and the birth of new life itself It speaks of a history that no one can take from me The spirals filled with emotions from A-Z This is a…

  • Of all the places I could be The seclusion of a cave speaks to me  Burning with jealousy for the One I long to see  He says, “It’s in the whisper that you’ll find me.” He leads me out to a secluded place  Showing me the light of his face  Now I feel the warmth…

  • Untamed by shame

    I am the wildflower  Unique in every way  Growing on the side of the road I could never be tamed  Among the weeds and thorns  Where I learned shame could be scorned By a man who died on a tree Making a way for you and me So we could grow wild and free  Just…

  • The benefits of the blood  are like none I’ve ever seen  They go further than anyone would go for me  so much so that you would die on a tree  that you would be my peace  You would set me free And now I am clean  all unto unity  And I can barely fathom  the…

  • No one asks if the wind exists it simply just is For the evidence is all around us From the way the trees dance and the waves crash and the butterfly  flutters along its way  And yet we ask the question “Does God exist?”  And I would argue  That the evidence is all around us…

  • Take me back to the garden Back where it all started To the place of simplicity When we we’re in perfect unity  Where I know you and you know me My safest place, my saving grace You never condemn but draw me in Showing where my heart doesn’t look like yours Where it had been…

  • The Great Initiator

    Like a Lover pursuing your Bride  Eagerly waiting at the Father’s side  For this exact moment in time  He says “to reclaim what is mine”  Your Bridegroom- faithful and true  Never stopped pursuing you From a cross to the grave, he paved the way Through the veil of your flesh  The greatest proposal was this …

  • the work of his hands

    You are the Potter  I am the clay  mold me & shape me  Lord have your way  every scratch, every design  you boldly proclaim “you are mine”  you put us in the fire  to refine & call us higher  that we may be perfect & complete  knowing you are the one we desire 

  • Come Away with me

    An invitation from the Father – “There is a release to be free, into the fullness of who I’ve made you to be  Don’t be afraid, take my hand and walk out with me Be strong and courageous, do not be dismayed, for the Lord your Maker is with you wherever  you go  Granting you…
