I began writing poetry early in my walk with God. I have found it to be the best and sometimes the only way to express what God has made real in my heart. All of these poems are gifts from Heaven to me. Writing them and even re-reading them myself has blessed me beyond measure. I now pass the gift on to you. May you be touched and changed.

When First I See You

When first I see You, Lord
Your face I would not see
I don’t think I could bear it
Your eyes of love on me

I think that first I’d rather see
Those nail-scarred hands of Thine
Reaching out a tender touch
And gently holding mine

Drawing me close beside You
Against Your bosom tight
Love of loves embracing me
Making all wrongs right

Only after weeping there
In Your arms a while
Would I dare to meet Your gaze
And see Your loving smile
