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.

In Your Hands

I know You said, “Don’t worry”
Still I wonder and I fret
When those I love are hurting
I want to help and yet…

I have nothing to offer
My ways are not the best
So I place them in Your hands
‘Cause that’s where they’ll be blessed

There is no end to sin and need
Even with family and friends
I do not know how I can help
Among this need that has no end

I’m at a loss of what to do
I do not know what’s best
So I place them in Your hands
Only there can they be blessed

Your love, O Lord, is boundless
And yet it dwells in me
I long to pour it out on those
Who hurt and are in need

But I can’t help without You
Your ways are always best
So I place them in Your hands
Where I know that they’ll be blessed
