Intricately Involved

intricately involved are His ways,

intricately involved His power to display

Morning to Evening nothing passes His eyes

with every sparrow that dies.

Behind the vail

of eyes that cannot tell.

His soft whispers gently

changing my moment to moment.

Wind of God ever moving in

the courts of man's minds,

ever breathing your breath divine.

Ever moving paths

and in silent I walk with a vail

I cannot tell.
-Allison

Mystery of darkness

He creates anguish and darkness

to reveal His light.

He hides in dark mystery unknown

We stumble to find The Hand of help.

We hide with Him in the mystery of darkness

Blindfolded we stumble

but His eyes stand watching

our searching steps, our hands stretching

to touch His hand of help.

Unlikely Interruption

Unlikely was the time
for conviction to knock.
I was already set on a
path,
then interrupted by
His beckoning call
My tossing confusion
of conviction troubled
seas overwhelmed me,
disturbed.
My course was interrupted
Words of warning
Scriptures confirming
Now...is it too late,
I wonder
-Allison

Here Comes Faith

Here Comes Faith

Here comes faith walking through the door.
Oh! They lowered him from the roof
down to the floor.
No reservation, just the beginning
A roof to keep out but faith that came in.

People packed, no where to go
What a surprise and disgust to the people below.
They lowered the man, faith
took command, forgiveness and a miracle
and a pad was disbanded
The friends who had brought him were amazed
and rejoiced at the sight
to see their friend healed
who was once in this plight.

A pad we all carry, friends who are
near to bring us to the Master for His healing
and care.

One Voice

One Voice years ago
spoke deeply in my
despair.
One Voice to let me
know He was
not there.
One Voice and only
One for me to know
what will it be
Me or Thee.
Only One Voice
I need to hear
and heed.
Oh! One Voice open my
ears that I may hear and
believe.

Turn Ye

Turn ye all
unto me and hear
and your soul shall
live. Turn you even
to me saith the Lord
and I will lift you,
I will lift you. I will
lift you up. I will bring all
to pass, I will change
your circumstances,
your last chances,
your bleeding heart,
your narrow path,
your lonely days,
your lonely ways,
your crying nights
your fearful fights,
your sorrow to joy.
I will change the dark
to light your path to
bright. No hope to
hope, to longings
not met. I will meet and
greet with  loving kindness
and mercy. I will change
and rearrange your
death to life, your
strife to life.
Your pain to gain
your nights to light
to light to bright
Like the sun in the noonday
It will comfort you
guide you, protect you
love you, love all
the days of your life.

Little One

Oh little one you were created to live
not knowing the pain of
rejection
humiliation
misunderstanding
would come upon you.

You were soft in your mother's womb
growing and feeling safe
waiting for the moment
to know the one who carried you
and thinking of all the things you would be someday.

But as the merciless poison filled your
warm world
the pain of
rejection
humiliation
misunderstanding
filled your mind

And no one heard you saying, but
"I want to live"
"I want to live"

You were discarded in the dump ground
of others just like you
who cried just like you
who hoped just like you
Oh little one you were created to live.
-Allison

Cause Me

Cause my eyes to see
may they be focused on thee
in the midst of my longing heart
hear the beat
the crying deep
troubled mind be silenced with ears
brightened with eyes
than the light that brings a message sure
the song with melodies stir
hope springs anew no more adieu
and my heart captured by you.
