Your Well

your well is deep
a gift from the
Sovereign hand of God.
Your well is full
to rejoice the hearts
of many.
When your door is
shut the water fills
every point of your land to bitterness.
But when your door is open
it floods many, and sweetens
the smile of your heart
and many.
Your well is deep
is it there for you to keep?
Is it not His gift to you to replenish
the souls of those without?
To fill their hearts with joy
and sweeten their smile?
Keep the door open wide and
hold not deep inside.
For God's door is open wide
and sweetens the hearts of many.

Come and Die

come and die
come and cry
come and let your
heart be filled
to overflowing
of God's unmeasurable
love for you.
come hear his
voice bidding you
to his precious bleeding side
all the sin forgiven
and forgotten.
but come to taste
and see how good
He is.

Beyond the face

I travel beyond your face
to look behind the corner
of your smile, your eyes,
your face.
Around that corner is another place
where another world
unfolds, a world is told.
Layers hidden
then suddenly suspended in space
to who you are, where you are.
Dissecting like a surgeon
I walk through your world and see
the hurt, the gifts, and empty jars.
Unfolding memories of hanging pictures,
scented candles, dirty laundry and
rainbows in your heart.
