I see streets full of crowds,
Packed trains, vans, and buses.
Some are silent, some are loud,
All over streets, shops, and houses.
I weep deep in my heart,
I think of God's Searching Eyes.
I pray, I search, I intercede
For God to save these shepherdless masses.

Prayer For The Masses

Family, Familiarity, and Fear
"Familiarity breeds contempt,"
I have heard them often say.
It's wise to not be too frequent,
It's important for one to have his own space.
But, frequency is not the same as familiarity;
Familiarity and family go together.
True friends see each other's weaknesses,
And, they help each other grow strong.
These fig leaves that hide false shame
Will not remain for very long.
The desire for human honor
Only tears humans apart.
But, He gave us garments
Washed in His blood.
He came and lives in us,
We are the sons of God.
The closer I draw to Him,
The deeper grows my love.
The closer He draws to me,
The greater He shows His love.

Dreams
In deep sleep at night,
When the body is at rest,
The soul still has sight
In dreams it must test,
Whether they be from God
Or from the soul unrest;
For God often speaks
When our thoughts are quiet,
And the soul that truly seeks
Will surely have light.

This Perpetual Waiting
This perpetual waiting will soon end,
And, I will see the shore.
He gives what's rightly fought for,
His mercies never end.

You Can't Untangle a Knot With Another Knot
You can't undo a mistake with another mistake.
So, let go what's not in your lot.
Don't follow your heart and your mind.
Bring your tangles to God.
Let God, for He cares for you.

Calm in His Care
Storms raged over their fear;
They hushed when He drew near.
The winds churn the heart dismayed,
But, in His care all fears are allayed.

Man Proposes, God Disposes
Man proposes, God disposes.
What He orders who can alter?
The heart that in God now reposes
Will not from His will ever falter.
