oh, father
one of your warrior’s has fallen
one who laid their life down for the cross
temptation has overcome,
but for a moment
and fractured their very soul.
oh, father
send your comforting Spirit to them
redeem what has been broken
restore what the enemy has stolen
bring peace and wholeness to them again.
mend the wounds and the brokeness
pave over the path of destruction
with a road of crystal from the sea of glass.
oh, father
let them know we still love them
let them know we still care
show them You’ll redeem
You’ll restore the people left behind
and You’ll heal the fissures in their soul.
oh, father
show them that You will redeem and restore
what the locusts have eaten
show them that you will take the miry clay
from around their feet
and put them back on solid ground.
oh, father
show them how much you love them
and give them peace.
show them You can turn anything around,
but most of all Lord,
wrap your arms around them
and be their Daddy
as they cry themselves to sleep.
oh, father
bring them comfort and peace.

Snow and Son for Easter April 8, 2007
Snow and sun for Easter
My resurrection day.
As I bathe the states in My Glory
Be reminded of My Son.
His sacrifice has washed you clean
You shine like the sun.
The freshness of your spirit
Is crisp and clean as the snow.
Receive My gift
Of snow and My Son for Easter
For you sparkle like Him.
You bring freshness to the atmosphere.
Your purity changes those around you
And the coolness of your temperament
Refracts the prism of My Holiness.
Receive My Son and the snow
I sent you this Easter
Let My Glory bathe you in the diamonds
Of His reflection
As you kneel before the cross
And your sins are made white as snow.
Resurrection Day–April 8, 2007
