The Cross (Ellerslie Post 7)

This is a poem that I wrote a couple of weeks ago, after Martyr's Night at the church here at Ellerslie...
I hesitated to share it at first, because I didn't feel like it was finished, but I'm not sure what else to change to fix it, so I'm just going to leave it the way that it is.
    

The Cross

A bloody cross stands on a hill and gently calls my name.

It beckons me to come, to leave behind my worldliness and fame.

"I cannot!" I cry, though my heart softens deep within.

A bloody cross stands on a hill and gently calls my name.

It beckons me to come, and leave behind my life of sin and shame.

"I've tried!" I cry, as my heart starts breaking from within.

A bloody cross stands on a hill and softly calls my name.

I see my Savior bleeding there, covered in my guilt and shame.

"Oh, Savior, what a price You paid!" I cry,falling down before my King.

A bloody cross stands on a hill and softly calls my name.

He gave His all to save me, and what can I do but offer Him the same?

I will follow Him most gladly, no matter what the future may bring.

Raindrops.....

The following is a poem I wrote yesterday..... It seems to fit life lately....

Raindrops

Raindrops run down the window

Leaving a trail of tears in their wake...

The wind tears at the house, 

Searching for a way in.

Raindrops fall down my face

Leaving a path of sorrow in their wake...

I fall to my knees, searching for the truth,

As the wind tears at my soul.

In the stillness, I hear Your voice,

"Be still, My Child, and know that I AM GOD."

Raindrops run down my cheeks, 

Leaving a ribbon of hope and healing in their wake.

 In His Love,

Splish and Splash (UBC #11)

So, it started raining earlier today, and for whatever reason, I was in a really really good mood.  So I decided to *giggle* go outside and put a letter in the mail.  And on the way back, I started singing, "Singing in the Rain."   It seemed like a really good song to sing while out in the rain, right? :)  And then I was chatting with my friend Jessica, and we came started coming up with different words to "Jingle Bells," and I just had to share them with y'all.  So may I present, "Splish, Splash," sung to the tune of  "Jingle Bells."

Dashing through the rain

In my rubber boots down Main.

I'm so glad it's May,

Splashing all the way!

Umbrellas all pop up,

Making spirits bright.

Oh, what fun it is to sing a splashing tonight!

Oh, Splish and Splash, Splish and Splash

Splashing all the way!

Oh what fun it is to splash

All the way through May!

Splish and Splash, Splish and Splash

Splashing all the way!

Oh what fun it is to splash

All the way through May! Hey!

Oh, and don't forget!

I hope you all enjoyed this as much as I do!  Don't stay too dry... And I do believe the sun is starting to come out.  Maybe I'll even see a rainbow!

    In His Love,

Dear Bloggy World

My Apologies

My dearest Bloggy world, I have neglected you.

I wish that this were not true

But alas, there was nothing I could do...

I know I said I'd blog more,

Take more pictures and explore the moor,

Put up life posts and music scores.

Life, however, is a fickle thing.

You chart your course out like a king

But you never know what the day may bring.

You plan and plan but all for naught

 The best laid plans die and fall apart 

Like my bunches of forget-me-nots.

My efforts have been weak at best,

Finding time can make me stressed...

I am afraid I've failed the test.

I wish I could say that I'll change my ways

So that I can write you every day...

Life is such a maze.

I do apologize profusely for my truancy.

I love you dearly, my beloved blog,

And I pray some day you will forgive me.

In His Love,

    Christy

Winter in my Soul

This past week I had some news that reminded of a previous experience that was painful and hard.  However, I know and believe that God has a plan, and I'm walking forward in His love and grace.  But, with it snowing today and everything being gray again, I remembered a poem that I had written a while ago and I thought I would share it with y'all.

 

Winter In My Soul

 

My dreams lie shattered at my feet,

Mingled with shards of my heart.

I cry till my tears run dry

yet long for more.

It's summer outside,

yet winter in my soul.

 

Heaven is silent for me

I yearn to be free.

I long for spring

but find winter in my soul

 

the ground is frozen beneath my feet,

the sky is hard above my head.

I call your name,

yet my voice echoes back to me.

 

Heaven is silent for me

I yearn to be free.

I long for spring,

but find winter in my soul.

 

How could You let this happen?

Why did you let me go?

Why can't I find you?

Why must Heaven be silent for me?

I long for spring

but find winter in my soul.

 

My heart cries for You, O Lord

I cannot let you go.

I will pound on heaven's door

until winter is gone from my soul.

 

I love You Abba Father

You are never silent to me

I trust You for the spring

while the winter is in my soul.

 

 

    In His Love,

       Christy
