Poems that Inspire Hope and Joy
Soaring Above the Storms is a collection of poems to inspire hope and joy amid the chaos of this life. Poems that lift beyond the human spirit to bring one out of the depth of whatever life may bring, to soar above the circumstance with confidence in God's Sovereignty, Grace, Justice and love.
Lullaby of Love
Awakened with fear I do not know why
Struggling to pray, I really must try
Thoughts whirling, twirling around in my brain
Unharnessed they fly, I cannot constrain
Screaming within all the guilt and the shame
I know it’s my fault and I am to blame
Though I wanted to follow, I turned away
I was the one who had wandered astray
I struggled to find a verse from your word
To comfort my soul, a hope to be heard
There amid all my darkness, sorrow and pain
READ MOREA soft, gentle sound, a song’s sweet refrain
My shepherd’s dear voice was calling my name
My eyes filled with tears, as nearer He came
Trapped in the thicket and thorns of my heart
I longed for release, a chance, a new start
Chorus
Then the words of His song grew ever so clear
“Hush little one, there is nothing to fear
My love for you grows with each beat of my heart
A love that cannot die nor ever depart
You are precious to me; I love you so
I laid down my life just so you would know
The depth of my love, my mercy my grace
Oh, look at me now. Look into my face
And rest, my dear love, rest here in my arms
Forever my strength will keep you from harms
Wherever you go wherever you are
My Glory will shine as your guiding star
When the sorrows of life cause you to roam
My lullaby song will lead you back home”
Forgetting His pain, the thorns He did tare
Until I was freed from that dark hidden lair
He lifted me out from the darkness within
Forgiven I was for my doubt and my sin
Letting go of all else in His arms I did rest
Protected, beloved, undoubtedly blest
He is my dear love, my greatest treasure
Joy that exceeds the lure of life’s pleasure
Chorus
His lullaby song rings ever so clear
“Hush little one, there is nothing to fear
My love for you grows with each beat of my heart
My Love will not die nor ever depart
You are precious to me; I love you so
I laid down my life just so you would know
The depth of my love, my mercy my grace
Oh, look at me now, look into my face
And rest, my dear love, rest here in my arms
Forever my strength will keep you from harms
Wherever you go wherever you are
My Glory will shine as your guiding star
When the sorrows of life cause you to roam
My lullaby song will lead you back home”
