Poems To ABBA
Updated: Feb 23
In September of 2019 I was thrown head first into God’s Refiner Fire. Not only was it the first and only time I’ve experienced this, I also had no idea what it even was. It just so happened that I few weeks in I found where Peter talked about it in the New Testament and knew instantly that was where I was. It was then I started keeping a journal and would soon be led to write poetry. Please know I’m not a writer or poet. I have been led tho to share some here and I will only to be obedient. If nothing else I hope they might help who ever reads them to know that we all struggle for acceptance and long to know that God sees and hears our cries.
❤️ Someone’s shooting a Gun outside
Our worlds gone mad
In you I hide
I don’t feel their angst, their rage or fear
I’m OK with you right here
You hold me close whispering my name
Saying “Don’t look, it’s still the same”
You say “Be happy” feel secure
You belong to me now in that be sure
You tell me look up at your deep blue sky
past the Sun and Stars to the heavens on high
Rejoice and dance, praise your name,
You’re with me in the storm
my shelter from the rain
You say "stick around child
I’m going to use you to convince this whole
world there's no need to feel blue
Remind them of my unconditional love
To just repent and pray to me up above
I’ll come running to them as I did you
To make their Grey skies the brightest blue
To show them the mysteries of me above
The beginning where it started
This thing called love
When they put me first above all else
Instead of down low or up on a shelf
I’ll teach them how you’re all just here
For the test, to learn different lessons
That you hoped to be best
From Glory to Glory they will learn
What that means
How to see around what this evil
world schemes
To focus on me and nothing else
So I can come lead them to victory
And everything that it foretells.

Dream Again
You pulled me from prison
you opened the latch
You held out your hand
my strongholds no longer attached
You mended my heart
you vanquished my sin
You said " Now beloved
this is where we begin"
You took your strong hands and reshaped my mind
told me to leave all my worries behind
You said to look up
keep my eyes just on you
Nothing on earth beats the view beside you
You planted me firm on your solid rock
You showed me your vision
your plan from the start
You taught me to love
through untethered eyes
To never give up
regardless of sight
To always believe in things not yet seen
to open my heart and to once again dream.

No matter what tomorrow may bring
I'm standing today on your promises deemed
Each day I look forward to the new mystery
That points me to you and all that that means
I'll count it all joy
There can be no more doubt
That you alone decide when I come in and when I go out
I'll take time to listen to your every word
Knowing their life and that matters for sure
Thanks for your spirit
That guides me each day
Showing me when to step out in faith.

You saw me by the river
You felt my broken heart
You heard me cry "forgive me Father
please send your fiery spark"
I need to know you see me
please show me that you're here
Standing right beside me
in my moment of despair
I took your love for granted
I let the whole world rule me
Please can you forgive me
or am I too far out to sea?
Your love is so amazing
your Grace beyond compare
For me you sent a Savior
my salvation you meant to spare.
