He sees you wandering and you're weeping, For He knows your heart, active, never sleeping. He stores in a bottle all your tears, He knows full well all of your fears. And each one in His book recorded, Awaiting the day, they’ll be rewarded. To the Father's help, you do turn, And see him, the enemy spurn. Know this for sure, God is on your side, His chosen one, His beloved bride. So, trust in the promises of His word, What you have been told and what you have heard. Praise him

You hold me, and you know me You're ready and waiting for me to call You know my arrival and departure You have seen how I behave. You are aware of the poetry I write You cuddle me close and tightly You're aware of my learning capabilities You know that I can't outsmart you. You get me completely inside and out You're the search light in my darkness You personally created my shape 'n' form You're worthy of all my praise. You did not hide my character away You have my story al

One small step at a time; Taking time to meditate To hear the voice of the Lord Words spoken by the Holy Spirit A writer's gift given to me To be his witness in life In all I speak and write By faith, hope and love. There's a voice I love to hear The Voice of God speaks to me The inspiration for all I write Silences the critic's voice. For God's purpose, I scribe Telling of the good works he's done A testimony of his sacrifice When he died on a cross for me. Sarah Joy Holden

“I Was Not Seen, Nor Soothed, Nor Safe, Nor Secure” is a deeply honest spoken word poem inspired by the four essential building blocks of healthy childhood development described by Daniel Siegel—being seen, soothed, safe, and secure—and a personal journey of growing up without them. This poem invites you into a story of restoration, hope, and grace through faith. I was not seen, nor soothed Nor safe, nor secure.  I sought the treasure But could find no cure    I heard try and

When the midnight meets the morning. When flora and fauna frequently congregate. When the land meets the mountain. When the earth meets the shore. When nature meets its season. When the heart meets nature. When the sun sets on the horizon. When creation breathes new life. When planets and stars align. When the wind fans a fire's flame. When a tiny seed produces great fruits. When the seasons alter the landscape. When we hear the mighty seas roar. When the harvest is in abunda

A spoken-word journey through brokenness, guilt, and the quiet ache of woundedness — yet it ultimately reveals the tender, restorative love of God. The shards of my shame,  lay scattered and shattered,  As I painfully sought, To piece together all that mattered.   Those shards of my shame,  The dregs of my dross, Sporadic and strewn, I kept account of my loss.    I felt for those shards, As I groped on the ground, The needles of guilt, In a room with no sound.   A room with n

There are some good days They'll be those bad days Tears occasionally some days Smiles on the other days. Emotions don't choose the day Coming in waves, day to day There are happy or sad days Some more than any other day. For the Lord our strength He is our firm foundation In the deepest dark valleys Or standing on mountain tops. I will love on our good days I'll love on our bad days I will love you on beautiful days I'll love you on crazy days. Come what may, day to day Even

God hold onto my hand Catch my every tear Wisdom to understand Remove whatever I fear Lord, hold me close Never ever let me go God of faith and love Anchor in the storm Take from me any guilt In this, I am not to blame Give me peace in the night One small step at a time God, my ever-present light With you, I am never alone Cast out the shadows of doubt Grant over me your peace There is an unseen reason One, I shall not wallow Throughout this season There's a brighter rainbow

All seasons come, seasons go The seasons fall, seasons fly Seasons blow, seasons flow A season is born, seasons die. The seasons cry, seasons enjoy A season takes, seasons employ The season's journey, season's story Seasons of sorrow, seasons of glory. Seasons of darkness, seasons of light A season's frailty, a season's might Seasons so fraught, seasons fight A season's bright, a season's delight. The seasons rock, seasons they roll Seasons console, seasons control The season

Here I am waiting at the door of the new year Here I am waiting for the time to arrive Here I am waiting for this year to draw to a close Here I am waiting for the clock to strike midnight. Here I am waiting for what God has in store Here I am waiting to leave and enter Here I am waiting like the expectant mother Here I am waiting through the day and night. Here I am waiting for his prophecy to be fulfilled Here I am waiting for God's light to shine bright Here I am waiting

What is yesterday if not today? What is today if not tomorrow? What is tomorrow if not today? What is today if not yesterday? What is the night without day? What is the day without night? What is the night with no darkness? What is the day without light? What is a sky without the earth? What is the earth without a sky? What is a sunrise without a sunset? What is a sunset without a sunrise? What is a mountain without a valley? What is a valley without a mountain? What is a lan

Looking up towards the stars, Identifying different galaxies. Studying Earth's eight planets, All hanging in the night skies. Who flung those stars into space? Created a moon to brightly shine. How does day and night exchange? Wondering how it all came to be. For every man and generation, Every creed - every nation. To be our source of inspiration, In splendour of his creation. For our God created it to be, He knows the star's perspective. Setting the galaxies into place, Th

You’ve got me, to be me Cos you see me You don’t hold back Now you free me. Cos you see deep down And you free me deep down You took a good look And you helped me unclown You saw my whole frame And you took my whole shame You saw what I couldn’t And you built it again You took my hurts and lies Redefined my whole demise Became them at the cross And to my surprise You rose and flew again Took it all for now and then You fulfilled all the whys The what’s, the how’s, and when. Y

They came By the thousands For a service of worship Hands raised Voices shouting Praises to God the Father Bodies swaying People singing Preacher saying They can become more Where is God? What did He say When He looked upon the crowd Was He there? Present in that place? I delight more Says the Lord In a child on their knees Than a crowd Of ten thousand Shouting My name For others to hear

Despite what it looks like and what you face: All is well Although the enemy is lined up against you: All is well With the hordes of hell screaming at you to terrify you: All is well Darkness all around, fear all around, horror all around you: All is well.   All is well, though the earth is moved, All is well, though the mountains crumble. All is well, though the seas roar. All is well, though the mountains shake.   For is not our God our refuge and strength? For is not our G
