"Canoeing the Mountains"
They say that “the church” today
is like the Lewis & Clark expedition –
charting new territory,
exploring the ashes & ruins of Christendom,
finding a new route to the Great Commission…
it’s supposed to be inspiring.
Problem is, we’re not explorers at heart;
there’s not enough curiosity
and we never volunteered for this journey.
We thought we had already arrived.
Knew our map inside & out;
so convinced of its righteousness
we just slapped it onto the turtle’s back
without stopping to look
at the beauty of...

I need Your direction please
Starting the journey, not sure where I am going,
So many others in the same direction, it must be OK?
Disoriented, wandering,. Wondering, is there a way?
The worldly map has many different ways
Should I ask for directions? but who do I ask?
I am lost! Many signs point to 'prayer'
Lord please guide me, my way is obscured
It appears, I've gone astray
I submit, I can not save myself, may I follow You?
Thank you Lord for allowing us to travel in Your presence
Thank you for guiding us along Your tracks
The tracks of truth and...

Fermata
They say the music stopped that day,
and in a sense that's true.
I prefer to imagine that you're still playing,
restored in body,
with the vigour of youth.
You played elaborate organ,
graceful oboe,
powerful piano,
and as professionals together,
our collaborations soared;
somehow more than their two parts.
Beyond the veil,
we can no longer play together,
and so I arranged something in your name.
The three girls and I performed it for you
but it felt like you were there
in the lines, the texture and the...

A Story Worth Remembering
There once was a Christian porn star
Whose career flew very far
Though what she did wasn't ideal
It was a way to pay the bills
She got quite famous in the end
For her performance and her trends
Her job made her an outcast
But she was quite proud of her past
Her friends were all pretty shocked
But she was never mocked
She said God was in her heart
And he would never depart
Though she was a Christian porn star
Her faith still went very far
She said she was still blessed
No matter what she...

But she was never mocked

Holy Ghost
(Sacrilegious "Leda and the Swan")
TW: r*pe, abuse, sacrilegious
As she lay all alone on her cot,
Upon where she and Joseph had tried before.
She wondered was it her fault or not,
For they had yet to conceive and adore.
Then she loved him as much as she could;
Granted she must, for what her father was paid.
She wondered if she very much should,
But she thought either way, she would be paid.
She invited HIM while he was out.
She figured, "why not? He will think it is his."
But soon a shadow was cast of doubt,
As...
