Bare My Soul

by emma | Feb 4, 2008 | Writing

strip it all away
so i am naked and vulnerable
before You
til there’s only me and You
in our secret place
of intimacy
tear down the barriers
the walls of fear
i erect
let them lie in ruins
broken
before Your love

[ Written during church on Sunday ]

Beneath The Sky

by emma | Feb 2, 2008 | Writing

This poem just made me cry… Adam writes amazing stuff…

Beneath the blanket of warm gray sky
rest wear wanderlust
rest passing pilgrim
rest earnest seeker
looking for life in odd doors
vintage windows
eclectic mixes
worn streets
and torn sheets

rest till the breathe you breath
penetrates the pulsing soul
evaporating the imposed veils of separation

Read the rest of the poem here…

Hold On

by emma | May 20, 2006 | Writing

Hold on now
I'm not letting go
Found love
To last a lifetime
Through chaos
Still You surround me
Never losing sight of You…

A Broken Spirit

by emma | Dec 12, 2005 | Writing

“The sacrifice You want is a broken spirit.
A broken and repentant heart, O God, You will not despise.”

Psalm 51:17

I’m laying down my life
At the alter of Your love
This broken heart is Yours
God do not turn away.
All my life I sacrifice
My spirits weak and fainting
Still Your grace sustains.

I’m breaking down these walls
Revealing hidden pain
This wounded soul is Yours
Let healing rivers flow.
All my life I sacrifice
My spirits weak and fainting
Still Your grace sustains.
