ALL THAT I HAVE IS YOU, O GOD

When all that I have, is you O God
then I say YES
submit my will to your Will
whatever that means.

When all that I have, is you O God
then I say YES
cling to you for help
guidance to wherever that would take me.



When all that I have, is you O God
then I say YES
day by day and moment to moment
kneel down in humility.

When all that I have, is you O God
then I say YES
fear nothing
take me I am yours.

All that I need

When all that I need is to be where I am
then I say yes
embrace the nothingness and fullness
of being present.

When all that I need is to be present
then I say yes
live the present moment with hesitancy
of being open.



When all that I need is to be open
then I say yes
receive the surprises of the day
of being who I am.

When all that I need is to be who I am
then I say yes
accept my vulnerabilities and strengths
of being human.

Winter time

When leaves are gone at winter time
then I begin to see the expanse of the space
beyond my naked eyes
penetrating the barriers of time.

When trees begin to die at winter time
the roots begin to expand
dig deep beyond the surface
and into its solid ground.

When snow covers the earth at winter time
it leaves a moist to nurture itself
so that when the sun comes out
the earth wont be a parched dry land.

Oh, I befriended the winter time of my life
where I see with my naked eyes
the depth and the width of God's love
penetrating my whole being.
