~ The Hope Of Life ~
Hope rests quiet, it's sweetest tune plays on and on down in my soul, fluttering, waiting to take wing, a window open, a shaft of light, hope, and life is whole. Oh! A blast of wind, the window breaks, light flickers, sighs.. so quickly dies, the song is gone, time goes cold, hope is stolen, all is lost, why live on. Motionless I move, watching life without, play loud it's endless croon. Hope betrayed, a laughing, mocking tune, of hate. There is no form, life consists of hurt and pain. But then, somewhere... a whisper, calling soft, my name, Open arms reach out, I see a loving face, calling entreating, gently from another place. I feel a stirring deep within, Can it be? Could love begin,the light of life, a miracle, unfolding, encircling my heart. God's gentle love the wing, the tune, the hope of life, a song I now can sing. Derry's Heart Poems © Oct 2002 |
He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds. (Psalm 147:3)
For He wounds, but He also binds up; He injures, but His hands also heal. (Job 15:18) The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:18) The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is upon me, for the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. (Isaiah 61:1) |
We know how weak we are and how big He is
This is my sisterinlaw's brother
Former construction worker Rhett Brown is the embodiment of courage and determination.
His life was changed when paralyzed by a tragic accident,
but he's using his experience to help and inspire others.

~ Why Are You Weeping? ~
The longest nights of weeping, for the hurt that's in my heart, When I cry alone in pain, trapped forever in the dark. No relief of deepest sorrow, Oh God, please set me free, I feel so overwhelmed, what future is for me. I am bitter, I am wounded, I am angry and attacked, I am weak for life is cruel, Can't You turn the clock right back. Back when life was happy, When the sun shone down on me, before this fierce storm, Hit me violently. O Father, why permit, such angry whip to lash? Where were You when it struck as my heart was deeply gashed? You could have stopped it Lord, why allow such awful hurt? My life would be so good now, if I wasn't scarred and burnt. Yet, now I've screamed all this to you, it hasn't changed a thing, So for me to live a life again, some change, I wish You'd bring. For no matter how I try, to figure out solutions, I'm at the end of my resources, nothing alters my conclusions. Oh Lord, I come to plead for mercy, Please empty out my heart, cleanse me, heal me, make me whole, Give me a brand new start. I still my crying and my fear, I admit my ways a flop, I trust You for deliverance, Please undo my tangled knot. Though I can't forgive myself, I believe You have the power, I give my bitter soul to You, I will no longer cower. My wounded heart I give away, to do with as You will, I am an empty vessel Lord, only You can fill. Please pour Your healing balm, deep down into my soul, Though feeling all discarded, You alone can make me whole. Lonely, hurting, grieving, damaged, God stills the falling rain, rejected, tempted, bruised, unwell, He heals my heart of pain. ( and I can smile again ) Derry's Heart Poems © 2002 |

~ To See God ~ Blessed are the poor, Who know their desperate need, God rewards them with a kingdom, Because eternity they heed. Blessed are the mourners, Who repent of all their sin, Blessed are the meek, Who know they're weak within. Blessed are those who hunger, Thirst after righteousness, God fills them with Himself, So their lives will know His best. Blessed are the merciful, God will be merciful to them. Blessed are the pure in heart, His Presence He will send. Blessed those who work for peace, God says, You are My sons, Blessed those suffering persecution. Who have to face man's guns. Blessed those who are insulted, And accused of being wrong, They can rejoice, be glad in God Of Heaven they belong Derry's Heart Poems © 2002 |
~ You're Mine ~
I awoke with aching in my heart, unsure I'd make it through
Feeling such loneliness all day, not knowing what to do.
There's deep pain inside of me, down, where no-one sees,
But I have to get on with life, and push aside my fears.
As I drooped, I felt a gentle touch, a soft whisper in my ear,
Then a gentle Hand reached down and brushed aside my tears.
Do not weep my precious child, for I, your Lord, am near,
Just lean upon My heart, your crying I can hear.
My heart beats always for you, I hold you in My love,
I am here, you can touch Me, don't think I'm far above.
Reach out and pull Me close, I long to be your Friend,
My life in you goes on forever, in Me, there is no end.
Do you feel safe now?
Embalmed in warm Sonshine,
You can trust Me with your heart,
Because dear one, you're mine.

~ I Whisper Your Name ~
Jesus, whenever I am sad and blue I can always lean on You I need Your gentle touch, Because You comfort me so much. You alone, bring back my hidden smile, As You walk with me the extra mile. You stay as my forever friend, You know what lies around the bend. I whisper Your name and listen in prayer, Safe, I am held in Your loving care I have nothing to fear, for You are so near.
