~ Coming Storm ~
Dear Father, hold fast every heart, as You alone can do
May each one find Your tender love, in all they're passing through
It's danger time ahead, throughout the USA
Oh, may Your angels protect them all,
and lead them in Your way
There's heartache borne in every state, in aching fear of loss
Please, comfort all those hurting, with life found at the cross
May eyes of faith keep looking up, to view the future in Your light
Spread calm in every terror, with Your love in the night
Give strength to all the weary, open hope unto the poor
Grant sleep to all the frightened, may each soul know You more
May trust come as a miracle, to find some joy in pain
Oh Lord, please spread Your wings of comfort,
enfold them in the rain

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified,
for the Lord your God goes with you;
He will never leave you or forsake you."

As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud:
and He shall hear my voice.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam

~Through The Storms Of
Life~
We knew the front was brewing, Rising higher in it's wrath, Advancing, churning forces, It's might could not be stopped. We heard the rolling thunder, The ferocity of wind, A threat to every home, Great fear to surely bring. We tasted dust upon the wind With lips e'er parched and dry, Our hearts were in our mouths, Too paralysed to cry. We felt the calm before the storm, That drawing, eerie air, The uncertainty, suspense, Not knowing when or where. We groaned beneath the burden Now, falling to our knees, Dear God, please stay the storm Haste, hearken to our plea. But, still the surge kept swirling As we braced for the approach, Yet, deep within, we shuddered The force would have to blow. For latent heat amasses From pressure built too long, Intensifying conflict By disturbances gone wrong. Perhaps it was, a little system But, after great rotating ways, It's strength had surely festered To thunder forth this day. But, yet, in pattern coursing, E'er swirling 'round us all, There is an eye therein Where peace is ever drawn. Just like a fledgling 'pon a ridge Tucked tight within a cleft, There's calm found in the jet stream Where souls are safely kept. The Father's arms around us, Held closely in His care, While bounded by cold howling winds Our hearts He'll always bear. Soft Whispers from Derry's Heart Poems © 2008 heartwhispers@iinet.net.au Poetry from the Heart We see and hear and feel, the storm as Jesus did, But by all He gave, in death for us His life, we now can live. Everlasting life is the gift He always gives. |
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and
my fortress
My God in whom I trust., He will cover you with His feathers
and under His wings you will find refuge,
His faithfullness will be your shield.
He will command His angels concerning you,
to guard you in all your ways.
Psalm 91: 2, 4, 11
Knowing what to say is not always necessary;
just the presence of a caring friend who prays
can make a world of difference.

~ And God Cried Too ~
Lord, at this terrifying time, we're tentative about this warring earth
We need Your peace within our hearts, the promise of Your Word
You must be crying too, to see all this unrest
Your clock of time now winding down, until man's final test
We cannot tell what's coming next, we need Your mighty hand
May our lives be held in Yours, for all we need, to stand
Though turmoil rage on every shore, eternal peace is ours to keep
Our souls secure within Your love Though our hearts may softly weep
Each day we're safe within Your care, each comrade soldier fighting strife
Dear Father, may our leaders find all wisdom, by asking You for light
May truth expose all evil power, protect us in Your loving will
Hold us in the life You give, for only in Your love our fear is stilled

In the secret of God's tabernacle no enemy can find us,
and no troubles can reach us.
The secret of his presence is a more secure refuge, than a thousand Gibraltar's.
I do not mean that no trials come.
They may come in abundance,
but they cannot penetrate into the sanctuary of the soul,
and we may dwell in perfect peace
even in the midst of life's fiercest storms.
Hannah Whitall Smith
In trusting Him, we not only enter into his rest and peace,
but remain there.
We can’t carry the load of the world on our shoulders,
and we don’t have to.
God is more than capable of handling our affairs and the affairs of this world.
When we trust and let God carry the load,
we experience the tranquillity, the peace and the joy.

~ In His Loving Care ~
Lord, we come to You, The only source of all
Hearts aflame for who You are
Crying in our need, the more, for when we cannot understand
With no-where else to go
You are the only One who holds us,
The only One who knows
When in life we're all a-ponder, what You would want to say
Today we come to humbly ask, Please show us Your way
For we have sight to only see, the things upon this earth
Give us a glimpse to know,
of life's eternal worth
In You, is all that truly keeps, where we can find, to look beyond
To seek to understand the hope where life for us goes on and on
Your loving hand controls the world,
You plant Your feet upon the storm
The seasons flow at Your command, and all creation by Your word
When fury blew upon the mountain, no voice could e're be heard
In mighty earthquake, what was stirred,
or in the fire that burned
Oh, where is found the voice to heed, whispers soft...oh still our souls to hear
To rest within Your tender heart of love,
where there is no more fear.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
Thou anointest my head with oil; My cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

We come together today in a silence, to unite as one to pray
For all those hurting and struggling
in the aftermath of terror's sway.
Our hearts are with those who have lost loved ones and homes,
And maybe feeling so alone.
Our prayers of intercession, uplift all who struggle on with courage
The emergency teams, working around the clock
To re-build and restore, to heal and comfort,
May God comfort and strengthen
each one the more, in all the hurt.

My Jesus loves me, Oh, Blessed thought!
By His precious blood my soul is bought!
He Who loved me so much to die in my place,
Loves me now through His abundant grace.
He Who loves me, loves me still-
Though I'm weak, frail and ill.
He loves me when days are hard and long,
And He loves me when I'm discouraged and lost my song.
My Jesus loves me when I've a glad song,
And He loves me when I've done very wrong.
He loves me when the storms of life fly,
Holding me, caressing me when I'm afraid and begin to cry.
My Lord loves me with a love eternal,
Never leaving nor forsaking me with mercy supernal.
Nothing shall separate us from such love, whatever may be.
Oh, such a Fountain of love my Saviour is He!

I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you
with power through His Spirit in your inner being,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,
may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,
and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--
that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

~ Ray Of Hope ~
A song of sympathy is echoing, with cry of deep compassion still,
From the expanses of a dry Australian outback, to the steamy jungles of Brazil.
For a bridge all across the world of loving hearts, unites together as one hope in the tears,
To comfort the grieving heartache, not stilled by passing years.
Every moment the questions come, maybe yet anew, seeking solace all the more,
For time is capturing the treasure, of the sweet memory of all.
But may the strength combined, of prayer rising to the throne as one,
Reassure the lurking fear, of lovers, parents, daughters, sons.
For though we speak of gathering courage, from platforms of rising might,
Softly fall the broken tears of grief, in the silence of the night.
Then may those tears keep falling, for they will not be wept in vain,
Our precious Father's gentle Hand, is still cradling every pain.
As His tears mingle in the coldest rain, with arms extended wide in tender hugs,
To enfold each broken heart, in whispers of His reassuring love.
For as the bridge o'er troubled water, He comes, so we are not alone,
For in Him, shine rays of everlasting hope - in His peace we are at home.

~ One In Prayer ~
On this sad day of mourning
Our hearts join with yours in prayer,
United we stand in eternal love, your deepest grief to share.
As you cried, we cried with you
So helpless, far away, we watched you scream in pain, in agony day after day.
We stand silent with you, in your memorial of love,
The same strong arms holding you
As your loved ones up above.
God's tears are falling gently, tenderly watching as you grieve today,
Our love reaches across the ocean
There are no words to say. But, we entreat our Father to comfort
As only He can do, to bring His blessed peace
This we pray for you.

~ Tsunami ~
A single moment and darkness rolled in, life paused, not for moments, but for forever,
Still to stare into the unknown, for danger ravaged on our own.
Deep cries pierce the silent empty night, where there is no light,
Only sad grief to roll on and on, where there is nothing left to fight.
And yet, how shall we pray far away, when in our hearts the words just die,
We but gaze at the desolate sorrow, gentle tears are all we cry.
We want to ease the suffering and grief. Helpless, we pray it be so,
Lord Jesus, send Your angels as You will, You alone know where to go.
Touch each grieving soul with Your light, fill that empty loss within,
With no-where else to turn, You alone, know the miracles to bring.
To every heartbroken mother, every father, the lost, the wounded, little ones alone,
Thank You for every tiny precious angel, You carried safely to Your home.
Impart to all those working day and night, wisdom, protection, strength to give,
Pour loving relief in everywhere, to all those crying out to live.
Dear Father turn the waters back at Your command, shine Your warmth down from above,
Cleanse the pain and wash away the fear
Fill inconsolable hearts with Your eternal love.

~ After The Tsunami ~
Shall the sea now be still, with The Spirit of God, yet hovering on the waters,
Though a darkness is still felt, is something more powerful to be purposed.
What is this love, far greater than man, sweeping wide through this land,
Rising up from the flood, in the destruction, that none understands.
We stand in awe as we watch untold hearts, pouring out from within,
A care and a compassion, to give, like the world has never seen.
The light of sacrificial souls, the wonder of those kept safe in their way,
Stories of miraculous rescues, how some were led on that day.
Angels swept down with their care, placed in God's perfect will,
To reach out with a gentle touch, for those God means to live still.
How did that man lift that roof, why did another turn back and see
A child caught in a swirl, and restore her to heartbroken family.
The mother who raced in the waves, screaming, her children be safe,
To all find each other hours later, miracles, none can explain.
While countless others shall never be recovered, secrets locked, not to be found,
Loved ones screaming in pain, dear God, You know the depths, each crying sound.
You alone hold the keys, You unlock all we can't know,
We can but kneel, humbled, as You lovingly build Your eternal kingdom
Overflowing with Your own.

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son
into the world that we might live through him.
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us
and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Oh, our hearts of love reach out, to each broken heart today Crying in the devastation, the loss, the hurt, the pain We stand together with them, on knees of tender prayer Be all they need, compassion Lord, wing our comfort there May assurances of help, soften sad and shattered dreams May love within the darkness, the deep sorrow intervene Mere words cannot convey, nothing said can be enough Oh Lord, we lift our prayer to You, to hold them in Your love Touch each with a special promise, of peace within the night Enfold the little grieving ones, in tender loving light Wrap gifts of secret wonder unseen mysteries reveal Whate'er You have in mind, the love needing to be real Empower the country, neighbourhood, The firemen, gifts of shelter, food In all that seems so questionable Give miracles of strength, may love be inexhaustible Soft Whispers from Derry's Heart Poems © California 2007 and Victoria Australia Feb 2009 heartwhispers@iinet.net.au |
~ Love's Sept 11 Kiss ~
When he dialed his wife with fear And called his love goodbye, I took his hand, I held his heart in mine, to never die His wife, I held her close, when words exploded in her ear I whispered to the children And cradled them so near The lady on floor Twenty three I murmered 'Life will never end' Then called her, ' Come it's time We are forever friends' I gave the precious words to say To the pastor at the base My courage was his own That he might keep his place I traveled on the planes Ever present with each heart Giving sight to see beyond With the love that I impart When the flames and pain were high They saw Me, I was there The ones who took my hand They knew my endlless care I was with each grieving family And held them in their grief I felt the tears and anger My arms were underneath I whispered with my love That heaven's more than this I'm drawing all who love Me I hold them with love's kiss.

~ There Is Only Forever ~
A great group of the chosen gathered to ponder, close by heaven's gate
They had a pressing need to know how all had come this way today,
upon this chosen date
Though borne so safe on angels' wings, a heartbreak trail was left behind
They asked why sorrow was to be life's parting gift,
if that is all that would remain of years to find
And while they prayed and thought so much, The Lord of glory walked by then
And said, there's much to know of why you came, for all My love to comprehend
You fulfilled your days upon the earth, your courageous purpose there is done
I knew for you, what pain the memory would become-
So I called you, to unveil Myself, for your dearest ones to know my love
They live on now to overcome
Each day they will seek to see your face, so your leaving them, is your embrace
Departing is a gift, you gave, to unfold more of My amazing grace
They will be sad a few short years, missing you and all they had
But, sadness serves to bring them near, and then one day will fade,
when they realise there is eternity, to be glad
There are no tears, no fears to keep, only rejoicing now.
For all ahead I'll give them strength,
and give them hope and I will make sure they're truly fed
They will know you are not dead
You gave your life, as I have mine, to taste of death
to see divine. All who love Me are already here, in heart they fly
In all I am, each heart is blessed, in Me, we never say goodbye

"The gift of heaven"
Come To Me Come with me to my kingdom.. just take my hand and I will lead the way
Walk with me, through my home land and together we will turn, the darkness into day

Come with me...our Father's waiting and eternal love...is what all will receive.
Come with me...to my kingdom ...Just take my hand...and have belief in me
Come to me...leave behind your pain and sorrow...
if you trust in me and my Father...your soul it will be freed
Come with me...and I'll help you through your journey...

Walk with me...and I'll always be beside you...
and together we'll turn...the darkness into day

~ Weep Paradise ~
The darkness fell about me, my feelings couldn't feel,
I lost the movement, beauty, my wings, beat, beat, cry, but none could heal.
My eyes, film over, cannot see, a net of bondage, woebegone
Struggling alone, fight, fight, the power,
Grasps, the liberty is gone.
The light, shutters, bars me out, like lashes from a raging fire,
As sound of rushing wind, billows, billows, tearing down in blackest mire.
No peace, no peace, gasping beat, the air, air, for mercy, cry,
But, none hear the words, I cannot say
And none will hear the why.
Raw death, stench, ripping life, away, the shadow, shroud,
Where now, no life blood, future, but waves lap, lap, incessant sound.
Weep here, weep darkness, weep paradise, majesty, bend, bend, low
Collapse here, broken, nightmare-
There is no-where to go.
But, Lord, we cry a miracle-
This time, it is too much, too much is
Broken, buried, lost beneath the gavel-
Oh Lord, we need Your touch.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me...
to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness ... Isaiah 61:1,3

Middle Click for song ~ ♫ DearMrJesus♫
~ Are You Crying? ~
Dear Father, You never turned away, not e'en to dry Your tears
You saw, You heard, You felt each cry, You held them in their fear
Please, tell us of Your secrets. What is it that You know
As You carried them on home, away from all this hurt that overflows
May each little heart be healed, left behind, who saw so much
O Lord, we pray today, they will feel Your tender touch
Your promises are sure, You are with us in all grief
Comfort, comfort, bless them all, as every need You meet
Cause each heart from shore to shore, to intercede in this
Fall upon our knees in sorrow, for how we all have sinned
So each day, awake or sleep, we see the fear within their eyes
We must tell them of Your heaven now, Dear Father, make us realise
Just how unsafe we are, if Your life is not in everyone
You care so much, You died for all...
Are You crying in Your love?

God may be invisible, but He's in touch. You may not be able to see Him, but He is in control.
And that includes you--your circumstances. That includes what you've just lost.
That includes what you've just gained.
That includes all of life--past, present, future.
--Charles Swindoll
