Radical Love


Whether deep seas or mountain peaks
Whether long roads or narrow gates
Whether wide arms or bright skies
Your love is all I seek

With bended knees I come
As the exhausted wreck I became
Seeking the one
That’s given me my name 

He comes in Spirit
Into our inner being
So hard to grasp fully
His love unending

Love so radical
So crazy and unexplainable
Too much to contain
Unable to sustain

It dwells in my heart
Strengthens my roots
Your power is all I seek
For it never goes weak

You extend my dreams
You guide my choices
My God you never sleep
But hear all our voices

Lord let them cry out louder
Let them starve for you
To be filled with your power
And give glory to you.

 

(Based on Ephesians 3:14-21)

My poems are written about the good, the bad, everything in between, mostly influenced by my life. If mountain high or valley low, there is always something that drives me, something that keeps me going. As you read my poems you will discover that they are all connected. I hope you will enjoy reading them.
