Storms.
So it's spring here once again
But the leaves just keep on falling
Why must it always be so cold-
It's Your sunshine that we're needing.
The leaves were replaced today
With stinging wind and blinding rain
Another storm to freeze my wings
And shake our tired walls again.
My Joy is strength from You alone
It carries no reason to despair
Still, my hands tremble as I write-
Oh, Jesus, it's so cold here. -
Just a Little.
We're a little older
Just a little bolder
We build our walls a little stronger
And hold them up a little longer
My mind's a little unsure
Heart's a little insecure
I need a little sunshine
Feeling a little confined... -
Just Another Battle.
You can see this doubt is shaking me again
And all this fear has begun a war inside
It feels like its breaking through
All the trust I thought I had for You
It's plundering my heart
And pillaging my joy
All my walls are broken down
All my streets deserted now
There's nothing left here for me
And I'm so hungry, Jesus, please,
Would You fill me up again with Your peace
Still my heart...
Remind me of Your faithfulness again
Show me where You have always been
Cause if I still have You, Jesus
Then I still have Joy
If my heart is broken
I will still have a voice
So still my heart,
And teach me Jesus, how to sing,
Show me how to praise You
Like I'm not scared of anything. -
Invincible, is who You are.
We are broken today, Lord,
But Strength is in Your Name.
Jesus.
Jehovah.
Rock.
Shelter.
Unbreakable.
We don't understand, God,
But Peace is who You are.
Exceeding everything we try
To wrap our minds around.
Don't you see we're about to drown?
But no,
You walked upon these waters.
Master.
Merciful.
Mighty.
Emmanuel.
God with us.
God above us.
God below us.
God greater.
God higher.
God immeasurable.
God unstoppable.
Invincible, is who You are,
Redeeming us,
Restoring us,
Reminding us,
That You're still on the throne. -
Psalm 61:2
I keep on stumbling and falling again
I keep on hearing your words in my head
Your heart is a force
Trying to pull me back in
And I try to keep running
Can't let despondency win
I keep running to Jesus
Keep holding to the rock
This all hurts like hell
But He bore hell on the Cross
What do you do with a love
That's controlled you, consumed you
You still leave me breathless
But I'm trying to learn
To breathe out and breathe in
And then back out again
And to keep running to Jesus
Just to keep holding on
They say it all just takes time
Before you stop feeling so lost
But He provides the Joy to overcome
The strength to start a new day
He's the one who gives and takes away
I'll lean on Him and praise His name
And wait. -
Limerick!
There was a candlemaker named Schnider
Who found herself inside a spider
Discovering it quite gooey
She whispered "oh phooey!"
And decided to make use of her lighter!

Song of the Crucifier
I stoned You with the rest of them
We cast our lots and cracked our whips
I denied You, crucified You,
Curses poured out of my lips
You held Your hands out in love
We laughed and nailed them to a cross.
We thought it was over and done
You cried “It is finished”
And we danced for we had won.
I watched You finish Your last breath
Before an earthquake pulled me down
Thunder shook in anger of Your death
And You won’t find me laughing now.
And honestly,
I don't expect a thing from You
I’m not worthy to even say Your name
And honestly,
I don't have the strength to look up
I'll only collapse from the weight of my shame.
After the thunder comes a silence
After the storm follows peace
I hear a whisper in the stillness
I hear You say that You love me
Over and over and over again,
And I cry as I lay here at Your feet
It’s too much to carry…
That You could truly love me
Your kindness only magnifies my sin
You whisper "Child, My burden weighs less
Than a grain of sand upon the shore
Of that Sea of Forgetfulness
I drowned your sins in before.
And honestly,
I love you more than anything
I want you more than you even want me
And honestly,
The day you nailed me to that Tree
My blood covered everything.
It will always and forever be enough.
My grace is sufficient.
My love is eternal and true
You don’t have to carry anything-
I’ll be carrying you."

Broken Melody.
Is it supposed to be this hard-
To hurt this much?
I've losing control and now I fear
I'm losing touch...with You.
I play our melody so beautifully
In front of everyone
But lately I've been missing notes-
I wonder if its noticed that they're gone.
It's been a while since I walked alone with You
Been a while since I called out Your name
I've been afraid to be alone with thoughts of You-
I know I'll only collapse in my shame.
What once was joy has faded to defeat
Lifeless fists, hanging by my sides
But yet, still fists, and if You give me strength to trust,
They might be willing again to try and fight.

Be Still and Know it's Still the Cross
Lord, I come
Bringing my thoughts to You
And these words that You have heard a thousand times.
Confessions and offerings
Praises and pleas
In hope of true direction, I fall upon my knees.
And I hear You say,
Be still,
Be still,
I already climbed that hill
I rose again to give you peace
It’s already been done you see
And it’s still the Cross that sets you free
So be still
Be still,
And know That I am God
Here I come
Holding out my heart so tired
And these thousand times I’ve failed you just today.
Overwhelmed and scared
Ashamed and unprepared
Fearful of consequences that I could never pay
And I hear You say,
Be still,
Be still,
I already climbed that hill
I rose again to give you peace
It’s already been done you see
And it’s still the Cross that sets you free
So be still
Be still,
And know That I am God

The Sweetest Song
What's the saddest song you've ever sung?
Would you sing it to me?
Together we can fix the words
And make it something sweet
We'll add another verse or two
Give it a happy-ever-after
I know it hurts to breathe the lines again
But you can't hold the tears forever
Sing your song
I'll sing mine too
And we'll play our melody for all the people.
Let them see
We'll be okay
The sunshine always comes after the rain
Will you walk the streets with me?
Thru all the dancing city lights
We'll hold each others heads up high
Our voices raised throughout the night
Let the hopeless know there’s Strength that lies
In giving up the pain
It’s the sweetest song we'll ever sing-
Somebody already bore the rain.
Sing your song
I'll sing mine too
And we'll play our melody for all the people.
Let them see
They’ll be okay
The sunshine always comes after the rain...

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! I realize I haven't posted in quite a while. Anywho, here's a bit of encouragement to start off the new year with. Have a wonderful New Year's. =]
Here’s to another day
Keep my chin up high
Only by Your grace
Can I make it this time
I’ll show myself approved
I’ll fall in love with You
Study to know Your ways
Rightly divide Your Truth
Give me the strength inside
To strive to be done
Only with Your Grace, Lord
Can this battle be won.

Is He?
Butterflies and flowers
Both die and fall away
Fleeting moments of happiness
But what is True shall stay.
We cry for understanding
As we mourn for those we’ve lost
But the painting isn’t finished yet
And the end’s well worth the cost.
The questions forever block the way
Of the passage Peace has made
Yet...in spite of understanding sought,
Is God good, or is He not?

Sailor's Warning
The sky showed scarlet this morning
When I pulled the anchor away
The thunder even sounded a warning
But I determined to steer my ship straight
Now I wait for my Jesus to show Himself
To conquer these thrashing waves
They threaten to sink my helpless boat
My heart cries out for His grace.
A wave of despair rushes over my deck
I cling to the rails in fear;
He silently rises up through the storm
With a whisper of “Peace, be still”
He didn't need to conquer the waters
Because the wind was at his command;
And I never once lost my way in the storm
For my ship never left port of His hand.

Hidden Hope...
There’s a song hidden in the back of my heart
I know if I sing it it’ll tear me apart
Caught in the crossfire of His will and mine
The melody coaxes me to surrender this time
But my Opponent, I said, was nothing to me
Simply an obstacle to claiming the key
To a life of my own
To be happy and free.
That haunting refrain won’t ever touch my heart
For this is how I choose to be
This is how I choose to be.
I denied every thought, every need of this Man
A fruitless attempt to be free
I wanted to change, but I saw nothing to obtain
I’d only fall apart again, back into this sea of hate
I don’t have that kind of faith
I’m falling farther every day
Don’t pray for me
I don’t need Him now.
[Though the song inside plays differently]
This is how I choose to be...
This is how I choose to be.
[Is there any hope for me?]
~Katie~
(Just to clarify...this poem isn't about me. ^_^ )

Waiting...
This wind whispers through the grass
Dew seeps in to touch my back
Under these stars I feel so close to Him.
I ask about you and what I’ll find
And fantasies swirl around this mind
Whose thoughts flutter off to
Hopeful places
Where my wings find rest from these
Worn-out phases.
What makes me truly tremble
Is one day I’ll really find you.
Whisper it through the continuum...
And I will whisper back again
"I love you"
~Katie~

Shut your eyes...
But don’t hold back the tears
Don’t hurt yourself by keeping it inside.
Tell me now...
Who do you cry for tonight?
Breathe in deep now and open your eyes.
Name your fears...
Pull them out from under your mind
Be honest with yourself this time.
Give it up...
Surrender it to Jesus; don’t fight
Before your heart leaves you again tonight...

Restraining Anger
Don’t think that your stare can pin me to the ground
I’ve heard all that you have to say
But this time you managed to dig yourself deep
It takes nerve to treat someone that way.
No, I won’t stand and watch like I normally do
I won’t apologize for voicing the truth
Toleration’s walls have fallen thru tonight
I rise from the rubble with determination and fight.
There’s an anger in me I cannot describe,
It surpasses the amount of your spiteful lies.
But to let it escape is something I cannot do
Because then...I would be no better than you.
-Katie-
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Proverb 16:32

So I really haven't written or finished anything new in a while...this is a really old one I wrote over two years ago. o_0 Thought it was sorta appropriate...it being summer and all...maybe a bit late but it makes me laugh. Enjoy.
Ode to the End of School
Summer has arrived
In spite of these detested studies I've survived
No more Algebra for you and me
No more equations of b-cubed times 33
Forgotten are adverbs and conjunctions
I refuse to diagram any Grammar functions
Memorizing dates in History
Of battles and what-not
Will just have to wait
Cause I doubt that of those I'll even have a thought
Of protons and electrons I'll be lectured no more
I'm happy to finally be rid of that bore
So let's forget all this mess
It's time to give my brain a rest
Summer has come
Let's go have some fun!~Katie W.

Eh...just something I scribbled down today. ^_^
No, He doesn't always stop the storms,
But He does control the winds and rain.
Remember, when it seems that you are all alone,
Jesus is as close as the whisper of His name!
~Katie
You guys have a good week!

Mkay...so...here's another Psalm adaption of mine. Hope you enjoy. =)
Hear my cry, O God
Attend unto my prayer
From ends of the earth I will cry
This is more than my heart can bear
Lead me, Lord, to the Rock
The Rock that is higher than I
For You have been my Shelter
In Your wings will I hide
Hear my voice, O God
Hear it in my prayer
Hide me from my enemy
Preserve my life from fear
Lead me, Lord, to the Rock
The Rock that is higher than I
For You are my Strong Tower
In You will I abide
~from Psalms 61 & 64
