There is a song in the rain,One filled with loneliness and tears.The pain of yesterday has caught up.It has caused so many fears.They try to take hold,Spinning all kinds of tall tales.But in the end, they knowThat truth always prevails.The Son comes in the morning light.These fears must flee.His truth heals all of my wounds.His truth is what sets me free.Jesus, Jesus, Your truth always prevails!Let the whole world seeThat You are My God,The Righteous King! Biography: Laura Lee Deschenes is a born again Christian who is in love with her Lord Jesus. She is married to a wonderful man named Seth ..read more

Jehovah Shammah means “the Lord he is there”And as he cares for the flowers for me he does care.He knows every little detail, none could know me better.It is he who crafted me like a beautiful sweater.For he has been with me since the time of my birthAnd he will abide with me when my soul leaves the earth.His presence was so precious all through my lifeIn the good times of peace and the hard times of strife.When my feet wandered too often to that thorny placeHe still followed me there extending his graceAnd said“My daughter, stop drinking from the broken wellThat leaves you thirsty and as emp ..read more

The world was trudging throughThe waves of blood,You paved the way of howThe ruinous sounds ofA pair of swords can beTransformed into a loving bellWhere the sparkles of love dance.O, Jesus! You gave the hollow men Most noise of wisdom;They realized knowledge can't be foundOn the pages of coloring booksBut be found within like the seeds sleepInto the dark room to come outIn full bloom some day.The birds dared not to sing aloudAmong the wailing voices,The rain dared not to fallOn the congested blood, was feared ofLosing her continual way.The flowerbuds could not bloom in full,Thought of losing ..read more

Grace--------In the thickness of time lies threads unseenGrace weaves its tale, a tale serene.From the Heavens above to earth down here,A warm embrace, a hug, so snug and near.Not earned nor won, this gift to us bestowed,An ocean of amazing love has flowed.This grace, unearned, our souls have strength to wakeTo give each heartbeat, each breath we take.Just as this grace will dance and share a song,We too will need to sing and dance along,To mirror God’s love with one anotherSo more may see His grace to discover.For I Am But a Cloud-----------------------For I am but a cloudSailing calmly in t ..read more

Everything is done beneath the heavensWhether good or evilIs beheld by the host of heavensAnd by the throng of the devilSo focus only on the one who resident in heavenAnd use the earth as His footstoolYet, He came from the heavensTo this sinful coven To exempt all from the liturgy of evil And from the accuser of the brethrenWhat a tragic shift!The one at the zenith of the heavenCondescended Himself to the lowest levelTo save the world beneath heavenFrom the accuser of the brethrenHe gave Himself to die in place of allSo all could be just and fitting to His growthHe established a standard for ..read more

The BeggarMark 11:15-19I sit outside the holy grounds,My leg pulled close beside my chest.So many pass me on their way,To worship God and to be blessed.But I’m ritually unclean,Along with others of my kind.We sit and wait outside the gates,We sit with cups and bide our time.Some lambs and doves are driven up,To be a sacrifice prepared.Recall the God who led us here,Out from the land where we despaired.But I sit here upon these steps,Unable to continue up,To the place of Him we praise,A place for which I’m too corrupt.A family walks back down again,Their lamb the priests would not accept.And t ..read more

Laughter has always been a part of the human experience, and Christianity has not been immune to its effects.
