"Where are we going?"
I ask You each day
"Just come enjoy Me"
Is all that You say
Can I really let go
Despite all the world says?
If I just seek Your face
Is that really what's best?
Shouldn't I examine?
I must need to explore
You must need some action
Please let me do more
But You're telling me, "No,
It won't work that way,
Because then you get glory
In the presence of gray.
It has to be Me
From beginning to end
So I get the praise
And knees choose to bend.
So trust Me, I love you,
What more can I give?
My death bought Your life,
Now be free and live!
You've never had answers,
Never figured Me out.
Every moment of Creation
I brought about.
Now leave striving vanquished,
All ponderings cease
Fixate just on thanksgiving,
Author of peace.
Remember My love
Faithfulness in years past.
Remember My victory,
Your enemy's been cast.
Rebuke all his thinking
Anticipate his lies
Alert and victorious
Truth shatters his disguise.
So run with freedom
Leap into today
Open your heart
Invite Me in all the way
Love without limits
Love recklessly
Love all those around you
But first love Me
I bought you, you're paid for
You are well worth the price
Deeply loved, known, most cared for
An offering of sweet, fragrant spice
Not a day will be lost
Waste is never My plan
Your trust is My glory, Kate,
May I please hold your hand?"

Spring is here
New life arrives
Warmth fills the earth
Hidden life revives
You touch it all
Every flower bud
Your gentle, gardener fingers
Nourish with love
This is Your element
And what my heart misses
Eden remembered
Perfection reminisces
Colors brilliant and new
Scents of sweet redemption
The breeze of grace
My guilt exemption
Bright blue skies
Your obvious smile
The sun's rays adopt me
You claim me as Your child
Draw me into bliss each day
Captivate my heart
To pursue Your beauty in all things
Enthralled
Your works are just a glimpse of all You are
