Random thoughts off the bat

Song playing on my brother's stereo right now: Makes Me Wanna Shout

When I think about the Lord
How He saved me, how He raised me
How He filled me with the Holy Ghost
How He healed me to the uttermost
When I think about the Lord
How He picked me up
And turned me around
How He placed my feet
On solid ground

Makes me wanna shout
Hallelujah Thank You Jesus...

-----------------------------------------

Night wind stirs leaves and trees
In the dead of the evening
at the dead center of space

Silence grips
The ebony hollow of my wrists
Flick flack goes my wall clock
As my soul struggles to find its rhythm

Possibilities abound
And yet hope
Waits for imaginary worlds to start
And yet one runs as the other listens
Scouring the heavens for a sign
A finger for a pulse
or any indication of life
or breathing
or is it dead
or is it gone

As I watch...
As I yearn
As I pray

I am reminded
That death has long been gone
The battle has yet to be won
Not by might,
Nor by power
But by the Spirit

God is a a refuge and strength
An ever-present help in time of trouble
Therefore I will not fear
Though the earth will fail
Though the mountains will fall into the heart of the sea

I will be still and know You are God.
