Healing Touch...a poem by Rosemary

Healing touch

One hurting broken person  

Touching another hurting one

In His name

With tenderness and compassion,    

And in that connection

God’s love and healing can flow through.

One broken contrite soul

Touching another bruised spirit

In His name

With tenderness and compassion,

And in that connection

God’s love and healing can flow through

One sinful selfish heart

Offered in repentance at his throne

Willing to submit to God’s will

Can be a channel of His love

And in making connection

God’s love and healing can flow through

How Do I Approach You?...A poem by Rosemary

How Do I approach You?

How do I approach you Lord?

Do I come as a little child?

Trustingly, as to a loving parent

Climbing upon your knee      

Trusting that your

Perfect, mighty, tender love

Will shield, protect and keep me

Or 

Do I come as to an awesome king?

Bowing in submission and reverence

At the throne of a mighty conquering warrior

Trusting that your

Perfect, mighty, tender love

Will shield, protect and keep me

Or

Do I come as a bride to her husband?

Sharing each others’ hearts

In deep and intimate ways

Trusting that your

Perfect, mighty, tender love

Will shield, protect and keep me

Or

Do I come with hidden face?

In awe before the powerful creator

The very author and giver of life

Trusting that your

Perfect, mighty, tender love

Will shield, protect and keep me

How do I approach you Lord?

You are all these things and more

You are beyond my understanding

You are unique

Your love is perfect

Reaching, satisfying every need of human heart

How do I approach you Lord?

I approach you as my God

Trusting that your

Perfect, mighty, tender love

Will shield, protect and keep me.
