Quiet Time by John Alexander

Quiet Time By John Alexander

Spending quiet time with the Lord daily over a prolonged period provides us with an opportunity to release the hurts inside and to heal our souls. The Lord not only forgives but also forgets all our trespasses, leaving us clean in His sight, inside and out.

It’s hard to believe as I began writing in rhyme during my quiet time in early 2020 that I’d still be writing two years later, sharing what the Lord places on my heart. I’m grateful to be able to share my poetry journey with the Faith On Every Corner family each month. I pray the poems I share this month are a blessing to you.

Blessings, John Alexander

Poems by John Alexander

Quiet Time

The stillness of the morning soothes.

I gently rock. The glider moves.

This quiet time to start my day

Fulfills my need to write and pray.

I search the scriptures in Your Word

To know the truths I’ve not yet heard.

I pray You’ll help me understand

And share Your thoughts throughout the land.

I pray I see Your words unfold

To heal our hearts that have grown cold.

I pray I share and can convey

Your love that heals in every way.

May Your loving kindness shine.

May others know Your love divine.

Lord, guide my hand in verse and rhyme.

I thank You, Lord, for quiet time.

Time To Share

I thank You, Lord, for time to heal,

To read, to pray with You, be real.

In prayer, I’m spending time with You.

Each day I sing a song that’s new.

I thank You, Lord, that through this time

I’ve come to share my heart in rhyme.

I thank You, Lord, You help me see

That others matter more than me,

That I can share what’s in my soul

To help someone find You, be whole.

I’m not a pro, not trained in art,

I simply share what’s in my heart.

I pray that the words I write and share

Will help someone to know You care.

I pray once life regains its speed,

These rhymes still touch someone in need.

A Time In Prayer

I come to You my Lord in prayer

Before it’s light, this time to share.

You know my heart before I speak.

You help restore the peace I seek.

I’m sad to see the world so wrong,

New deaths reported all day long.

I pray dear God this soon will end,

Lord let Your love on us descend.

I pray that those who don’t know You

Will find Your truth they never knew.

I pray that while the world’s on hold

You warm my heart where it’s grown cold.

Lord help me search my heart and soul,

Discover places not yet whole.

Help me accept what You reveal

And bare my soul that You may heal.
