I Will Not Fear
c2012 Lisa Lyons
I will not fear for You promise to stay by me
Who can I fear when You’re by my side?
You are my strength, giving me song
Keeping me safe in Your arms…
Help me to run to You when I feel scared and all alone
Knowing You’ll hide me safe within Your shadow
Let me love the way You love me, open my eyes to see
You desire only good for me…
I will not fear for You promise to stay by me
Who can I fear when You’re by my side?
Blessings to you for a weekend that is full of love, friends, family, and may you know without a doubt that the love of God is all around you. Slainte, Lisa

There was a time in my life when I romanticized living in the past…walking around with crinolined skirts all day, riding by horse and wagon to town, dancing in ballrooms. You get the idea. But the past few days showed me the wonders of our modern day and all its conveniences. Like many others, we lost power due to the March snowstorm that hit the east coast. No showers, no working toilets, no warm stoves and no computers. And I realized how much I love those things and appreciate the marvels of technological advancements. That first shower last night after the power roared back to life….I now feel moved to compose a tribute. 🙂
“Ode to Hot Water”
Sluggish, stiff and lank, the people waited
Stepping into steamy streams of warmth, they rejoiced
Muscles relaxed, scents of soaps and shampoos surfaced
Standing longer than they should, the water surrounded and comforted
For a time, the people did not take for granted
If you are blessed with hot water and warmth today, rejoice! Slainte, Lisa
The waves crash and fill the senses like the voice of God
The sound washes to shore peacefully like the whisper of a breeze
Seagulls dive and call like clarions on the wind
Salt air blows and clears your mind like a good night’s sleep
Soft sand surrounds your feet like the sweetest down
Peace descends on your heart….you are there, you are loved, all is well.
Slainte, Lisa
