UNDER THE WHETHER OR NOT TO BELIEVE
True love can weather any storm
if only you believe
in the way love can transform.
True love can weather any storm
and keep two souls warm.
To this truth I will cleave:
true love can weather any storm
if only you believe.

MY UMBRELLA
(a shadorma)
The safety
of your covering
fills me with
warmth as I
find shelter from the storm. You,
Lord, are my refuge.

MERCY
(a shadorma)
Yesterday’s
storms have passed; today
I’m washed clean,
basking in
the warmth of a new daybreak,
wrapped in promises.

ALL GOD’S CREATURES
(a shadorma)
Strong winds blow
through hills and valleys,
a storm is
rolling in.
Heading for shelter, they wait
while she rescues friends.

HORIZON
Enveloped
in uncertainty,
wrapped in blues,
I
wait and
squint my eyes
to
see what’s
on my horizon.
