Never full,
never sated,
desire for You
is unabated.
Love for thee
never undone,
I call to You,
Holy Spirit come.

A Failed Protest – (By Tom Balistreri)
My soul resists with protest,
and fails to enter into Your rest.
But then through trial I understand,
peace is found within Your plan.
Fall To Folly – (By Tom Balistreri)
To succumb to temptation
and run to folly,
can leave a soul
with melancholy.
Yet joy can revive,
and hope can live,
for we have God,
who is quick to forgive.
Not Envious – (By Tom Balistreri)
Envy not the wicked man,
who seems to have success.
For his life will end in folly,
his death will bring no rest.
Constant Conundrum – (by Tom Balistreri)
Life is seldom considered humdrum.
More often it’s a constant conundrum.
But with prayer and Gods grace,
one can succeed as they live in faith.
Your Panoply – (by Tom Balistreri)
Praise and worship I give to thee,
Your marvelous panoply.
You fulfill and are all in all.
Your children rejoice to hear Your call.
The Shadow Of The Almighty – (by Tom Balistreri)
He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.
For in the hands of God,
are the souls of the just.
Safe from deadly pestilence,
and from the fowler’s snare.
In the shadow of the Almighty,
I find protection there.
You Alone – (by Tom Balistreri)
You alone are worthy of continuous praise.
You alone are holy and the ancient of days.
You alone deserve the praises that we sing.
You alone are God and King of all Kings.
Make Sacrifice – (by Tom Balistreri)
Of lust and pain make sacrifice.
Your eternal gain is worth the price.
Your spirit will grow in holy power.
And you’ll be prepared for your final hour.
Worthy Of Praise – (by Tom Balistreri)
You are worthy Lord of all praise.
You give all life and length of days.
You guide with love and teach Your ways.
Your mercy makes sinners amazed.
