Emotional Transformation

by Derek Taylor December 30, 2021

Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit in me. Cast me not away from Thy presence Lord, and take not Thy Spirit from me. Restore the joy of my salvation. Uphold me with Thy free spirit. Lord have mercy on me.

When the Journey is Done

by Derek Taylor October 30, 2020

You’re left with just a picture that survived a dream. You want to hide away from the world and it’s crazy schemes. If you could stand within this moment, Catch hold of what’s left by the tide, You might sweep away the silt And see what my love means.
