Trusting

by James Riscinti

Now, how can I know, who I am here,

if I do not know, who I’ll be there.

With all my doubts and all my fears,

I think I’ll just sit, I think I’ll just stare.

Then God reminds me, the One who adores me,

by grace & mercy, goes aways before me.

For God has destined each step that I take,

all that is needed, all for my sake.

Yet I still tremble, yet… Continue reading →

The World

by James Riscinti

The world is a very strange place, it’s true,

just as strange as me and you.

Trying to understand where we’ve been,

is quite an endeavor to enter in.

As it is, our thoughts remain,

perhaps the world is just insane.

Until I look without the L,

then the world, it’s secrets tell.

Special

by James Riscinti

The way you’re created and all you’ve been through,

makes you special, makes you, you.

There’s peace content when we see,

and when complete, God takes us home.

Morning Poem for Violators

by James Riscinti

Our debt is more than we can bear,

you will see why Jesus died.

For it’s only by God’s Sovereign Grace,

Evening Poem of Learning

by James Riscinti

Even in the valleys deep,

one may cry, one may weep.

By God’s Mercy comes a Song,

of deliverance, from what’s wrong.

Thou I do not understand,

yet, All is purposed by God’s Hand.

What I know, I need to learn,

thou it’s painful, thou it burns.

The experience that teaches me,

of all of which I need to be.

So if in heartache, I suffer loss,

I know it’s not a wasted cost.
