Poetry of Joyce C. Lock
"My Child"

Each time you come to me in prayer,
I rejoice to hear the sound of your voice.
Whenever you think on my name,
My heart doeth abundantly rejoice.

As oft as your heart bows to worship,
I hear a most wondrous melody.
It's as if all of heaven and earth
Are in a most perfect harmony.

When circumstance disallows
You from the busyness of life,
Come share that time with Me.
It's with you I want to abide.

Matters of the Heart


When your heart aches for something
most precious to your life;
God has placed that heartache,
as He grieves in your strife.

When your heart aches for something,
God wants that for you, too;
For He sent His Spirit,
who resideth in you.

When your heart aches for something,
it's time for a fresh start;
As He forever cares
in matters of the heart.
Proverbs 4:23
I John 3:21-22, 24

There's No Place Like It

There's no place like forgiveness,
down deep within your heart.

There's no place like cleanliness,
where sin first got it's start.

There's no place like some laughter,
where sadness once contained.

There's no place like having joy,
where contentment remains.

There's no place like fulfillment,
where emptiness once lived.

There's no place like in living,
once you've learned how to give.

The Difference

LIKE DEW UPON A PETAL,
LIKE LIGHT UPON THE SNOW,
LIKE BIRDS IN THE SPRINGTIME,
LIKE FLOWERS IN A GARDEN SHOW,
LIKE MOUNTAIN SPRINGS OF WATER
AND CLEAR CREEKS BELOW -

GOD MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE.
HE LONGS TO LOVE YOU SO.

God Still Comforts His Own

If angels can speak great words from above,
And fly with wings of God's given love ...

If chariots can ride over dark clouds,
And instruments can sing praises out loud ...

If sparrows can stand on the housetop alone,
Then God still comforts His own.
