Life To Life
Wes Tillett (Colossians 1:15-20)
The red is more fully red in you
The blue is more truly blue
Something lies there, innate in every hue
Christ-less eyes can never construe ….there
The summer night is more prone to fit in you
The morning light is more truly new
The little stream is more like a stream in you
The [...]

Be Not Martha
Wes Tillett (Luke 10:38-42)
Don’t let me be Martha
Don’t let me forget
To enjoy your presence, Jesus
At your feet to sit
Don’t let me be so busy with
Livin’ my life
I neglect to come to you to
Take my showers of light
Jesus says, “Only one thing is needful and it will not be taken away.
But you are so [...]

First Grey Streaks
Wes Tillett (Malachi 4:2)
Stuck within this maze
Pushin’ through without a concrete clue where to turn
I’m gettin’ red in the face
Slightly embarrassed still I swear it’s just sunburn, sunburn
And the clouds pass over the night
And the moon doesn’t yield enough light
I tell my soul to wait
This restlessness has got the best of me
I’m yearnin’ [...]

Gettin Older
Wes Tillett (Ecclesiastes 9:1-3)
Arizona on the road alone
The miles tick off—pendulum, metronome
You speed me up and then you slow me down
The wind has withered to a breathless hiss
The sun has blistered me to sightlessness
You lift me up and then you let me down
Am I really getting older?
Am I really getting older?
Am I really getting [...]

Come What May
Wes Tillett (Ephesians 5:25-28)
Come what may, you remain
Come what may, you will stay
My life, my love, my sole soul-mate
My life will end before this breaks
Turn your gaze to this face
Turn your gaze, see no trace
Of a love that builds, then peaks, then wanes
My love for you will build, by grace
I have you to [...]

Justice
Wes Tillett (Proverbs 24:11-12)
Hey, I think it’s time that you were awakened
I think it’s time that you were awakened
I said, Hey! You there sleepin’ up there in your dream house on the hill
Do you hear the cries of the desperate poor resounding still? Resounding still.
I said, Hey! You there loungin’ in suburbia in luxury
Have you [...]

Grateful
Wes Tillett (Psalm 118:1)
Evening has settled in
And you have sent a complimentary blanket of fog to dim the light
I drive thoughtfully beneath
The steady passing of the brief and artificial glow of street lamplight
Fresh goodbyes are lingering
Pleasantly soft, leaving a bitter/grateful taste on my soul’s tongue
I don’t deserve your love any more than the birds deserve [...]

Where I’m At
Wes Tillett (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
“God never wastes His children’s pain.” -Amy Carmichael
This is where I’m at for now
And each day I come to rediscover
This is not such a bad place to be
All of my longing backward and my looking forward
Have often robbed me
Of my present, blessed reality
If you’ve ever stood within [...]
