Tranquila (una poema)


This is my first "share-able" attempt at a poem composed in Spanish. Enjoy!



Tranquila
por Daniel Rainbolt


Llora en arroyos
Sepultada detrás de la sonrisa
La pena lucha
Invisible
Perdida en una cosmos de modales



Thanks to Fr. Guillermo E. Gabriel-Maisonet for always being ready to proofread my humble attempts at Spanish literature.

Pilgrim's Hymn


Lyrics to my latest song!


Pilgrim’s Hymn


Lord if I must needs stop my ears from Siren songs that this world sings
Then grant to me oh God to hear a million angel voices ring
And if you would I close my eyes to temp'ral treasures offered me
Then give to me oh God I cry more visions of my mighty King


Lo-o-o-ord be glorified in me
Lo-o-o-ord you're all I need


So Lord when it is your will to mold my heart through suffering
I pray I would remember still Jesus who suffered joyfully
When doubts and fears would cloud the day the promise of your cross stays true
The Lamb who suffered for my shame is faithful e'er to see me through


Lo-o-o-ord be glorified in me
Lo-o-o-ord you're all I need


Preserve me Lord until you come with trumpet blast and angel roar
Bring me safely to your home where time and sin will reign no more


Lo-o-o-ord be glorified in me
Lo-o-o-ord you're all I need
