Songs of my songs are poems that are based upon the Bible and also from my faith journey. These poems were composed between 1983-to the present. These poems are my songs of thanks to God for all of his blessings. My purpose for sharing these poems is to provide encourage and inspiration. There two long poems in the collection. 'The Pilgrim's Journey' tells the story of the search for spiritual renewal. 'The triumph of Christ' is about the death and resurrection of Jesus and his victory over the devil.
