Joe Mórdeno

The Master’s Touch

You are God’s masterpiecePoised with confusing grace.

Brilliant, elegant with vision bright.Earthbound but heaven destined.

You are His greatest delight.

At The End of The Day

At the end of the dayWhen you’re no longer at playI linger in the dreams of men,Never ending, always bracing.

I'm the WORD that brightens your way.
