PURE BLISS

I’m glad that earth is fleeting,

The troubles of today,

Someday will all be over,

As  sorrows fade away.

I rejoice that earth is fleeting,

That pain will  leave no trace,

Joy and wonder will be mine, 

When we meet Face to face.

Alleluia!!  Earth is fleeting,

Heaven only will remain,

For every cross I carry now,

A crown will be my gain.

O bliss to know earth’s fleeting,

The years go whizzing by,

I chant, ‘Te deum,’ as I praise,

My God who reigns on high.

I dance for earth is fleeting,

And though His world has charm,

When the call for me shall come,

I’ll leap into His arms.

MAGNIFY THE LORD WITH ME - Psalm 34

Add caption

 Let’s magnify the Lord together,

Come join me as we glorify His Name,

In distress I called to Him to save me,

He came in haste and took away my shame.

Let’s  celebrate His never ending mercy,

We’ll clap and sing aloud in grateful praise,

Reflecting the radiance of  His beauty

Our joyful hearts will stream abundant grace.

He commands His angels to surround us,

They guard us so we never need know fear,

God stoops low so we can taste His goodness,

He shelters in His heart those He holds dear.

Seek the Lord and You will lack for nothing,

He alone can satisfy your soul,

He is the Living Bread that comes from heaven,

To  sanctify, to nourish and make whole.

If you desire life in all its fullness,

Seal your lips from falsehood and deceit,

Turn away from every form of evil,

Take refuge in His love and pursue peace.

THE SPECTACULAR

Give me spectacular,

Grant me a miracle,

I pleaded as I prayed.

Speak as You did at creation,

Command,  “Let it be,”

And in an instant it will be,

According to Your Word.

Why flawed this cry,

Though wrung 
From anguished heart?

Flawed because,

It directed God to act,
According to my will,

Not His.

Wisdom whispered tenderly,

“Pray like this,

 “Not mine, but let Your will be done.”

And then the miracle,

Quietly unfurled,

And at its heart was found,

A matchless love.

I did receive a miracle.
