IT IS ENOUGH

   

It is enough,

Eternal Love

Now fills my soul,

Ineffable my bliss,

There is no more.

I now possess,

All there is

this side of life,

And all there is

In Heaven,

When I receive

The Bridegroom of my soul,

In the Holy Eucharist.

A Wedding Blessing - Lindsay & Denzil

A vision in white lace and satin,
Serenely she walked up the aisle,
That reminiscent smile of her mother’s,
Brought tears to many an eye.

The charming young groom at the altar,
Looked tenderly down at his bride,
Their eyes locked together a moment,
As she took her place by his side.

The sacred words chosen from Scripture,
Each hymn that was sung made it clear,
Their covenant vows to each other,
Would seal them in Christ evermore. 

We prayed that this newlywed couple,
Made one now as husband and wife,
Be granted the gifts of patience and love,
And laughter midst challenge or strife.

May they always know joy without ceasing
May their troubles be fleeting and few
May the Lord bless and keep them forever
In His love ever faithful and true.

THY WILL BE DONE

 Here I am Beloved,
I come to do Your will,
I have wrestled long but now,
My pliant heart is still.

You've collected all my tears,
You heard each trembling sigh,
You rent my soul asunder,
Acquiescent now I lie.

The fight within has taken wings,
Submissively I cede,
Before Your will I am prostrate,
At last O Lord, I yield.
