SWEET PRINCE

16 Sep

 

“And “the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.”   Revelation 4:8   KJV

 

✝

Oh, that I could cup You in my hands and give to another to drink.

✝

Oh, that they could taste the sweet water that flows through

my body and trickles gently from my lips.

✝

Gentle Spirit, unbridled, yet housed within

– what peace you settle here.

✝

Kissed by Heaven

– Sweet, sweet soul.

✝

My praises could never foster a strong enough

command to properly honor you.

✝

Dearest friend – treasured Prince

– could words ever express the love

You gave to me to share.

IN JESUS’ NAME

22 Dec

 

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:10-11 

—

Life, I claim You, In Jesus’ name,

Beauty pure and free.

—

Love, I show you, In Jesus’ name,

All the world to see.

—

Lord, I praise you, In Jesus’ name,

You’re everything to me.

—

Gentle Days and tender nights,

throughout eternity.

.

.

I smile with every sun lit sky,

as gentle breezes blow.

—

I joy with every star filled sky,

the Heavens all aglow.

—

I warm with every tender bud,

drawn open by the rain.

—

I know they were all given me,

when I called in Jesus’ name.

.

.

Life, I claim You, In Jesus’ name,

Beauty pure and free.

—

Love, I show you, In Jesus’ name,

All the world to see.

—

Lord, I praise you, In Jesus’ name,

You’re everything to me.

—

Gentle days and tender nights,

throughout eternity.

GENTLE

19 Nov

 

“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”  Mark 4:39

The Holy Spirit, what delightful sensations.

 

Like standing enveloped in a dense morning fog, the sound of the world is nearby, but the cool, moist blanket keeps you at peace and detached.

 

Like being snuggled inside a warm woolen blanket; covered head to toe.

 

Protected from the sharp bitter cold; warmly – softly held.

 

Like floating in a cool river on a dry, warm day.  The harsh, sharp noises filtered and replaced by the sound of rushing water.

 

And yet, like electricity surging from every point in your body, shooting to the center and then out through the top.

 

Sending you boldly, without fear, to complete the task at hand.

 

Oh, Holy Spirit. Gentle us today.
