Waiting

.

Child of love in heaven born

Child of dew in the early morn

Angels sing a sweet refrain

Gently, softly till He comes again

Reflections

.

And thus I will

Just sit and mull

Reflecting You

Reflecting me

And the best love story

In the Book of Time

GOD

God

God is

God is all

Who stands between you and death

Who gives you your last breath

His is the power

He is the Father

Who holds you to His breast

Open your eyes and see

Open your ears and hear

Today you have a second chance

You’re a lucky one –

Some had none

All you must do is believe

Fill your heart with love

For Jesus who died to forgive

And your sin will be gone

Completely overcome

And we will live

For ever

Not Easy

Not Easy

It is not easy

To distinguish between good and evil ~

We must keep Jesus in our view,

His beacon of light in our sight,

Remember He is the One to lead the way

And with Him we cannot stray.

Lord

Lord

.

Setting the scene Lord

For Jesus’ return

Paving the route Lord

One foot at a time

Every step that I take Lord

You lead the way

Every move that I make Lord

In a straight line

No slipping or sliding

Nor stumble nor fall

Holding me firm Lord

And being my All.

Talents

.

We came to earth

born naked, helpless,

only our parents, carers,

to keep us alive,

to help us survive,

but He gave us gifts

as the wise men from the east

brought to the newborn Babe,

talents to aid our journey

as we travel through

this life and onward

to return to our Father.

Double Crossed

.

a joyful crowd lined the way

along the busy streets;

no one guessed, no one knew,

that he would be dead,

nailed to a cross,

before the end of day.

a carpet of palm leaves

strewed the path

while the people laughed and cheered.

(how easily are they swayed?)

tricked, trapped, betrayed,

his spotless life exchanged

for that of a common criminal,

scourged, cursed by his people,

he bowed to the will of his father

to bring us his message of love

on that hill named golgotha.

Rebirth

.

Life chewed me up,

Spat out the bones,

But You covered me

With Jesus’ living flesh

And made me whole.

Chasing Shadows

.

This life is but a shadow of that which is to come
A dream-like reality laying down the groundwork
For truth and authenticity and a new life with God
Our Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Three in One.

Jesus came to earth to show us the way,
That without our ego’s we are nothing
But what we imagine ourselves to be,
Chasing material wealth and properties
That will be worthless in the life to come.

Our earthly possessions own us, in fact,
As we strive to keep them safe while we’re alive
And to accumulate even more, but what for?
Where’s the sense of laying up earthly treasure
And receiving no reward?

Why?

.

Why can’t others see

What my eyes are telling me?

Time and again through history

Bad choices by the majority

Lead us into misery – but

Do we learn from our mistakes?

Oh no, not us, we’ll always be

Blind to what some others see

As in the past days gone by

Barabbas was the one set free.
