Morning Prayer
As I grow older
I feel myself slipping
Away
But
As I lift my eyes
This will suffice
In Your Presence
To now live
Later,
To share in
Your
Eternity’s Paradise!
Praise You, Lord God
Praise You
Amen!
Morning Prayer
Tag: Praise God
Beauty!!
Beauty
Before beginnings
Of time, space, energy
Matter
Only heavenly ecstasies
Existed
Even so You decided
To create
Your own eternity
Written
In fleshly forms
After You spoke
Light appeared
Your breath touched the
Ground
Dust arose and we
Walked
Up, rise up
Live, enjoy my
Presence
Stay within my boundaries
Of love
Then time shattered
As we rejected You,
Rebelled,
Lost our place in
Your paradise
But
You were not finished
With us
You came, died
Took our place
On that cross
So a waiting universe,
holding its Breath,
could see
Your Beauty
May God Bless Your Day. Praise God!!
Praise
Praise
Singing, it flies reaching
For celestial skies.
This joy, how it blesses.
Undeserving, I turn tired eyes
Toward your face.
Joy, transcendent of all
I have known, glory
growing at your feet, at the
Bottom of your throne.
With hands reaching upward, this
Form of praise
Follows, lips that shape sounds
To raise your glorious name.
A Prayer
Dear God, Creator, of all the Universe and Beyond
I give you all the praise and honor. Thank you for being who you are, for the beauty of your face and the beauty of your great heart. Thank you for the gift of your one and only Son and your Holy Spirit. Praise you God for who you are!
I pray your blessing and protection on all of your churches world-wide, your family, and the people trying to lead them closer to you. I pray we could all be more of what you want us to be so that it is not I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me. I pray especially for the church of my country, America, that we would be less caught up in the culture and more caught up in You, Holy Lord.
I pray for your whole world that every soul on it could come to know you as their Lord and Savior and come to know how much you love them. May we as your church show them your love! I pray this in the name of your most beautiful, gracious Son,
Amen.
Half a Sigh
It never ceases to amaze me how old I am. I feel like I shouldn’t be any older than thirty something, but unfortunately, the calendar tells me I’m 68 going on 69 this spring. It goes by way too fast. People used to tell me that, and I didn’t believe them, however, now I do!! Don’t take your life for granted. Put it in God’s hands. Let Him love, protect and direct you. Have a blessed day. Praise God!!
Half a Sigh
A blip, a beep
On your eternal timeline
God,
All I am
Wrapped up
In half a sigh.
Some go quickly,
Some of us must be
More patient
To wait
For your eternal glory
Held together by hope.
Let go of this world freely,
not a permanent home
where life glows but for a
Moment
Held within the sighs of
promise and Your glory.
The Eternal Now
God is eternal and unchanging, always with us even when we are not aware of His presence. Unseen physically, but not unfelt. You can be as close to Him as you desire. He will never turn you away. He will be closer than a brother. His love is absolute, deep, passionate, profound, unchanging and perfect. He is with you every second and every heartbeat. He is your Eternal Now.
An Eternal Now
An Eternal Now
Looming on the horizon
Getting closer as I view
My life and thoughts.
Beauty unsurpassed
Intertwined within this life.
Lingering to watch
And hope for such
A life
Of pure joy and wonder
Unexperienced before.
it is Always Today in His
World, God’s level of existence,
Never out of his sight and care,
This Eternal Now!
