I saw the Son of Man
Walking down a dusty road
Carrying on His shoulders
Such a heavy load
I whispered in awe
That sweet holy Name
The One, the angels
All proclaimed
Then with a nail-scared hand
Of love
He beckoned me to come
I felt the warmth
Of His embrace
As I met the Son of God
Face to face.
The peace of God
Came as Light from above
Hurrying on
Angels wings of love
The glory of God
Came inside my soul
Carrying away
All fears and woe
As my praises went up
Into the heavenly skies
He dried the tears
Of this grateful child.
Fifty years have come and gone
Since you said your ‘I Do’s’
Confessing your love-becoming as one
Happy and blessed with love so true.
Joy came that precious day long ago
When God joined you as bride and groom
You have always been able to show
How smiles can light up a room.
Blessed by the Father to be Mom and Dad
Sheltering and caring with each new day
Giving all the love that you had
To guide, to teach, in your own special way.
Times were sometimes hard and tough
Others were sweet and good
Through everything your love was enough
You always did the best that you could.
Today as these sweet memories come back to you
With recollections of how your love stood the test
Have a ‘Happy Anniversary,’ and remember this too
God, along with all of us, do wish you only the best.
Jumbled words
Fell from my mouth
As I made my excuses
Why I didn’t have to listen
To their voices of concern
For my eternal soul.
“It wasn’t my fault!”
“Everyone is doing it!”
“It’s my life and I’ll do what I want!”
“You can’t tell me what to do!”
“I’m grown now!”
“You are not my boss!”
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
Flames of fire now
Lick at my soul
I knew everything in my arrogance
Thought I was something
On my own and told my parents so
With the cruelest of attitudes
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me of what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
“Daddy, I am so sorry!”
“Mama, can I wipe your tears away?”
“I want to feel your cool hands of love
Upon my brow again!”
“It is so hot here!”
“Darkness!”
“Oh, God forgive me!”
Cool hands caress my face
I open my eyes
Daddy’s prayer so full of love
Wakes me from my horrible dream.
I am awake now but eternally changed
For with love all is not lost!
I have listened and finally heard
Their voices of sweet, saving love.
Hope danced across my heart today
Bringing joy in such an amazing way
Doubt had said, “This can’t be done!”
Truth spoke, “Just have faith in the Holy One!”
Questions departed when the answers came
My mind settled down with belief in His Name
Why? moved aside as the Word was spoken
His love had made new all that was broken.
Blessed Creator of Heaven and Earth
Glorious Redeemer by Thy Son’s holy birth
Holy Father, Giver of all
Blessed Savior of those that do call.
Ready and willing to enter your hearts
Love and forgiveness to you He imparts
Day after day, forever the same
All you do is call on His Name.
Love and contentment are mine to claim
My peaceful existence is always the same
Never more fearful with my Lord I am brave
Because I gave to Him my sin-filled heart to save.
My Lord carried my cross up Calvary’s hill
Bore on His back the stripes that would heal
Forgave me my sins, made me white as snow
So with out-stretched arms up to Heaven I go.
I am the one who did not return to say “Thank You.”
I am the one who mocked in my ignorance
I am the one who spit in His face
I am the one who pulled out His beard
I am the one who scourged Him
I am the one who nailed Him to the cross
I am the one who gambled for His robe
I am the one who denied Him
I am the one who betrayed Him
Yet He did not judge but loved.
I am the one who sat at His feet and cried her tears of gratitude
I am the one who pressed through the crowd
I am the one who was to be stoned when caught in my disgrace
I am the one who was a blind beggar but now can see
I am the one at the well who was given ‘Living Water”
I am the one who was dead but now my mama cradles me
I am the one who was a lunatic but am now in my right mind
Because He did not judge but healed.
I am the one who knelt at an old-fashioned altar
And accepted Him as my Savior and Lord
I am the one who daily brings my love and offerings of praise
I am the one who is set free from my past
I am the one who will not taste God’s eternal wrath to come
I am the one who is His Bride
I am the one who will ride the ‘white horse’ across the skies of heaven
I am the one He died for on cruel Calvary
I am the one who believed John 3:16-‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’
I am the one who the Great I AM calls His Own
I am the one who is the beloved of the ‘Beloved’
Because He did not judge but saved.
Words of love are spoken
When acts of love do meet
Hearts are fulfilled-not broken
When words and acts do meet
Cheerful cries float on the air
Made by children dark and fair
Hope abound and tarry there
Keep them from all worldly care
Time does have a plan for everything
All laid out very carefully
But alas not a soul can see
What the results are meant to be
So, hope abound and tarry here
Make us part of the plan
To take us up to that holy sphere
Where God will walk with His created man.
Cradled by the night
Alone with my thoughts
Yet darkness cannot consume me
The Light holds it at bay
“What Light?” you ask
‘His Light!” I say
Love that comes only from Jesus
Sweeps over me in waves of glory
Compassion abounds to me
His Truth bears the cross of time
Strengthens all who would come
“Follow Me!” says Truth
“I will show you the way
To find this miracle.”
“A new life of eternal hope
Built on the foundation of faith!”
I am surrounded by His unconditional love
And I am at peace. I have His Light
The Light of Jesus Christ!
In the presence of my Dear Friend
No sin can stand-all torment ends
Forever grateful to walk this way
His Resurrection power has come to stay
Battles have been fought to set me free
Defeat is no longer a choice for me
Anger and hate have met the mighty Foe
Rejection and self-pity have been told to go
Rage went on down it’s tormenting road
Shame had to release it’s terrible hold
Oh! Wonderful Risen Glorious King!
Let the anthems of Your praises ring!
Beautiful rapture fills my soul
By Your mercy I’ve been made whole!
It is finished! It is done!
In the Presence of the Holy One!
