Hand in Hand

Wedding bells chime in your hearts today

You have said ‘I Do’ in the most precious way

Two hearts become one in sweet accord

Blessed of God and so much adored.

The trials of life are sure to come

But you will stand together to face each one

With laughter and joy, and thoughts so true

Hand in hand, you will see them through.

As days become years and time passes by

Let goodness and mercy stay by your side

Keeping you always in the Lord’s embrace

Kissed by the dew of His eternal grace.

We honor you now with hearts full of love

Praying down blessings from our Father above

With sincere wishes we would all like to say

May everyday be as wonderful as your wedding day.

God’s Golden Angel

She has touched my life with

God’s tender loving grace

Helped me through the pain that

Sometimes I can’t face

She has shown me the silent courage that

It always seems to take

To be a better person each morning

When I wake

She has been my beacon shining with

God’s great, loving Light

Giving me the strength to win

Each battle that I fight

With age-worn hands she has brushed

Away the tears

Circled me with loving arms

To chase away the fears

She has put me in her pocket

To keep me safe and sound

I only hope I’ll walk beside her

When she reaches, God’s holy ground.

Dedicated to Sister Eva Thorpe-1986-My prayer warrior!

Arise Dear Child

Sunlight sparkles on morning dew

Robins sing sweet chords so true

Gentle breezes seem to say

Arise, Dear Child, it’s your wedding day.

Clouds are whispering-dancing free

This wonderous day is just for thee

Old hurts are gone, all is new

So, Arise Dear Child, this song’s for you.

Roses and orchids, their sweet smell send

Lilacs waving like a welcomed friend

Joined this day by a golden braid

Arise, Dear Child, be not afraid.

Glory sings in angelic praise

Your hearts as one to the Father you’ll raise

With holy hands from Heaven above

He will bless this union with eternal love.

So, Arise, Dear Child, take your place

With love and mercy, goodness and grace

Side by side you will step before His throne

Never again to walk alone.

The Very Best Me

With my heart in my hand

I offer to you

The best that I am

The worse that I’ll be

I’ll not promise a thing

That I can’t keep

But with all of my being

My soul and my mind

I do promise to love you

For the rest of time

I’ll make mistakes

As you will see

Cry a tear or two

This is me!

I’ll proabably get mad

I sometimes do

When things go wrong

Or I get blue

When I can’t be strong

I’ll leave it to you

To be patient and kind

You’ll know what to do

Just hold me close

Show me you care

In your own special way

Always be there

And in no time at all

With our love we will see

The very best me

I was created to be! (9-11-2006) Read at our wedding November 10, 2006

Beloved Friends

When time takes us down

The trail of life

It does not ask

For directions

God chooses the path

We meet eternal blessings

And earthly hardships

Along the way

See many a beautiful thing

Encounter the saddness

Of broken hearts

As we travel on

Beholding the miracles

That only faith an bring

We see that within

The mountain’s height

And the valley’s depth

Are the precious wonders

That we call our

Beloved friends.

Morning Song

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

Words speak your halos around the moon

Eternal stars twinkle beyond the clouds

Chirping birds call through the dewy air

“Awake!” “Awake!” “Sing praises to God!”

Time is new a precious gift

Not to be wasted or ignored

Minutes flying into the past

Streams of glory ride the ocean’s tide

Misty fingers beckon to the silent fog

“Come see!” “Come See!” “Sing praises to God!”

Sleepy-eyed children cuddle on Mama’s lap

Coffee gives off it’s beguiling scent to say

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

“Sing Praises!” “Sing Praises!”

“Sing Praises to God!”

Behold the Face

I want to wash all cares away

With living waters so supreme

Sing the glorious’Amazing Grace’

See the smiles of my Savior King.

I want to wear a crown of gold

With jewels so sparkling bright

Live in a mansion like I’ve been told

Bask in the glory of Heaven’ Light.

I want to see my Master’s home

With the angels all around

Smell the fragrance of each room

Listen to each heavenly sound.

I want to be for all eternity

With my Lord and King

Praise Him with heart-felt sincerity

Hear the voices of the angels sing.

I want to walk forever free

With God’s only begotten Son

Talk with Him about all I see

And behold the face of the Holy One.

 

In The Depths

In the depths of your eyes

I can see my soul

It is transparent with

Love for you and you for me

Never have I felt such pride

Such emotion stirring in me

Your will and mine in tune completely

Sharing this beautiful love

Our hearts bound by cords of eternity

This is a love that surpasses the known

A love that walks with the angels

On heaven’s holy winds

Carrying us to a place of sweet joy

Just to be together as we truly are

No pretense-just truth

That in itself is our gift from God.

He Gave His All

No wonder the Father will be angry

When His earthly children fail to see

The miracle of what He had done

When He sent His only begotten Son

This special gift from heaven above

Arrived with all power, authority, and love

Redemtion came as a babe that day

To be the Truth, the Life, and the Way

Bound by the promise to give His all

He willingly answered the Father’s call

His Mama wept her tears of grateful joy

As she held her precious little Boy

Knowing as they were streaming down her face

She had been touched by wondrous grace

Now every mother’s child can chose to be

Redeemed and miraculously set free

“Choose ye this day” is still the call

To serve the One who gave His all.
