Happy just to Be:


Lord, we are happy just to Be
Wherever that being is
As long as You are happy to be there too.

How much do you love Me?


I love You THIS MUCH LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With all of my heart, with all of my mind, with all of my soul...
From here to Eternity and beyond, if that were indeed possible.

Make sure you never refuse to listen:


..."My heart has been touched by Your Spirit, O Lord
Your Love is an all consuming fire...
We have been placed with the spirits of the saints
who have been made perfect...To Jesus who is mediator
bringing a new covenant, a blood of purification which
pleads more insistantly than Abel's
Make sure you never refuse to listen when He speaks"...
(Heb.12,22-29)

Why dear Lord:


Why is it Lord, I cannot capture You in all the places and faces one is told
we might expect to find You...
Why is it that within a beautiful ornate dwelling, there I cannot find You
Why is it within the noble and wise and all those who hold mighty stations,
I cannot see You...
Why is it that only in a little flower...in the tiny shaft of light,warming and illuming all that may be grand in the eyes of the world...The smallest creature, the humblist soul...How am I able to see You so clearly in all these things and only these things?
I trust You will not give me wealth as the world holds wealth, You will not surround my life with things that hide Your face from me, for no beautiful jewel could excites this heart, as You excite it Lord!
One thing do I desire, to dwell forever, in Your house O Lord, forever in Your house I ask to dwell,to strive my whole life long to make You known so too that others'may be drawn, as I have been drawn to dwell in Your house O Lord wherever Your dwelling may be!

Be still my soul; the Lord is at your side:



Be still my soul, the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief and pain
cleave to your God to order and provide
in every change He faithful will remain
Be still my soul your best, your Hevenly
Friend...Through ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still my soul, your God will undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Your hope your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still my soul, the waves and wind still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still my soul, when dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears.
Then still you better know His love, His heart
Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears.
Be still my soul, your Jesus can repay
From His own fullness all He takes away.

Be still my soul, the hour is hasning on
When we shall be for ever with the Lord...
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored...
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last xxx
