I will arise
I will awake
With a melody you've placed in my heart
And in the day, as through the night,
I will sing a new song to you
I've come to know a faithful God,
The One who was and is unfailing love
Each day, to know more of his heart,
is to desire the flourish of his will
Lord, may I remain in your love,
pray your presence
will be my place to dwell,
freedom to worship the Lamb of God,
The Worthy King
to praise with unending glow
......,And as I worship, Oh Lord, may you alone be forever glorified!

One Name Under Heaven.
Listening to the rain battering the house walls
Running down the red brick into waterfalls
Dripping into the driveway; flooding the highway
Staggered, unmeasured, voluptuous, rapturous.
Within a minute the deluge was right in the middle of us
Choosing us as it were; taking us away to another place
A heavenly place full of worship and grace.
Listening to the wind screaming around the eaves
Down alleys and entries; wrecking havoc in gardens
At the front, side and back of us.
Trees hold staunch but branches break away
Lying in gardens a hundred metres beyond.
The wreckage was prominent at the coming of the dawn
We all could see what needed to be done.
The wind…
Beautifully true. Thanks for sharing.
Write To Worship You.
I write to worship You my LORD
That is what I was born to do.
Your Holy Spirit who guides my hand
From empty page to full; in praise
Of all the adversities that You helped me through.
I write to worship You my LORD
With all sorts of words that help me say, thankyou
For all the works that You have completed in me
Towards those most in need of Your
Compassion, Love. Grace and Truth.
I write to worship You my LORD
In days of deepest darkness and times of light
Where Your word excels beyond all in my sight
That makes me run for cover in fright
My Companion, is Your Holy Spirit…
