Poetry & Prose ~~ "Always The More"

As I reflect upon the countless blessings

            That You have showered down on me,

I am thankful for each and every one of them,

            Even for those blessings I cannot see.           

For unconditional love that flows from Your heart,

            For the breath of life You breathe into me,

For the gift of salvation and words of eternal life,

            For the gift of grace and mercy in a time of need.

For the gift of forgiveness that is freely given,

            For the unspeakable joy that floods my soul,

For the peace that calms the raging storm,

            For the gift of healing that makes me whole.

For Your light that shines in the darkest of nights,

            For the gift of faith and hope when all else fails.

For the song of deliverance when I am afraid,

            For the freedom I have to worship You above all                             else.

For Your gift of redemption, my soul is redeemed.

            For your Presence in my life that You are here.

For Your promise that You have overcome the world,

            And Your words to us to be of good cheer.

For the gift of my family, loved ones and friends,

            There are not enough words to adequately express,

For the many ways You have shown me Your love,

            And that through them my life is truly blessed.

           

For You alone are the One I worship and praise,

            You are the One I am living for.

For You, oh Lord, are a God Who is never-the-less,

            For You are a God Who is always-the-more.

Poetry & Prose ~~ "In the Palm of His Hand"

"IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND"

As we journey through this life,

We may encounter mysteries we cannot explain,

But in our hearts abides a true and living hope,

As we trust in His holy Name.

Though the pathway before us might seem unclear,

And we may not know what lies ahead,

We can walk with faith and confidence,

Because of what Jesus has said.

Let not your heart be troubled,

You believe in God, believe also in Me.

I will come again and receive you unto Myself,

That where I am, forever you will also be.

He is a very present help in times of trouble,

He is our refuge, strength, joy, and peace.

Though mountains may tremble and the waters may roar,

His grace will strengthen us in our time of need.

With His Word living in our hearts,

We know He is faithful and His promises are true.

We can enter into His rest with hope in our hearts

Knowing the victory is won and He will see us through.

For He knows what our future holds,

And His plans and purposes will forever stand.

He will never leave us nor forsake us,

And He holds us tenderly in the palm of His hand.

Psalm 46:1-3; Isaiah 41:10; Isaiah 49:15; and John 14:1-3
