Lift Your Face to God

LIFT YOUR FACE TO GOD
YOUR TEARSTAINED FACE TO GOD
LET YOUR CRIES BE HEARD
YOUR HEARTBORNE CRIES BE HEARD

ABOVE YOU AND AROUND YOU
UNSEEN BUT SURE AND TRUE
IS THE GOD WHO MADE YOU
WHO WILL GLADLY PULL YOU THROUGH
.
THOUGH IOTASIZE THE KNOTHOLE
THOUGH HUGE THE PROBLEM NIGH
HE HAS A WAY OF TURNING
THE MOTH INTO A BUTTERFLY

Agape in True Blue

Agape as trueblue as our summer sky

as truegreen as leafy summer trees
as proofsolid as the hefty oak
which all around we see
agape from the heart we see
exchange shown real
in 'Jesusdeeds' we now do
agape, God's endrearing, searching way
embracing His wandering sheep
who thus Spirit held-
one's weary soul, by Him within, refreshed ,
becomes fully saved in time -brand new.
agape, strength to go another tortured mile
agape, ever forgiving all past sinfilled wiles
agape, cleansing in His blood 'washaway ' style
Agape in trueBlue and trueGreen
forever saying , "I Love You"
