Take each day ...

Take each day and hold it tight

From earliest dawn to dark of night

So much to see so much to have

Our God is content with seeing us glad

Moment by moment and hour by hour

We can watch our days beneath God's power

We hear the birds;  the humans, too:

Our God is present with His "I love you" 

Take each day and hold it tight

From earliest dawn to dark of night

So much to see so much to have

Our God is content with seeing us glad

We have the good times and  have the bad

The times when nothing can make us mad

The times of laughter;  the times of grief

God is ever present with His sweet relief

Take each day and hold it tight

From earliest dawn to dark of night

So much to see so much to have

Our God is content with seeing us glad

Take time to listen and take time to care

Be open handed and  ready to share

Don't gloat when wealthy or weep without

Our God is our Everything inside and out

Take each day and hold it tight

From earliest dawn to dark of night

So much to see so much to have

Our God is content with seeing us glad

Savor everything

Appreciate each moment, appreciate each day 

Hear all that is beautiful along the long way:

The flower that's blooming; the bird who will sing:

There is something so beautiful, in almost everthing.

The stormcloud, that's booming; the river that winds;

Grass that is covering..  whatever earth gently binds

Everything's  a blessing; yes everything that is

We have only to start looking to discover life's bliss

Take time every morning;   take time every day 

When night time is falling: watch  lights slip away.

Each second and minute;  every hour and year,

Resolve it inside you to be observant and hear

Our hearts will be singing; our lives will be sung

Because we've  discovered what Eternity's brung:

A life full of happiness and a world full of joy

Something this world can never ever destroy..

I feel so good inside

Today is a little bit,  cloudy; but,  I feel so good inside

Because I've found that ray of sunshine no amount of cloud can hide

It is the love of Jesus and the energy of our Lord,   most High

Who lives within my being, keeping me happy,  morn to nigh

It's not the happiness of having or the fleeting feeling of fame

But the sweetness that comes from knowing I'm protected by Jesus' Name

Peace forever unending and a loveliness yet to be described 

Is living within my being it's become God's Sacred shrine

So let not your heart be saddened or your soul be given into blues

When  storm clouds soak your being with a weather you'd never choose

For God almighty can fix things in a way that no other one can

He'll turn your sorrows in to sunshine and every blue He surely ban

Look and see

Every minute, every second; every molecule of air we breathe

Is a witness and a prophet for the God in whom we believe

Every flower, every grass blade every creeping.. crawling bug

Is an echo and an invite from our  God who wants a hug

Let us love Him and let us praise Him in everything we say and do

Life is passing and so fleeting before you know it, it is through

Oh see the mountains and the valleys and the sand so pure and fine

All the secrets of our Creator are written in them: seek and find

Listen closely to the morning, to the noontime and  the night

So much loveliness so much melody so much from our God most high

Let us love Him and let us praise Him in everything we say and do

Life is passing and so fleeting before you know it, it is through

Take some time, now; yes..  this moment; set aside that phone in hand

You will hear it and  you will see it: all you need to understand

Close your eyes now, rest a moment, before you go and do your stuff

Let God's spirit move within you and hear Him saying  "I am enough"

Let us love Him and let us praise Him in everything we say and do

Life is passing and so fleeting before you know it, it is through

Jesus said to me

Mary Magdelen's account

The grave is empty, don't linger here

Go tell the others and do not fear

Sufferings came but did not last

They had their time but had to pass

I saw you weeping; I heard your cries

The pains you carried were no suprise 

For I saw them all inside My Heart

Come rest with Me; let healing start

The grave is empty, don't linger here

Go tell the others and do not fear

Sufferings came but did not last

They had their time but had to pass

You weren't like others you would not run

From the Cross that held God's Only Son

You stood right here so brave and true

So now I say these words to you:

The grave is empty, don't linger here

Go tell the others and do not fear

Sufferings came but did not last

They had their time but had to pass

Don't shrink away from what God wants

Despite the jeers and groundless taunts

Of those who seem to know it all

You are the one who hears His call

The grave is empty, don't linger here

Go tell the others and do not fear

Sufferings came but did not last

They had their time but had to pass

Look at this Love, here.

Look at this Love, here, has there been  any greater

Than what we are seeing here: done by our Creator

Surrendering His  offspring, His Only, Divine Son

He rescued our beings from all that we've done

O love  of our Lovely, Divine, Loving Lord

He created our beings and sent down His Word

To rescue us forever from the everlasting death

He wore what we wore until His last breath

He looked like one broken; like one in great trial

He bore all our insults and our greatest denial

Like a lamb led to slaughter:  he carried the tree

That would hold Him till lifeless, on the hill of Calvary

O love, of our Lovely, Divine, Loving Lord

He created our beings and sent down His Word

To rescue us forever from the everlasting death

He wore what we wore until His last breath

They laughed and they mocked Him: the very same ones

Who knew  of His kindness and the  miracles  done.

Forgetting His healings: His great selfless love;

They cried out for His destruction: this,  lovely, Divine Son

O love, of our Lovely, Divine, Loving Lord

He created our beings and sent down His Word

To rescue us forever from the everlasting death

He wore what we wore  until His last breath

We stand here, remembering, that great awful day

When the Blood ran so freely from the Lamb who would save

Every being and every person, who would willingly run

To His Heart, so  pierced and so opened to receive everyone

O love, of our Lovely, Divine, Loving Lord

He created our beings and sent down His Word

To rescue us forever, from the everlasting death

He wore what we wore, until His last breath

So now we will live it: this faith, that we have received

From the hands of the Almighty in whom we were were conceived

Into the the path of His Eternity,  His way ever divine:

Our hearts will remain restless until with Him we dine

O love, of our Lovely, Divine Loving Lord

He created our beings and sent down His Word

To rescue us forever from the everlasting death

He wore what we wore until His last breath
