Goodness and mercy Intently pursue you For our gracious God Is determined to woo you; His lovingkindness Will lead you to turn To bow at His feet So there you can learn How extravagant and lavish His love for you is, How much He wants For you to be His So that He can give you Exceedingly more Than you can ever imagine Or ask Him for; Abundant life That's everlasting Is yours to receive; All He is asking Is for you to believe In His Son, Jesus Christ Who paid for your sins With His blood, sacrifice So that you could stand In God's holy presence As a child of the King, No longer a peasant In filthy rags, blind For our good Father Is exceedingly kind --- April 19, 2016 Inspired by: http://www.aholyexperience.com/2016/04/when-youre-finding-it-hard-to-keep-up/
Great and glorious God Hear us when we call Make us ready, Lord To see Your face, For Your appearing That we might rise with You Not cower in disgrace To not be fearing Purify our souls and minds Consume our hearts, our time Cleansed with Your blood divine, Fill us with Your light inside That we might, for You, shine So we, Your church, Your Bride, Will be ready when You arrive --- April 17, 2016
Cinderella sang Not some dust girl's dirge Her song was oh so eloquent Her cheerful ballad rang Beyond the confines of her room Bound by duty, not by gloom She sang Before her magic moment Before her fantastic gown While battling the 'uglies' That tried to drag her down She sang A song of hope and freedom A song that rivalled birds Her spirit soared within her Her glory could be heard The prince knew when he found her In the tattered rags she wore That she was still the lady That he'd danced with once before He didn't see her poverty Or think that he'd unveiled a fraud Her heart song he remembered Shining as a precious child of God ---

Captivating beauty, Deep mystery to be explored This is the essence of Eve's daughters Reflective of the Lord The crown of God's creation, Her desire is to be sought She is desperately needed; For intimacy, she was wrought The Garden was her homeland A place of glory and of rest Now she strives to find her way there, To life abundant and God-blessed Unveil your heart, beloved And shimmer with all your power For our Creator delights in you This is your finest hour --- April 2005 Inspired by John Eldredge's book, Captivating
Shout for joy to the Lord, All the earth Come before Him With gladness and joy And sing of His worth Know that the Lord is God He made us, We are in His keep We are His people, His pasture's sheep Enter His gates With thanksgiving And His courts with praise Give thanks to Him To His name, praise For the Lord is good And His love endures For all time His faithfulness continues To the end of mankind --- April 1, 2016
