Abide (By Water's Edge)



I ask that you abide in me

by water's morning light,

And Oh, your presence ripples sweet,

increasing my delight.

My Lord, your wonder fills me so,

please come and take your place

Within the temple of my heart

that I may know your grace.


To feel your glow upon my "self",

within - where your eyes see,

Reflected on the water, Lord

I find the face of thee.

One more step. . .and closer still,

reflects the water's blue

To cast my crown & sing my praise,

for I'll abide with you.


My Word is given to you,

my Spirit speaks your name.

My Joy will keep increasing. . .

and I'LL never be the same.

Adoration



It seemed like just a moment

That I felt your silent voice,

I have fallen to my knees

And my heart is here by choice.

I wouldn?t trade one moment,

Of my being here with you.

The quiet all around me

Like the feel of morning dew.

Lighted candles on your altar

Seem to dance like angel?s wings,

To the prayers of those who love you

Amidst their daily things.


And Father, if the others

Who are busy day by day,

Would come and kneel before you,

Their hearts would surely pray. . .


For peace, and love, and goodness,

Yet they simply do not know. . .

One precious way to love you,

Through ?Adoration? they would grow.

Their burdens would be lifted

And their hearts would light with fire.

They could go about their busy day

And never seem to tire.


For ?Adoration? lifts the soul

Because your majesty

Fills it up and makes it shine

For all the rest to see.


So Father, what I?m asking

In my prayers to you today,

Is that others will experience

Your closeness in this way


And learn to just adore you

In this quiet time alone,

And thank you for this holy gift,

Through ?Adoration," you have shone.

A Gift of Angels




That you may hear them sometime today,

Is the prayer I solemnly pray,

In flutters of a gentle breeze,

Or moon glow drifting through night trees.

Or in the touch of a butterfly

Or maybe a rainbow in the sky.

Take courage friend, 'tis God you please,

In silent sufferings, His gifts are these.

ANCHOR




With His hand on my shoulder,

His light, shining in my eyes,

There is joy beyond all measure,

and a glimpse of Paradise.

There's a horn in the distance

sounding of't to show the way,

To the sad, and broken hearted

and the tempted, gone astray.


Shining dreams show forth as jewels,

some are lost upon life's shore

Boundless treasure waits, unfolding..

Jesus. . . knocking at my door.


Untold blessings, gracious bounty

miracles on every side

For a world portrayed in shadows

bursting forth when Jesus died.


Jesus is the mighty captain,

and His Spirit is the wind

This earthly ship our vessel

reaching Glory, at the end.


My journey ever onward,

His voice, the sweetest heard

His hand upon my shoulder

my anchor is His Word.

Apple of His Eye




I am the apple of my "Daddy's" eye,

His arms, like billows of clouds in the sky,

Envelop my soul with His love and His smile,

My journey begins with His strength, all the while.

I climb my "great mountain". . .His praises extol,

He lifts through the valleys to accomplish His goal.

Then I, as "His child" remain quiet and still. . .

Listen within, and respond to "His Will".
