Oh, If I Could Fly Away ~

Oh, if I could fly away,
I’d soar into my Savior’s arms
there I would find my quiet rest
and be safe from all that harms.

I would take off and reside,
under the shadow of His wings
I’d be free from all the strife
living in this world often brings.

Oh, if I could fly away,
like an eagle I’d mount and rise
and climb to where His peace
would calm my fearful cries.

I would go right up to Him,
lay my burdens at His feet
and with Jesus I would find
my everlasting retreat.

Oh, if I could fly away,
if I had wings like a dove
I’d soar right up to heaven
and rest in His eternal love.

I would climb so ever high,
till I found His stillness
I would dive into His calm
and sop up His quietness.

Oh, if I could fly away,
I’d take you along with me . . .
and together we’d find rest
throughout all of eternity!

Eternal Love ~

Every day God shows,
to us His undying love
every day He showers
His mercies from above.

Every day God says,
child I love you
every day His grace
makes everything new.

Every day God gives,
us His loving solace
every day His peace
is perfect and flawless.

Every day God tends,
to us with loving care
every day He offers us
our burdens to bear.

Every day God sends,
blessings from above
every day He showers us
with His eternal love!

Lamentations 3:22-23

“It is of the Lord’s mercies
that we are not consumed,
because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning:
great is thy faithfulness.”

The Promise ~

Further than the stars,
that my eyes can see
is the promise of rest
God has awaiting me.

Higher than the moon,
hanging in the sky
is the promise of peace
coming from up high.

Beyond the sun’s ray,
beaming from above
is the promise of bliss
bathed in eternal love.

Wider than the ocean,
deeper than the blue sea
is the promise of calm
waiting just for me.

Beyond what I envision,
further than all I can see
I know heaven is waiting
one day to welcome me!

John 14:3

“And if I go and prepare a place for you,
I will come again, and receive you unto
myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.”

Sticky Note to God 02.18.15

Look Up Into the Heavens ~

When you’re feeling gloomy,
when you’re sad and blue
look up into the heavens
your hope will shine through.

For, when we focus in on,
our destiny that’s above
our sadness will turn to joy
in the light of eternal love.

Where you’re feeling lonely,
when you are all alone
look up into the heavens
envision God’s holy throne.

For, when we gaze upon,
the future God has in store
our feelings of separation
will be with us no more.

When you’re feeling dejected,
desperate for a friend
look up into the heavens
where peace will never end.

For, when we fix our eyes,
on the Kingdom yet to come
everything else will appear
a whole lot less grim and glum!

Titus 2:13

“Looking for that blessed hope,
and the glorious appearing
of the great God and
our Saviour Jesus Christ;”

Roses Aren’t Always Red ~

Roses aren’t always red,
violets can be white or blue
but what never changes ~ Lord
is the love coming from You.

I know I’m not perfect,
but You love me any way
Your love is like the sunshine
that brightens up my day.

You love me like no other,
what more could I need
for Your love comes with . . .
a satisfaction guaranteed.

Your love is in my heart,
I can feel it in each beat
without it my life . . .
would be incomplete.

Roses sometimes are red,
violets may come blue
but Your love for me ~ Lord
remains constantly true!

1 John 4:16
King James Version

“And we have known and believed

in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”

On The Wings of A Dove ~

Sweet Savior Jesus,
perpetual love . . .
sends me His Spirit
on the wings of a dove.

Whispers my name,
on His soaring flight
cooing to me
to be His delight.

Spreading His wings,
to shelter me in
nuzzles my heart
to get closer to Him.

Lands on my soul,
nudges me the way
I follow after Him
all of my days.

Sweet Savior Jesus,
eternal love . . .
sends me His peace
on the wings of a dove!

~~~~~~~~

Song of Solomon 2:14
King James Version

O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock,
in the secret places of the stairs,
let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice;
for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.”

Will You Also Go Away?

Will you also go away,
and turn your back on Him too
will you be the one who forsakes
all that Jesus has done for you?

Will you as well forget Him,
and from your faith go astray
will leave your trust behind
to find your peace another way?

Will you be caught up in the lies,
and give up on the old and desired
will you turn from the true Word
for one that isn’t God inspired?

Will you give up your holy future,
and settle for another death
will you give up on the Holy Spirit
until your dying breath?

Will you give up your inheritance,
and separate from the All-Sufficient
will you throw away His eternal love
for one that can never be efficient?

Will you give it another thought,
before you listen to Satan’s pitch
will you become poor once more
so Jesus can again make you rich?

~~~~~~~~~

John 6:66-67
King James Version

“From that time
many of His disciples went
back and walked
with Him no more. Then
Jesus said to the twelve,
“Do you also want to go away?”

A Quiet Heart ~

A quiet heart,
must be still
to hear the voice
of God’s will.

An inward calm,
is our assurance
He’s in control
our reassurance.

Life in His hand,
is peace known
trust runs deep
His way is shown.

Abiding hope,
is His promise
eternal love
its accomplice.

A quiet heart,
must be thankful
to a God
who is tranquil.

A quiet heart,
must be full of peace
for God’s stillness
to bring it release!
