Joy Entered The World ~

Joy entered the world,
Truth found its way in
Grace penetrated through
all barrier’s of sin.

Love came down from heaven,
a Father’s Gift revealed
Light infiltrated into hearts
by His stripes they’re now healed.

The Way emergencies,
Jesse’s Branch shoots forth
a Savior materializes
out of a Virgin’s birth.

Peace broke though,
Flesh took on form
God’s Mercy establishes
Salvation’s only platform.

Hope descended,
God’s Favor comes to Rest
Eternal Life in His Son
finally manifests.

Joy entered the world,
a Messiah to all is born
tis why we celebrate  . . .
on this CHRISTmas morn!

John 1:14

And the Word was made flesh,
and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten
of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.

Sticky Note to God 01.10.18

To Know God’s Peace ~

Oh, to know the peace of God,
to slip to sleep upon its crest
to wade into its soft caress
tis to find my perfect rest.

To wait for the calming relief,
from the years of eroding pain
to find its ebbing tranquility
releasing all my earthly strain.

Oh, to calm the rushing roar,
that rages through my mind
peace asleep upon the shore
waves to me to come and find.

Peace, peace why do you flee,
from the head on which I lie
flood me with your quietness
abide with me until I die.

Oh, how I long to obtain,
a stillness – too still to hear
and then, oh then, my Lord . . .
I’ll be kept safe and near!

~~~~~

Psalm 4:8

“I will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep: for thou, Lord,
only makest me dwell in safety.”
