The 'Lovely You

The world tries to squash us into its mould
warping our character as we grow old.
Nibbling away over the passing years
trying to make us assertive and fierce.

I'm so glad that you have worked it all through
and decided to stay as the 'Lovely You'

The love of my youth is still the love of my life.

The love of my youth is still the love of my life.
For forty five years my adorable wife
has been faithful to me throughout the years.
Through the rough and the smooth, the joy and the tears.

Written after reading Proverbs 5 this morning (19/05/2012)

What Is This You Have You Done?

What have I done? …….

The gate to Eden barred.
Man by sin was marred.
Death entered into life.
Now man must live by strife.

What has He done? …….

He died upon a tree.
Set the prisoners free.
Life entered into death.
Now man is no longer bereft.

Love Took The Cup

Love took the cup
and drank it up.
It's empty now for me.

Love climbed the hill
fulfilled God's will
and suffered there for me.

Love cried out loud
before the crowd.
Laid down His life for me.

Love bowed His head
until He was dead
so that I might go free.

Love turns mere water into wine

Love turns mere water into wine
and earthly things become divine.
Swallowing hurt and hatred up
it sweetens every bitter cup.

Love satisfies the deepest thirst
and always puts its' loved one first.
It does not hurt, but seeks to please
and even love its enemies.

In Christ alone

There is a place where I can go
A place of quietness that I know
A place of serenity and peace
Where all sorrows and sadness cease.

O blessèd place of perfect rest
In Christ alone am I so blest
In His arms of love I can dwell
Safe from the harm of death and hell

He's alive!

He's alive! He's back from the dead!
He has risen just like He said.
Conquering death and the grave.
Rising with mighty power to save.

He's alive! Come with me and see.
For He has won the victory.
Rejoice with me as the good news I tell
He's risen triumphant over death and hell.

Just as I am

Lord, just as I am I come to You
sorry for the wrong things that I do.
Standing here before Your throne
Thankful that I'm not all on my own.

For Jesus is standing here besides me
and to You, my Father, makes His plea.
He's interceding and praying for me
for by His death He has set me free

Unique amongst men

Jesus You are unique amongst mankind
Almighty God and man in flesh combined.
For in You Lord Jesus we all can see
the Fullness of God dwelling bodily.

The altogether lovely One from heaven
and by far the loveliest of all men.
God of love from heaven descending
Beauty all other beauties transcending.
