Walking down a wooded path, I see life all around In the trees slowly awakening, the little yellow flowers blooming like drops of sunshine on the hillside.
Oh, how beautiful You must be!
My eyes are drawn by the plethora of blues, browns, and greens! Oh the colour! Oh the shades! My mind cannot take in all the wonder of your world!
How beautiful You must be!
My ears are tuned to the silver stream singing its praises to You. A robin trills with exuberant pleasure, while a dove coos mournfully.
Oh, how beautiful You must be!
The cool, refreshing rain on my skin, the warm, consoling sun on my face, and the agile breeze dancing through the stately trees are signs of life; of spring; the glorious awakening of majesty!
God, how beautiful You must be!
The fragrance of dewy leaves and moistened earth mingles with the pungent pines, spruce and cedar and tantalizes my senses.
Lord, how beautiful You must be!
I am enraptured by the resplendent, dazzling creation that tumbled out of Your heart and spilled from Your mouth! That you just uttered a word and from it flowed life is unfathomable to me!
Oh, how much more beautiful than this You must be!!

Call on His Name (song)
You feel lost, you don't know where you're going
You have it all, but it doesn't satisfy.
You have a hole, way deep down in your heart
And you can't fill it, no matter what you try.
Well, lift your head, it won't be much longer
Till you see what's right before your eyes
When you can't find your way, just call on His Name
He'll be right there beside you.
When you don't know what to do, get on your knees and pray
And He'll send His light to guide you
You start to wonder, "What's my purpose anyway?"
You feel alone in your big group of friends.
You search for peace, but you don't find it anywhere
You feel despair; you just want it all to end.
But don't give up, you'll find what you're needing
You are so loved; more than you can comprehend
When you can't find your way, just call on His Name
He'll be right there beside you.
When you don't know what to do, get on your knees and pray
And He'll send His light to guide you

Lovely (song)
The Father waits for her to come,
Arms open wide, eyes full of love
He says, "Come to Me, beloved one.
"Feel My embrace; you're not alone."
But she doesn't hear. She doesn't know;
She doesn't think she's beautiful.
She doesn't know that she is worth
Much more than anything else on earth.
She's lovely, her Daddy's girl
His little princess; she's the centre of His world.
She's lovely, His Sweetie Pie
She is the apple of her Daddy's eye
Her Lover stands, His eyes aglow
Watching her live on earth below
She thinks, "There must be more to life than this!"
He just wishes she could taste His kiss
'Cause she needs to know; she needs to see
How close to her He wants to be.
She needs to feel the burning fire
Of His love for her; she is His desire.
She's lovely, His spotless bride
He sees her standing by His side
She's lovely, in every way
She grows more beautiful day by day
You need to hear, you need to know
Your Father made you beautiful.
You need to know that you are worth
So much more than anything else on earth.
You're lovely, so beautiful
Outside and in your heart and soul
You are lovely; God made you so
And He just really wants you to know.

My Soulmate
I know not who you are,
Yet my heart is rapturous at the thought of you.
I know not what you look like,
But my mind sees you vividly.
I know not your characteristics or traits,
Still my heart thrills at the very idea of spending a lifetime loving you.

The Experience
Silence fills my ears
Nothing is all I hear
Daylight fades to black
There's no turning back
Then I feel myself falling
And I hear myself calling
Suddenly, nothing.
Slowly I blink my eyes
I look around with surprise
I'm blinded by the purest light
I behold a wonderful sight
I can hear the angels singing
And a hallelujah chorus ringing
Then, He's before me
And everything else fades away...

Alone
I am alone. Very alone.
I stare up at the vast, empty sky,
And think aloud; "Is this all there is to life?"
I walk through the silent woods. I am alone.
Utterly and completely alone.
Not a bird is chirping, not a squirrel is scampering.
My heart longs to be filled.
It is crowded. I am standing amidst a thousand people.
Still, I am alone; dreadfully alone.
My soul is screaming, but no words reach my lips.
At last, I manage a feeble utterance, "God, help me!"
Suddenly, I'm not alone.
I stare up at the vast, empty sky,
And think aloud; "Is this all there is to life?"

My soul is screaming, but no words reach my lips.

My Beloved
My Beloved
I know that you have become weary and feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. Come to Me and I will give you rest. Bring all your anxiety and fear to Me and leave them with Me. I will keep you in perfect peace when you keep your mind on Me and trust Me. I care about you.
Know that I have given you My peace. I do not give to you as the world gives... and takes away. So do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid. I will fill you with joy and peace if you will trust in Me.
Instead of dwelling on confusion and anxiety, present your concerns to Me in prayer. And be thankful. Then let your mind dwell on things that are true and noble, things that are right and pure, things that are lovely and admirable ~ all that is excellent and praiseworthy. And the peace you will have ~ My peace ~ you will not be able to explain to others. No one can understand it, but you can have it.
Live your life according to My instructions, and I will be with you; because I am the God of peace, My peace will stand guard over your heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
