A Baby Leapt That Day

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Mary’s welcome blessing at the door
Elizabeth’s utterance, a prophecy of power
A privilege and honour
An understanding
Knowing the precious gift, was brought to her

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Mothers greeting each other in joy
In Love and innocence
Dreaming of days of happiness
Unaware of the sorrows to come
Or the gifts of joy they hold for all the world

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Great favour was upon them
Two precious children
still in their mother’s wombs
One the Prophet beheaded by a King
The other a suffering servant destined to be a King

A baby Leapt that day
A dance of ecstatic joy
Two highly favoured ladies
Miracle carrying, Sisters of the Spirit
Bearing gifts for the world
One to point to the other
One to redeem the world upon a cross

As The Dawn Breaks.

As the dawn breaks, the night’s watch has ended.
You chose to rise, a chance on the day,
Prayer of thanks, a safe night’s sleep the angels guarded
The door is open the bed is made, a chance to start a new day.

A kiss and a hug, thanks for loved ones, the life they bring
Step into the day, an invitation accepted, new discoveries along the way
Trust God’s guidance, a hope without knowing, a new song to sing.
If you get lost, stumble or stuck, ask for a path to lead the way

Every day, you have no idea what life will bring.
Don’t get stuck in old lifeways, let your gifts shine and sing
And when the day is ended, and the sun begins to set
Give thanks to God for all the challenges you’ve met.

Prayer

Prayer, a conscious effort!
Within my heart, my soul music.
A cry for peace within a chaotic world
A friend in the silence.
The loving energy of God,
The uniting of will and heart,
Refreshment when nothing can be said!
Merging with A deeper love,
My heart joining with the maker of the world.
An ever-flowing river of dynamic love,
Ebbing and flowing in a heartbeat rhythm,
And the peaceful surrender to a purpose.
An intersession of self-offering,
A community chorus that covers the whole world,
An offering of shared joys and woes,
Trusting in God and grace,
And a sharing of his work.
Our imperfect love,
Uniting with the redeeming saving love.
All freely given because of a death,
On a tree!

Be still and know

I often feel like I am running around like mad man

Trying to juggle the things that happen day by day.

Things running around in my head at a thousand miles an hour.

BE STILL AND KNOW

The wordpool of my mind says I can’t hold it all in

Faster, faster quicker, quicker things come in. They come and I don’t know what to do.

Stop the world I want to get off.

BE STILL AND KNOW

Plates are spinning life is swirling, whirling and turning, so fast all is a blur!

They are going to fall!

Fall to the floor and smash to the ground broken unable to be put back together.

BE STILL AND KNOW

Am I being pulled apart, broken and poured out spilled to the floor!

Lost and spilling through the cracks of life.

Never to be the same again.

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW

Stop Bang Crash!

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!

So I Stop what I am doing!

I Quit trying,

I Quit fretting,

I Quit panicking,

I Quit fussing,

I Quit resisting.

I am still . . .

And I know that you are God. .  .

I trust that You know what you’re doing with Me

And I am in awe or you. . .

I am Resting in your arms of love. . .

I am still and know that I am with God. . .

You and I

You and I,

Could follow the stars in the sky,

We could climb the highest mountain.

But all I want is to rest in your loving arms.

 

You and I,

Could talk about the things we have done,

And the times I have spent with you,

But all that I want is to thank you for the life I’ve had.

 

You and I,

Could spend eternity together Side by side,

Living the fullest of lives together,

But all I want is to thank you for the dreams that I’ve seen come true through you.

 

You and I,

That’s all there is,

You and I,

LORD Just You and I.

AMEN

One Day

LORD,

If I could spend one day with you what would we do?

Maybe we could sit upon a mountian top

and make the morning sunbeams with our hands.

Or we could make the shapes with the clouds,

just keep people guessing!

We could float our time away without a care in the world,

Travelling wherever we please.

We could play hide and seek with the angels,

then try to catch their falling feathers as we make them laugh.

Together hand in hand we could walk through ruby red sky’s,

Or just sit and talk until the diamond stars come out,

We could make shooting stars fall and new constellations until dawn.

And then Together just you and me we could sleep until the morning song begins.

If I could spend one day with you what would we do?

I know it Would be fun!

Amen.

Passion

Help me  to have passion,

Passion  like yours,

Passion for the world around me,

Passion for those who are oppressed,

those in need, the lost, and the fearful.

May my passion be like yours.

Let your passion flow from me like a raging river of life.

Passion is all that I ask for lord, and all that I need.

Amen

You’re around me now

Father you hold me up,

Hold me up when I fall down,

When I fall down, you hold me up,

You hold me up.

You calm me and hold me,

And your love surrounds me,

Your love surrounds me,

And I feel fine, so fine.

And you’re around me now,

So all around me now,

All the time,

All the time around me now,

And I feel fine so fine,

I feel fine all the time

You’re around me,

You’re love is around me now,

And I feel fine,

All the time,

So fine,

You’re around me.

Amen.

I just can’t figure you out Lord,

Lord I have tried so hard to figure you out.

I keep on messing up falling away from you,

Running this way and that, running away from you!

Always getting into things that I should not!

And then there are the feelings of doubt and fear,

The never getting quite there with you!

My tears and songs of sorrow have been given to you so many
times.

I pour out my soul to you so often that you must be mad.

But you keep on loving me!

You let your love wash over me,

Like waves and breakers on a sea shore,

Sometimes gentle or like a mighty storm.

You just blow me away and always wipe me clean.

You deep never ending love calls to me like a roar

Like a powerful water fall you swathe me in love.

And I think of all the things that you have done for me.

You bless me so much you are my God and rock.

My provider and lover of my soul!

Everything I have is from you.

My very bones are yours.

By day you give me love and by night you give me peace.

You are there for me always Lord.

I just can’t figure you out Lord,

But thank you.

Amen

Wash Me LORD!

LORD as you washed your disciples, feet so long ago.

May I be reminded of it now!

 

The feeling of refreshing water flowing over me.

Warm water falling over my toes and my weary feet.

The Feeling of dirt washed away.

That refreshing cleansing feeling LORD!

Coming over me and cleansing me from the bottom up.

That warming feeling that only comes from you,

all the cleaning power that I will ever need!

 

Then lord if I like Paul could ask for more I would say.

LORD, wash me! Wash all of me LORD!

 

Amen.
