As His beloved
Our treasure we keep
In intimacy
Let your heart go deep
Through the Spirit flowing
The Word of God to seep
In pondering scripture
Let your heart go deep
Rejoicing together
In suffering, weep
As one body of Christ
Let your heart go deep
As children of God
Such blessings to reap
With great gratitude
Let your heart go deep
We wonder about it
But don’t have to pretend
Because we all know
How our journey will end
We’ll all meet our death
And on our last day
We go into the grave
With our faith that we’ll pray
We’ll trust in His Word
As was Lazarus’ way
With great rejoicing
When we hear Jesus say
Beloved come out
Untie him, let him go
We’ll rise from the tomb
Because Jesus, we know
We believe or do not
There are no in betweens
The power within
What Easter truly means!
Places I’ve been
And I long to go
Places I’m from
Ones I love, so
Ones I desire
Ones that inspire
Ones that descend
Ones that lift higher
Places of beauty
Ones that we share
One of the moment
Where we are right here
Ones of emotion
Of feeling so low
Places of joy
Ones where peace flow
None more important
Where all long to be
And the love of the soul
Of eternity
Places of living
The first, about me
With all my needs
Living physically
Living from our mind
To think strategically
Of the past and future
Intellectually
Living from our heart
To feel passionately
Alive in the moment
One emotionally
Living from the soul
Love unconditionally
Eternal perspective
One spiritually
All throughout each day
We move willingly
Let’s pause with a prayer
To choose the soul wisely
Quiet now my being
In stillness to begin
From the mind to soul
A movement deep within
Drifting to the center
To the whisper of grace
Dwell in Me beloved
In our sacred place
Distractions are calling
Come here, they say
Acknowledge them now
And let them drift away
To focus of being
To the soul in love
The drawing of Spirit
Descending above
Help me to remain
In this indwelling prayer
To be with You Lord
In living from here
Settle, settle
Now my soul
To give to you
My being whole
For You oh Lord
To take control
And by Your grace
My soul, console
Grateful, grateful
Be my soul
My praise I lift
You name, extol
To be with You
My only goal
Unto Your way
My will, enroll
Come beloved
Mist of morning
Bless this field
With sacred dew
Come beloved
Light adorning
Bless this sky
A Holy hue
Come beloved
Silent dawning
Bless this space
A divine view
Come beloved
Spirit spawning
Bless this soul
With grace of You
Here in this morning
With warm light adorning
Come draw the first breath of spring
Here in the air
To hear it sung clear
The song returning birds sing
Here in the ground
Such beauty abounds
In the colors that new flowers bring
Here is the prayer
For all souls to share
In the new life of Christs offering
What is the value
Of a human being?
Immeasurable
With Gods view of seeing
Does one deserve
To be loved, more?
All beyond measure
Each God does adore
Needy and broken
Covered by grace
Within God’s kingdom
Each has a place
Come now beloved
Gods’ Word to proclaim
Love Your Lord God
And each soul the same
Those who have been chosen
Each play a part of
Through their lens unique
In sharing of His love
Attune to the Spirit
And stirrings within
With movement to respond
Their mission to begin
Birthed in humility
A message to impart
To flow with Spirits tongue
Words that touch the heart
Blessed the receiver
This treasure they embrace
That gifts the flame of love
One of heavens’ grace
Blessed be the giver
Their calling we applaud
For they’ve a special place
In the heart of God
