Facing the future
Through love God has shown
With a soul of trust
Befriending the unknown
Forgiving what’s been
No regrets to last
Through our Gods mercy
Befriending the past
In beauty surrounding
With gratefulness share
Through our God’s blessings
Befriending the here
Beyond all time
It’s heaven we see
Through our God grace
Befriend eternity
Soul of two gifts
Time and free will
Let’s offer them now
To pray and be still
Soul to acknowledge
The deep longing of
Its greatest desire
The need to be loved
Soul of awareness
Through Spirit speaking clear
For the Word of God
Is found everywhere
Soul of surrender
As blessings here abound
Into the arms of grace
A time of being found
There’s a space beyond space
Past this galaxy
That flows from my heart
To infinity
There’s a time beyond time
From this moment to be
That flows from my soul
To eternity
There’s a time and a space
Blessed here to me
Oh Lord let me fill it
Dwelling with Thee
There’s a soul and a God
And connection of three
With a transforming love
Into divinity
An offer of blessing
Of moment to be
Of senses and time
I gift them to thee
Take a few minutes
With eyes to see
To marvel within
These colors’, beauty
Take now some time
With senses to hear
The soaking within
From silence, appears
Take now a breath
Inhaling fresh air
Drawing of life
Of gratefulness, here
Take now your soul
To offer a prayer
To savor His Presence
Of love He that shares
A moment with God
Becomes eternity
To cherish His blessing
Of infinity
In the Word written
We know this is true
That resting in God
Is so good for you
What we all need
This treasure revealing
Letting God love us
Is such a great healing
Being in silence
Stilling the heart
To let Spirit flow
Such gifts he imparts
With the gift of our time
Let us choose well
So wise the investment
With our God to dwell
We spend time
We lose time
We make time
We waste time
We’re on time
We bide time
We do time
Its our time
We track time
We save time
We spare time
We pass time
Our time will come
The time to see
Of how we’ll spend
Eternity
There was a time
Of darkness on earth
God sent His Son
Through a virgin’s birth
There was a time
The Word He conveyed
Sharing God’s love
And showing the way
There was a time
When it seemed, all was lost
When evil prevailed
He was hung on a cross
There was a time
His rising appeared
With great rejoicing
The truth was shared
If there’s ever a time
For our world to pray
To turn and acknowledge
Yes, He is risen today!
We want the answer
As worry is flowing
Turning to you Lord
In the time of unknowing
In lessons of life
Our faith is growing
Through answered prayer
In time of unknowing
For Your love is true
With gifts of bestowing
You blessed what we need
In time of unknowing
Our soul in Your hands
In Presence, now slowing
A rich, beautiful prayer
A time of unknowing
It isn’t day
And it isn’t night
Just before morning
So soft is the light
Time of transition
In this gift anew
Arising above
Into deep blue
A speck of light shines
In this great empty space
As one soul and God
Of heartwarming grace
Let our soul reflect
The light of to be
With sparkling joy
The love that is He
Take time with the flowers
A practice here this day
Who knows what we will find
When pausing in the way
Many shapes and colors
A pleasure here to see
Each one is a unique
Of fragrance blessing me
A hopeful bursting bud
Or fully in their prime
A family of sharing
Some beyond their time
Have a closer look
Of many layers be
Incredible the details
Of intricate beauty
Filling of emotions
Joyful, feeling glad
Binding with their friends
Or drooping feeling sad
Petals, soft and tender
To treat delicately
Together we can share
Our vulnerability
Taking time with people
With another view
In souls that we encounter
We find the same is true
