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
Before daily duties
Priorities get straight
To dwell in Your Presence
A time to meditate
One within the silence
To dwell within the Word
To journal pearls of wisdom
Of the Spirit heard
Beauty in the stillness
Of this treasure great
Nourishment of soul
Of light to contemplate
Son of the beloved
The joy of Christ to share
Sent within the way
Filled by time of prayer
The time for choosing
Is in this life now
A choice of eternal
A gift God endows
Not only is this “time”
A choosing of our call
But it’s the only “time”
There will be at all
For “time” will be no more
After this life, be
As we understand it
Just sequentially
A very different “time”
From what we understand
Our “eternity” sealed
At time of death we land
I need time in no time
Right now and right here
Moment of our sharing
Presence be aware
I need space in all space
Dwelling of to be
Emptiness of filling
Blessed light of thee
I need to see to see
Lens within Your view
Let the soul be molded
Wisdom to pursue
I need love of all love
Place of true value
Only one in the One
Needing not but You
