Storm clouds are forming
Up-on the horizon
The earth cries out
Against the dry land

The bird in the tree
Flap her wings excitedly
She knows the rains
Will soon be here

The animals milling
Around a dry lake
Call to each other
With excited talk

The rains are coming
The rains are coming
Make ready to be refreshed
Make ready for the coming storm

As the storm draws near
Excitement builds
And animals come
From far and near

At last it is here
And the life rain falls
Slowly at first
But then here comes the flood

It fills the stream
That then fills the lake
At last its rivers
Are beginning to flow

They flow from the east
They flow the south
They flow from the north
And they flow west

They flow from the source
Like a hand upon the earth
Giving new life
Where ever they go

Now the birds and animals
Can drink and have their fill
And a triumphant nose
Goes out one more

The animals bathe
And make themselves clean
And swim to rest
Their weary old bones

Their lives are refreshed
Their bodies renewed
Abundance of food
Some meat and some fruit

The rose in the field
That once was sharp and cold
Gives way to beauty oh so right
And shows its healing more than thorns

The rain is done
The rainbow appears
With promise of Good things to come

Its shows of Gods love
Forgiveness and peace
So come now to the river
And drink your fill

Then turn to your neighbor
And share the good news
Of a father who loves us
And cares for this world

[08:14:35] julie clark: wow what an awesome God we serve today i walked home and i kicked a stone and i thought thats probably what some people feel that they are a stone to be kicked around but then Jesus said but I love you I saw you not as who you were when you were in the depths of sin and bound and chained but i see who you are in me and who I know who you will be as you daily move on in love and obedience and trust in me

modern song of Solomon

A young girl came walking in the garden
And spied a beautiful rose
But she didn't see its beauty
Just the sharp and ugly thorns

A young man came walking in the garden
And spied that beautiful rose
He did not see the thorns so sharp
But beauty peace and love

A gardener came upon them both
And smiled at the lovely pair
He went and took the thorns away
From those two roses there

It took a while I should say
But finally they were free
To make sweet beauty together
And feel the gardeners love

They joined their hands
And walked there in
the 88 steps led down a path
Where roses bloomed all around

The steps led out to a beautiful field
With a beautiful blue dream lake
Their hearts were filled with joy and peace
As they entered this beautiful place

The sun was shining warm as could be
And they walked as one in step
Then laid in the grass in a sweet caress
Still feeling the warmth of their skin

They touched each other tenderly
In every secret place
But the feeling was oh so right
So they had no need to fear

The day moved on to evening
When the sun had lost its heat
Then wind and came in real strong
But they cuddled more closer

It made them so much stronger
Instead of taring them apart
The gardener came and sheltered them
With his love and grace and peace

The night has passed and a new day dawns
With a beautiful clear blue sky
And once again they can walk
In comfort love and hope

unity

Spirit  spirit spirit
Come upon me now
Guide me in all your ways
As I surrender all to you

Jesus Jesus Jesus
Join our hearts as one
When we think of all you did
When you died and rose again

Father, father, Father
Look on us with grace and love
See your people who serve you right
And for you would take up any fight

Precious trinity three in one
Unite our hearts today
Draw us close to be one mind
Until you come for your precious bride

Angels rejoice in the heavens above
When they see your people stand strong
Till one day we to will join
With realms of worship for the king

stand firm in fait

Stand firm in faith and unity
Stand firm in faith and love
Stand firm against your enemies
Stand firm together as one

Stand firm and strong in unity
Stand firm in the armor of God
Stand firm in the storms of life today
Stand firm in his peace and love

The King will return

There’s a stillness In the mountains

There’s a calm across the sea

There’s a peace around the valleys

As creation waits expectantly

We’re waiting for our saviour

With saving grace and favour

To come and take us home to thee,

When we have won, the victory

Our eyes will lift to the sky above

And the trumpet blast will sound

We shall arise in a flick of the eye

As on a white horse our saviour will ride

The world will see he is the King

The creator of the earth

He has come again

New birth to bring  

The final shout. The final call

Will shake the heavens to the core

The mountains high will quake and fall

A sight never seen or heard before

But we his people will have no fear

For we are, his children dear

And the bible tells us clear

Our saviours return is ever near

So tell me are you ready

To meet him in the sky

To give him all the glory

And live an eternity

this is a great website for posting to compotitions and such like take a look
thankyou

count down has begun

3 weeks and counting down before my new book comes out this is a long waiting game but it will be worth it

Peter's story

Beside the sea of Galilee

My Jesus walks with me

He shows me what my life should be

And The spirit sets me free

He's promised never to leave me

But be my constant guide

To comfort me in times of trouble

And to celebrate in His victory

I walked with him for three whole years

And saw amazing things

Miracles and teaching

That totally blew my mind

Then suddenly he changed his tune

And talked about His death

No Lord I said that cant be true

If  not I will stand always true to you

One night we went to the Passover feast

And he said the strangest thing

This is may body which is broken for you

Eat of it and you will live

Some one will deny me Three time

Before the cockerel crows

I would never do such thing

Oh lord it cant be me

The night kept getting darker

And He led us out to pray

We tried to stay awake and pray

But our flesh was weak from sorrow

Then Judas came with a mass of troops

And kissed my masters face

Then fear at last took a total hold

And all of us disciples fled

I followed at a distance

To the place they took him to

I huddled by the fire for warmth

And my heart was cold as cold

Then my deepest dread came true

And the people questioned me

You are his friend  you walked with him

No No you are so wrong

Three times I stood to deny my Lord

And then the cockerel crowd

And suddenly Jesus’ words came back

And sadness pierced my heart

They took him away and beat up

Mocked him and put him on trial

We all were watching in the crowd

When they cried out to have him die

The lonely walk to the hill of death

Was the longest I'd ever watched

My heart was filled with grief and pain

But Mary Jesus mother who can feel the grip of pain

That must have been there that day

They nailed him to a cross of shame

And he hug there all alone

The people jeered and called him King

But all he said was "father forgive"

The world turned black as the Saviour died

And  peoples hearts were filled with fear

We buried him in a strangers tomb

And left to share and grieve and pray

Three days he lay there and so we thought

This was the end that death had won

But as His mum went to the tomb

She met a man who said do not fear

He's not here for he has risen

Now tell the good news to all his friends

We were gathered in a tiny room

The doors were locked and we were in fear

Then all of a sudden Jesus was there

Showing us all his hands, his feet

And finally Thomas believed

The mountains and hills stretched out before me

The heavens above called my name

The path stretched out before me

Long and straight and bare

The sun shone down upon me

And warmed my half naked skin

And suddenly I felt alone

And very much afraid

Then Jesus stood before me

And the spirit flew all around

The voice of God called out to me

Peace my child,  no need to fear

Your not alone we three are here

To comfort guide and  call

So rest for a while  till we open your eyes

To the beauty set before you today

I saw before me a cool flowing stream

So I sat and took my rest

I drank within the life giving stream

And it cooled my angry heart

Then a snake came out from within a rock

And at once I knew his name

The devil came to cause distress

And make me fear again

But my Jesus with a mighty sword

Cut off that snakes big head

Then he looked at me and smiled

At last you are truly free

I felt a peace flow through my heart

And I know I had been released

And now at last I saw the truth

Through Jesus we have the victory

Then a voice called out from heaven

And the mountain crumbled with fear

The road before me filled with light

And so much beauty and with flowers

I looked upon them and could not fear

When I saw the beauty around

I got to my feet and carried on

With a new song within my heart

A song of love and victory

A song of peace and strength

And I will take it with me

To share along the way

Lost and found

Tina sat on the floor on her own

Children around her didn’t know

She wanted to talk, she wanted to play

But she didn’t know the words to say

Then one bright and sunny day

Tina heard a lady say

You have my heart I’ll take you away

I’ll teach you to love, be there come what may

So away she came that fretful child

\and after a week she actually smiled

Two months later an adoption was files

And made a daughter of that restless child

Her mum as promised taught her the words to say

And now it’s impossible to keep her from play

No longer has she slept on a hard cold floor

But lays her head on a comfy bed

Now Tina has grown and learnt to love

And she sees an unloved child

Her heart it gives an almighty tug

And commits that child to God above

Then she will hold out a loving hand

To that child laying in the sand

She leads her to peace and the Promised Land

And now at last on her own she can stand

Stand and take someone else’s hand

All the love and joy to gain

The truth the peace the joy be known

                                   That love through a generation has shown

hi there i would like to offer you the opportunity to contribute to my site as long as you are following christ as your lord and savior
God bless and i look forward to the site growing and the kingdom of God advancing

Peace in nature

A babbling stream, a peaceful lane

These are the things that I enjoy

As I walk on a summers day

With a warm gentle breeze upon my face

A cottage in a field, with swirling smoke

A family sitting round ready to eat

Rich chicken soup and freshly baked bread

Then five little children all snug in their bed

A flitting bird upon the nest

Protecting her brood from unknown harm

A cow chewing cud all gentle and calm

Then sheep and one dog in one accord

Oh what a beautiful land we have

If we would take the time to see

Instead of rushing through the day

Let’s sit for a while and take it all in

In praise of the trinity

Jesus Jesus Jesus

I call upon your name

Hear my prayer as I kneel today

As I give you the burdens of the day

Wash all my sins far away

Spirit, spirit, spirit

Guide me through the day

Open my eyes, my spiritual eyes

Open my ears, my spiritual ears

And give me the faith to stand

Father,Father,Father

Hold me in your arms

Keep me close, keep me safe

Help me feel your love and grace

Your mercy ever flowing free to work

Like a never ending, flowing stream

Let it flow through me, into the world

woow what and awesome God

A response from my Lord

I praise you Great and Mighty King

I lift my hands to praise

And worship, kneel at your feet

All glory and honour belongs to you

Your grace and mercy are beyond compare

Come before my throne of grace

Rest for a while no rushing away

Learn from me and you will be free

To live the life I want you to lead

Unfold your arms so tightly around you

Release your true praise to me

Let go of rejection, its not who I am

I died and gave my life to you

Your accepted, your forgiven

Come and let me hold you ever near

Take my hand and follow my lead

Trust me to fill your every need

Quiet time with Jesus

As I sit here beside you
And open your word
I can feel your peace
Calm, acceptance, and love
I pray that you speak
Through your holy spirit wind

As you put your arms around me
And the world and its problems disappear
I am lifted again into your arm s
like the wings of a dove
I'm safe and secure in a blanket of love
No reason to fight, my savior is here
At one with the master, what an awesome thought

Time moves on and reality sets in
I'm a mum and a wife, part of this world
But as I go, he smiles at me
And says "do not fret I,ll come with you"
Creator and King,all glories unfold
Too wounderous feeling to put into words

The shadows return but you are my light
You are my hope, my peace and my guide
I have nothing to dread, cause your there by my side
You know what I'm facing you've been there before
You've won every battle So I can stand tall
And tell all the people,my Jesus he lives

I wont fear tommorow
Cause my savior is there
So I wont fret today
But trust in my King
That's what he has told me
Through His word and Spirit wind

And you have no need to fear.

Go forward and continue in My love.

prophetic poem

The harvest is coming beyond the horizon
My light is shining through the dark world
Have faith my children the time is drawing near
Behold look to the sky and see the signs
I will come with my heavenly angels
Coming to bring all my children home
So stretch fourth your hands to the coming king
Reach out your hand to the lonely and lost
My fire will come and purge your hearts
And make you pure in my sight
Make ready for the wedding feast
For i am coming soon
I’m preparing my church to be my bride
I’m coming with power and majesty
Release to me your heart felt praise
Lift your mind and spirit to me
: Release your fears release you guilt
Come and make ready for your king

Go in faith

                                              

Go in faith and walk with me

Every step through out the day

I’ll be your peace

I’ll be your guide

On every step of the way

It may be hard

It may be good

You may see the darkness

But I am your light

I will shine a way for you

When in the dark valley you walk

So take my hand and walk by faith

And I will lead you all the way

To the end of the path

To that glorious day

Where I will see you face to face

And hold you in my arms 

The future is safe

I cannot see the future

But I have to do is trust

My savior Jesus sees it all

And he will guide me through

I do not know its twists and turns,

Its mountains valleys and hills.

But I can trust my Jesus

And He will carry me through

I do not know its joys and pain

And every emotional high and low

But I know who holds my future

It’s Jesus Christ my Lord

So today in faith I will take his hand

And let Him lead me on

Through all the joys and all the sorrow

Until he leads me home

injustice by a friend gerard

Injustice?  Injustice?  Injustice?

Why is there so much? 

It's in the papers

It’s in the news

Worst of all this is in my face!

What can I do to show I care?

Raise the alarm for all those in need.

From pop star’s to public everyone can shout

Just think of the poor souls

Sold to slavery on a life of dread

Bring light into their lives.

And light up their eyes.

Spare a couple of coins to help spread the news.

It helps save a life, how cool is that.

Seven plane loads of people a day disappear

How can this be a monitored World?

Just think if you disappeared…..

Who would miss you?

So raising alarm for those with no voice !

your their only call for help !

shout "act against injustice." 

What have you got to lose?

The world or Jesus

THE WORLD OR JESUS

                                        If I could give you the world I would.

But it wouldn’t ease the pain.

If I could give you the world at peace I would.

But real peace comes from god alone.

If I could give you a large house I would.

But only my father can give this to you.

If I gave you a bible what would you do?

Would you read it or hide it away.

If I gave you my love what would you do?

Would you accept or turn in fear.

If I gave you god’s peace what would you do?

Would you rest or still worry and fear.

Would you look to my Jesus?

Or look to the world.

Would you give him your life?

Or wander away.

Would you accept his love and words today?

Or would you just turn away.

The choice is yours I cannot say more.

Will you in faith fling open the door?

Or stay shut away in pride and fear.

Would you trust in my Jesus?

Or face him in death

in the stillness of the morning

IN THE STILLNESS OF THE MORNING

In the stillness of the morning.

Let your voice alone be heard.

In the falling of the steady rain.

And the singing of the cheerful birds.

When the world has come to life.

With all its worries and strife.

Let us still have open ears.

To hear you’re voice again oh Lord.

In the bustle of the afternoon.

Rushing to get the chores done.

Let’s not forget to give god praise.

For leading us through another day.

In the quietness of the evening.

When we look back on our day.

Let us see your love shine through.

In all we’ve said and done.

In the darkness of the night.

When the world has gone to bed.

Thank the Lord who watches over us.

Who never sleeps but gives us rest.

                                     DAWN

Stars are ablaze over the night sky,

Oh how I gaze with these tired eyes,

But for what do I seek as the dawn draws near,

Wisdom and teaching so that his word may be clear,

For in whatever I do he will always be close,

An angel by my side and the Holy Ghost,

He protects me from evil and shields me from danger,

And sent His son who was born in a manger,

But for this is what I think about here while I lay,

As dawn draws closer to start a new day.

15^th March 2011

I kneel before the throne

I kneel before the throne of grace

Worship and praise you mighty king

Glorify and honor your holy name

Bow down and worship the prince of peace

Your throne is eternal you reign on high

Your mighty right hand guides and leads

My heart is in awe of your mighty power

And heaven is filled with your glorious light

Mighty councilor and risen Lord

Sword of the sprit truth and light

You fill my heart to overflow

With your mercy grace and love

All power is in you, my Lord and king

You hold the keys to life and death

You will this earth with a mighty hand

Yet you know feeble frame and mind

Lord I am filled with mighty awe

As I stand before the throne of grace

I worship with angels singing your praise

My spirit is free and praise flows eternal

I kneel before

I kneel before my God and King.

And bring to you my everything.

My hopes, my fears, my joys my all.

Lord take them all and set me free

 Set me free to worship thee

My god my king my everything

Forgive me sinner that I am

So I may live and grow in thee

I love you more than words can say

But you dear lord have loved me more

Enough to die on Calvary’s tree

Taking all my pain and shame away

And though I still do things so wrong

You are so loving patient and kind.

You love your children so much more

Much more that we can ever know

Oh heavenly father when things go wrong

And we turn away in selfish pride.

You are still there waiting for us

To humbly come to you in prayer.

And when we finally realize

We need you more and more each day

Come and fill us with love anew

And help us follow only you.

If you are afraid

If you are afraid then just look at the cross

Where Jesus gave his life for you

He went to the cross to bring life anew

So never fear to count the cost

The feel you feel is not from above

It’s from someone else who doesn’t care for you

God is strong enough to see you through

So look to god and his heavenly love

He’ll give you his love he’ll give you his peace

And put your feet on his heavenly path

From all your fears he’ll give release

He’s got the power to make it last

Remember that promise

When you feel afraid or alone

Just remember what god has done

In your heart remember all

The promise that he will keep

That god is always near to you

He will keep you safe from harm

Tonight and for ever more

When you feel you have no friend

Remember that god is a friend of yours

He won't desert you like the others do

So just remember his promise is true

Remember the promise sown in your heart

So trust in him, and you will see

He loves you more than words can say

He sent his son, a gift so  free

So always believe and trust his word

Don’t be afraid, or feel alone

Or you have no friend, or nobody cares

God loves us all, you know he does

He cares for everyone of us

by his stripes

                                                               By his stripes

By His stripes I am healed

By His blood I am washed

I am a new creation

And forever I am free

Wash me in your spirit

Purge me from my sin

Take away the shame I feel.

And bring me into peace

Cleanse me from all wrong

Thoughts and attitudes

Cleanse my body make me whole

Wash me clean with power

Make me the child who can be taught

Who is willing to be led

Let me eat the living word

And truly well be fed

Let your healing flow through me

And touch another heart

Show your loving grace through me

And let them truly see

You are the son who sets them free

When in faith they bend the knee

You have come to give them life.

And give them all eternity
