Glory of glories:
The Son shining on high.
Glory of glories:
Though far, He is nigh.

For Jesus reigns
High in Heaven above;
Yet surely He is near
To all He does love.

The highest Heavens
His Presence cannot contain;
Yet in our hearts
He does surely remain.

He dwells in His children,
Yea, in us He does abide;
He wraps us in His love,
Tenderly He does guide.

How can this be,
How can this be so?
How can the Creator of all
I intimately know?

Surely I am not deserving,
Surely He is far too great;
Yet surely God is with me,
Though me He did create.

The stars sing of His glory,
The sun shines with His light;
The universe shows His wisdom
In division of day and night.

Every star He has named,
My hairs are numbered too;
How my heart adores my God,
Yea, Lord, how much I love You.

So I shall sing of Your glory
All my life, all my days;
I shall sing of Your love,
My life is a song of Your praise.

Dance I shall in sunshine,
Rejoice I shall with clapping trees;
Live for You I shall, my Lord –
Every moment for You to please.

The highest of the Heavens
Your Presence cannot contain;
Yet in my lowly heart, Jesus,
All the while You do remain.

Yes, You reign, my Beloved,
High in Heaven above;
Yet surely You are near to me,
Surely me You do love.

O, glory of glories:
You, the Son, shine on high.
Glory of glories:
Though far, to me You are nigh.

The Son Still Shines: Inspirational Christian Poem and eCard

Sunshine by Rawich

(Send as an Inspirational Christian eCard!)

Behind the clouds,
The sun does shine, 
Behind the trials
Shines love divine.

Surely when the rain drops
The sun is still there;
Surely when thunder roars,
The sun is still near.

Though hidden from sight,
Though veiled by clouds,
The sun is still radiant
 When darkness enshrouds.

Teach me then, O Lord,
To see You in the rain;
Teach me, O Lord,
To rejoice in pain.

For surely You shine
Both in ease and in trial,
Surely You reign,
Yea, all the while.

As the rain falls,
As it pours upon me,
I envision the Son
Shining in all His glory.

The raindrops are His kisses,
His blessings ever sweet,
For there in the trial
Cross and crown do meet.

Lord Jesus, I desire
Whatever You do bring;
In sun and in rain,
My heart shall sing.

I bask in sunshine days
Rich with Your grace;
 So too the rainy days
I gratefully embrace.

Ever more like You,
I do long to be;
If through trial You sculpt,
My Lord, let it be.

And may I bring You glory
In all that I do;
In sunshine and in rain,
May I live for You.

When hidden from sight,
When veiled by clouds,
You are still radiant
 When darkness enshrouds.

Surely when the rain drops;
You are still there;
Surely when thunder roars,
To my heart You are near.

Yea, behind the clouds,
My Beloved, You shine;
So I sing in the rain
Of Your love divine.

Sunshine by Samarttiw

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-Card!)

Summertime arrives,

Days lengthen in the sun,

Warmth, joy and light

We find in the Eternal One.

 

Summer now it is,

Come and dance with me;

Summer now it is,

Glory my eyes do see.

 

We experience in winter

Days barren and gray;

We prepare then for the light

Of this summer day.

 

Surely we see our Lord

In this seasonal parade;

Yea, surely we see Jesus

In seasons He has made.

 

Sing in joy with me now,

Brother, sister and friend –

The love of our Lord Jesus

We see has no end.

 

Summer is but a glimpse

Of our life in eternity,

For in the New Jerusalem

As summer it will be.

 

Only day there will be,

No longer dark of night;

We shall live in the glory

Of the Son’s eternal light.

In the summer season

We feel this more than any other.

Rejoice then in summer sun,

My dear sister and brother.

 

Summer now it is,

The Son shines on you, on me;

Summer now it is,

Christ’s glory we do see.

 

Yea, summer is here,

A sparkling glimpse of the Son,

We celebrate eternal life and love

We know in the One.

Lord, You are ever by my side;
Whether on hills or in valleys,

Father's Day Song: A Christian Poem for Fathers

Sunlight through Trees by Dan

 

 (Send as an Inspirational Father’s Day eCard!)

 

Cherished Father, kind yet strong,

For you, Daddy, I dedicate this song.

Beloved and treasured, respected and admired,

A wealth of wisdom you have acquired.

 

Comfort and insight you readily share

With a compassion beyond compare.

You guide and direct out of love for me;

Always my best you desire to see.

 

When the way is rocky, when the path unclear,

Your soothing words to my heart are dear.

This Father’s Day I celebrate who you are,

Close to my heart, whether near or far.

 

For you are my Daddy, the Father I love,

Surely a blessing bestowed from Above.

My Heavenly Father I thank for you;

I praise Him for loving things you do.

 

Surely He smiles in the way you guide,

Surely He delights that you are by side.

Surely His love dwells in your heart,

Surely from Him you will never part.

 

So on this Day of Fathers of you I sing,

I celebrate the love to my life you bring.

Daddy, how much I love you;

How thankful I am for your love true.

 

What place is safer than your arms strong?

When the winds do blow, this is where I belong.

Yes, my cherished Father, kind yet strong,

On this Father’s Day I sing your song.

Grace upon Grace

Grace upon Grace: Christian Poem and eCard

Waterfall by Nicholas Tarling

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Grace upon grace,
Lord, You lavish upon me;
Grace upon grace,
All I feel, hear and see.

Like dew drops kissing
The early morning ground,
So too I feel Your graces
Shower all around.

You don me with courage,
You embrace me with love,
You fill me with joy,
You prepare treasures above.

You cloak me with truth,
You show all that is right,
You carry me in storms,
You protect in the night.

You kiss my forehead,
You remind me tenderly
I am Yours forever,
Yea, for all eternity.

You prepare a wedding feast,
You long for us to unite;
You anoint me with Your Spirit,
You robe me in linens white.

Not by my own doing,
Not by works of my hand –
It is by Your precious blood
I shall see the Promised Land.

Your glorious grace, my Jesus,
Ever amazes my heart,
You shed all Your blood for me
That we would never part.

I look upon Your Cross,
I behold the bloody tree,
For therein I see Your grace:
My Lord, You died for me.

Surely no grace is richer
Than the grace I know in You;
Surely no love is deeper
Than love shown by all You do.

I shall sing of You, my Jesus,
I shall proclaim Your grace:
Your blood You poured for all,
Yea, for all the human race.

I speak of You with courage,
I embrace You with love,
I serve You with joy,
My heart is with You above.

Like dew drops kissing
The early morning ground,
So too I feel Your graces
Shower all around.

Grace upon grace,
Lord, You lavish upon me;
I give You all my life then,
Jesus, take all of me.

Krka Waterfall by Michal Marcol

 (Send as Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Reflections from the leaves,
Green and bright,
Branches waving
In the glorious light.

Glory to God,
Clapping trees say,
Glory to God
On this glorious day.

The birds echo this song,
Dance does the butterfly,
Streams splash with praise
Of God on High.

I join them in song,
My natural friends,
For surely their love
For God never ends.

Season after season,
Year after year,
The joy of their symphony
Rings ever clear.

They do not tire,
Their song grows not old,
No coin do they bear,
Yet richer than gold.

For they live by God’s will,
The bird and the tree,
They live by His word,
Bringing Him glory.

With them I shall
Sing all my days,
With them I shall
Lift songs of praise.

I shall joyfully clap
With the trees,
I shall live for God,
His heart to please.

With the birds too
I shall sing,
Glory to God,
My Father, my King.

With the butterfly
Dance shall I,
Grateful to be loved
By the Most High.

Surely life is a song,
Yea, a sweet symphony,
Life is a song
To bring God glory.

The birds echo this song,
Dance does the butterfly,
Streams splash with praise
Of God on High.

Glory to God,
I hear the trees say,
Glory to God
On this glorious day.

So with waving leaves,
Green and bright,
I praise my sweet Jesus
And His glorious Light.
