(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.

How do you savor the Summer Son~shine?

Lord, fill me with Your Spirit,
Your love my soul embrace;
Warm me in Your Son-light,
Dazzle me with Your grace.

Kiss me with Your mercies,

Delighted He lives within me;
Life is lovely now, my Lord,
For Your face shines in all I see.

I give myself to You, Beloved,
Take my life in Your hand;
Reveal Your will for me, Master,
I shall live how You planned.

Should You lead me to the valley,
Should You lead me to the shore,
Should You lead me to the desert,
I follow You, for You I adore.

No matter where I go,
Lord, You are ever by my side;
Whether on hills or in valleys,
With me You shall abide.

Your graces are like dew drops,
Soft and gentle and all around;
Your voice is like music,
Sweet symphony the sound.

You uplift me with Your hope,
You inspire me with Your power,
I give myself to Your purpose
Every moment of every hour.

You kiss me with Your mercies,
You touch me with Your peace,
You envelop me in Your glory,
My love for You will never cease.

Lord, I feel Your Spirit in me,
Jesus, Your love I feel embrace;
Your Son-light warms my soul,
I am forever Yours by your grace.

How do you celebrate the knowledge that you are Forever HIS?

Father’s Day Song: A Poem for Fathers

Father’s Day Song: A Poem for Fathers

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
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.

In what way will you celebrate Father’s Day?

Grace upon Grace

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.

Symphony of Nature

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
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.

Eyes like jewels,
Face radiant as the sun,
Such is my Jesus,
Such is my One.

Smile sweet as honey,
Voice soothing as the sea,
Such is my Jesus,
My Love for eternity.

Hands soft as the flower,
Feet perfect as they guide,
Such is my Jesus,
As I walk by His side.

Yea, such is my Jesus,
No person lovelier than He;
Yea, such is my Jesus,
He is Everything to me.

I sing of His glory,
I sing of His love,
I sing of His Spirit
Descending as a dove.

I rejoice in His mercy,
I rejoice in His care,
I rejoice in His provision,
Yea, forever He is near.

I worship Him in awe,
I worship Him in adoration,
I worship Him in joy,
In sweet celebration.

My Jesus is more precious
Than this world and all within;
He is the spotless Lamb of God
Bearing all my sin.

How can I contain ever
The joy of Jesus in my heart?
How can I marvel not
That He and I shall never part?

Surely my Jesus is amazing,
Surely He inspires my mind,
Surely He is my Treasure,
Priceless for me to find.

Take me, my Jesus,
I am Yours forevermore;
My life is Yours now, Lord,
You I worship and adore.

I shall follow You, my Jesus,
Wherever You shall go;
I vow to cling to You,
My love will ever grow.

Your love sweetly embraces,
A sight lovelier I will not see
Than You, my sweet Jesus:
You are Everything to me.

Your precious hand I hold
As You perfectly guide;
I travel with You, my Jesus,
I walk forever by Your side.

Your smile warms my heart,
Your voice soothes as the sea,
Your whispers enthrall,
You are my Love for eternity.

Yea, Your eyes are as jewels,
Your face radiant as the sun,
I love with all I am:
My Jesus, You are my One.

Since I Met You

Jesus, Since I Met You

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Red Autumn Leaves by Simon Howden

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

More lovely is the sound
Of the birds in song,
Since I met You,
Since to You I belong.

More blue is the sky,
More brilliant the sun,
Since I met You,
Since I found the One.

More green is the grass,
More fragrant the flower,
Since I met You,
Since I feel Your power.

More refreshing the rain,
More delightful the breeze,
Since I met You,
My heart ever You please.

More joyful the tree,
More glorious the hill,
Since I met You,
My longings You fill.

More exuberant the music
Of the splashing waterfall
Since I met You,
My All in all.

More delightful each day,
More restful each night,
More lovely each moment,
More spectacular each sight.

More beautiful are all things,
Since I met You;
My Jesus, You beautify
All I say, think and do.

Your countenance radiant
Shines all ‘round me;
Yea, the glory of Your face
Is in all I see.

The tenderness of Your touch
Ever do I feel.
Transcending my thought,
Yet ever true and real.

The music of Your voice
Resonates in all I hear –
Singing to my soul,
Ringing ever clear.

The captivating fragrance
Of You, the Sharon Rose,
I smell all around me
As my love ever grows.

Surely all things are lovely
Since You and I did meet;
Surely all things
You make divinely sweet.

So sing I shall of You,
And I offer You my life;
I proclaim Your praises
Through both joy and strife.

Your touch sweetens
Even seasons of pain;
Surely You bring Light
Even in the rain.

More lovely for You,
Beloved, I long to be;
I place all in Your hands,
Lord, take all of me.

Surrendered to You,
May I be fragrant as the flower,
As I yield all to You,
Embracing Your power.

For Your glory alone,
May I shine as the sun:
I live no longer for me,
But for You, Eternal One.

And since I met You I join
With the birds in song;
I sing of my Jesus,
To Whom I forever belong.

Memorial Day

Memorial Day Poem: A Prayer

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
American Flag by Michael Elliott

(Send as Memorial Day eCard)

A prayer solemn

I offer this Memorial Day:

It is for our valiant Veterans

I do humbly pray.

Selfless, sacrificial,

Risking death gallantly –

Soldiers do all this

To ensure I am free.

So many have died

There on the battleground;

No music then to comfort,

Simply gun blasts all around.

So many names and faces

That I will never know;

So many stories of bravery

In warring winds did blow.

Grateful am I to these

Men and Women brave;

I marvel at all they did,

All they risked, all they gave.

Extend this heartfelt prayer

I will, to reach their ears;

How treasured they are to me,

Marching onward despite fears!

And for those who have passed,

May God bless them lavishly,

These very ones who died

So that I would live free.

In the stories of Veterans

I see a shadow of the Cross:

Christ died to set me free,

My gain is through His loss.

Gratefully I praise these heroes,

Often silent and unknown.

And I remember Christ’s blood

From which eternal life is sown.

To those who have fought

There on the battleground,

I pray God’s blessings to you

Will eternally abound.

Selfless, sacrificial,

Risking death gallantly –

Yes, you have done all this

To ensure I am free.

A prayer solemn then

I offer this Memorial Day:

It is for you, valiant Veterans,

I now humbly pray.

Thank you for joining me in this Memorial Day Poem and Prayer.

In what ways do you memorialize those who have died for us?
