The Lord’s Comfort

The Lord’s Comfort

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

In Your arms,

Lord, peacefully I rest,

You comfort tenderly,

Yea, You comfort best.

Surely Your comfort

Is sweet and divine;

How grateful I am

Your comfort is mine.

When the trials emerge,

When the thunder roars,

Still I find in Your arms

My spirit soars.

You embrace me with love,

You kiss me with graces;

Nothing sweeter do I know

Than Your tender embraces.

This comfort of comforts

I share with others too;

Lord, when they see me,

May they also see You.

For I am Your instrument,

Yes, for You alone I live;

I am Your vessel,

All to You, Lord, I give.

When I comfort another,

When I show my love,

I show my adoration

For my King above.

By comforting others

In their trials and pain

I bring glory to You –

In me may You reign.

Use me, my Master,

I kneel before Your throne;

Use me for Your purposes,

My life forever You own.

Express Yourself through me

In the comfort I share;

Show Your love through me,

A love beyond compare.

I delight in knowing

You work through me now;

To do Your will alone,

This, Lord Jesus, I vow.

Love you forever,

Lord, I know I shall;

Your love captivates,

It does my spirit enthrall.

When the trials emerge,

When the thunder roars,

In Your arms, Jesus,

My spirit soars.

Surely Your comfort

Is sweet and divine;

I shall share Your comfort,

For I am fully thine.

And in Your arms,

Lord, I peacefully rest,

So tender You are, Jesus,

Yea, You comfort best.

Through what trials has the Lord comforted you?

In what ways does His comfort appear?

How have you comforted otheres with the comfort you receive from Him?

Independence Day Poem

Independence Day Poem

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

Waving in the air,

Our flag, red, blue and white,

Dancing in the sun,

Its stars shining in the light.

Overwhelmed with gratitude

That in this nation I do live;

Thankful for the many who

Their lives did bravely give.

America, America,

May God richly shed His grace;

America, America,

May you seek His radiant face.

Founded on a love for Him,

Surely you are blessed;

May you walk in His truth,

Committed to what is best.

For Independence is not free,

It is bought with bloodshed;

The flying colors of the flag

Grew from battlefields of red.

So let us never forget

Those who died to set us free;

Let us never forget the God

Who blesses us so lavishly.

On this Independence Day,

As fireworks echo in the soul,

Let us celebrate our Nation

And the One who makes us whole.

As colors stream gracefully

Across the dark night sky,

A reminder of colorful history

Dances before the eye.

The colors of freedom fly

In the flag that does wave;

For this is the land of the free

And the home of the brave.

Glory, Glory to God

For loving our nation so;

It is in embracing Truth

That pure freedom we do know.

America, America,

May God richly shed His grace;

America, America,

May you seek His radiant face.

I thank You, my Lord,

That in this nation I do live;

I thank those who for freedom

Their lives did bravely give.

For, dancing in the sun,

Its stars shining in the light,

Waving gallantly in the air is

Our flag, red, blue and white.

How will you celebrate your national – and Spiritual – freedom?

God on High

Sun And Clouds by Graur Codrin

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-card!)

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.

God reigns on high…yet lives in our hearts. How has this truth transformed you? In what ways do you celebrate that you are His temple?

The Son Still Shines

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
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.

In what ways do you “sing in the rain” ~ knowing the Son still shines?

Summer Son~shine

Summer Son~shine: A Christian Summer Poem

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
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.

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,
Touch me with Your peace,
Envelop me in Your glory,
Surely my joy will never cease.

Every moment of every hour.

Yea, my life I live for You,

Delighted He lives within me;

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?
