Sweet Morning Dew…Whispering of You

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-Card!)

Morning dew

Kissing the earth

Glistening garment

Bespeaking rebirth

As morning dew

In the early hour

Are God’s graces

And endless power

Yea, stretching wide

As blankets of dew

Are God’s blessings

For me, for you

As coverings of snow

Broad and deep

Vast are the Promises

Our Lord does keep

As raindrops falling

Watering the ground

So is Living Water

Bubbling joy to abound

As Sunlight warming

Embracing the earth

The Light of the Lord

Brings spiritual rebirth

Sweet Lord Jesus

With me always do stay

Wherever You go

I shall follow each day

More vast than the dew

Far more deep than the snow

More refreshing than the rain

Is the love You do show

I am forever Yours, Lord

Yes, eternally Yours to keep

Nourished by Bread of Life

Revived by Living Water deep

Sing Your praises I shall

Yea, Lord, each day all the more

You are Everything to me

You are the One whom I adore

Stretching wide and long

As blankets of morning dew

Are Your blessings and mercy

Purest love I find in You

As the soft morning dew

In the dawn’s early hour

Are Your glorious graces

And Your endless power

Yes, Lord, as morning dew

Kisses gently the earth

You kiss me with blessings

You are sweet love and rebirth

Spring: Of GOD’s Glory Sing!

Spring: Of God’s Glory Sing!

Pink Flower by Arvind Balaraman

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-Card!)

Sun rays of brilliance

Flowers of Spring

Glory, glory to God

All do sing

Grass shooting forth

Leaves budding green

Bursting with birth

The world to be seen

Perfume of flowers

Symphony of birds in sky

Proclaiming sovereignty

Of our Savior on High

Springtime speaks of Him

Springtime sings His song

Springtime reminds us

That with Him we belong

For on the third day

Christ arose from the grave

He endured the Cross

All mankind to save

Yes, He is Rebirth

He is eternal Spring

He is Renewal

Yea, Life everlasting

Glory, glory to God

Sings joyfully my soul

Glory, glory to You

Lord, You make me whole

As birds sing in the air

As flowers bloom bright

I rejoice in You, Lord

In Your radiant Light

Warmer than sunshine

Lovelier than blooms

Is Your love, my Lord

It embraces and consumes

Reborn in Spirit I am

Lord, by faith in You

Your Spirit lives in me

All things You make new

As the Winter cold

Freezes the earth

So too I die to myself

To experience rebirth

The frost of Winter in time

Yields flowers of Spring

In turn, death to our flesh

New life does bring

All to You, my Savior

All to You I humbly give

You are my very Meaning

You are the Reason I live

Fragrant sacrifice I offer

In all I say and do

Sweeter than the flower

I pray my life is to You

Glorious King on High

One who died for me

You are Joy to my spirit

Now and for eternity

So as perfume of flowers

And symphony of birds in sky

I proclaim the sovereignty

Of my Savior on High

As grass shooting forth

And leaves budding green

I rejoice in my rebirth

For the world to be seen

As sun rays of brilliance

As fragrant flowers of Spring

Glory, glory to You, God

My heart does joyfully sing

(Send as an Inspirational Christian e-Card!)

Hold me, my Father

With Thy arms eternal and strong

It is in Thy loving arms

That I forever belong

Guide me, sweet Jesus

Along Thy perfect Way

I shall traverse Thy path

With Thee each day

Fill me, Holy Spirit

In my heart overflow

I lose myself in Thee

It is only Thee I know

Love me, precious Lord

With Agape surround me

Thy love is my meaning

Yea, the reason for me to be

Strengthen me, my Master

Against temptation and snare

Grant me discernment

That I am alert and aware

Lead me, my Shepherd

To pasture lovely and green

You lead me in righteousness

In Thy paths pristine

Reign in me, Eternal King

Rule over my heart and thought

I am completely Thine

For my life is blood-bought

Nourish me, Bread of Life

Thy Eternal Word does feed

You alone give me life, Lord

You alone fill every need

Refresh me, Living Water

Pour into my heart Thy streams

That I may burst with love

That in my eye Thy light beams

Accept me, precious Lamb

My life is an offering to Thee

You sacrificed Thyself for my life

I no longer live, but You in me

Use me, Eternal Potter

I am Thy creation, Thy jar

I go anywhere for Thee, Lord

Yea, I travel near or far

And wherever I go, please hold me

With Thy arms eternal and strong

For it is in Thy loving arms

That I forever belong

Fruit of the Spirit

Fresh Grapes by Sura Nualpradid

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-Card!)

Father, may I bear fruit

Fragrant and sweet for Thee

Eternal fruit of Thy Spirit

Yea, fruit to last for eternity

Fill me with joy, my Jesus

May my joy in Thee be complete

May its waters bubble forth

Vibrant, unceasing and sweet

Imbue me with peace, Eternal Prince

Peace enduring when winds do rage

Peace which reigns throughout storms

Heavenly peace adorning age to age

Strengthen me with forbearance

Grant that I am patient amidst trial

Master, may I endure all things

Singing Thy praises all the while

Kindness may I show, my King

Charitable and concerned for others

May I pour of myself for Thee and

Neighbors, strangers, sisters, brothers

Goodness may I embody, my God

Of wondrous virtue may my life sing

Etch Thy Word upon my heart

That glory to Thee I ever bring

Faithful may I be, my Father

Abiding in Thee and in Thy will

May I align always with Thy Word

Obeying gladly all I have heard

Gentle may I be, Lamb of God

Mild and pleasant to all I meet

May I exude the Visage of Christ

Whenever others I do greet

Self-controlled may I be, my Savior

For Thee may I subdue each thing

Taking captive thought, word, action

That does not glory to Thee bring

Love may I express, my Lord

Thou art love, and Thou art in me

To Thee I give all of myself

That filled with Thy love I may be

Yea, humble vessel am I, Beloved

An instrument wholly Thine

I long to ever remain in Thee

To abide in Thy Eternal Vine

In Thy Vine of Eternity

May I bear for Thee precious fruit

My life is Thine to live

Thou givest life, Thou art the root

Overjoyed I am, Eternal One

That for Thee eternal fruit I bear

I praise Thee from the depth of my heart

Thy promises with all I do share

My Father, may I bear fruit

Fragrant and sweet for Thee

Eternal fruit of Thy Spirit

Yea, fruit to last for eternity

~*~

How do you embrace the Fruit of the Spirit?

Spirit-Filled

Seagulls by Witthaya Phonsawat

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-Card!)

Filled with Your Spirit

May I be filled without measure

Your Spirit within me, Lord

Is my priceless Treasure

Lord, I empty myself

That Your Spirit would me fill

I long to experience You more fully

I desire to submit to Your will

May Your Spirit flow into me

As waters from the sky

May Your Spirit anoint me

A Seal from the Most High

May Your Spirit guide me

Every step of my pathway

May Your Spirit remind me

Of all the Words You say

May Your Spirit move my lips

As I speak to those I meet

May Your Spirit move me:

My writing hands, my walking feet

I lose myself for You, Lord

That entirely Yours I may be

Your voice alone I hear

Your Face alone I see

Humble in heart may I be

An empty vessel fully Thine

A temple of Your Spirit

Your instrument Divine

My life is nothing to me

If I know not You and Your love

Fill me then with Your Spirit

Descending upon me as a Dove

Oh, glorious life I know

Abundant living I know in You

I live in You, and You in me

I marvel how this is true

In worship, I fall at Your feet

Made of dust only am I

Yet You, the Potter, take me

To redeem and to beautify

A place of honor I hold now

Deserving, no, yet You love me so

You fill me with Yourself

That to all I may Your love show

I rejoice in Your mercy

I sing of Your love sweet

To be exalted high

Is to be at my Master’s feet

Your vessel I am, Lord

Humbled, that Your Spirit may fill

I am entirely Yours, Master

I am an instrument of Your will

Fill me Your Spirit then

Yes, fill me without measure

Your Spirit within me, Lord

Is my priceless Treasure

Faith: Freely Given from Our Father

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Twelve Apostles by Worakit Sirijinda

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-Card!)

Lord, increase my faith

Each and every day

For one can please you only

By believing all You say

Cast out every doubt

To all darkness bring light

Let my focus be not on the seen

But on all that is beyond sight

May my eyes see always Heaven

My heart be set on treasures above

Believing and obeying Your Word

Yes, this is how I express my love

Faith is being sure what we hope for

And certain of what we do not see

Through faith we can move mountains

With it righteous in Your eyes we can be

For to all who receive Jesus Christ

To all who believe in His Holy Name

You give the right to be Your children

Your Family and ours, one and the same

Glorious, miraculous, precious is faith

It brings life eternal, blissful and true

Faith draws our hearts ever closer

To knowing and experiencing You

How can we gain this precious faith

Of which its worth is far more than gold?

By listening to Your Word, O LORD,

Established from the days of old

I will immerse myself in Your Word

Let Your Truth fill my heart and ears

For blessed is the one who understands

And practices the Word she hears

Praise You, LORD, my God and Father

I praise You for Your wondrous ways

You determined how to save Your children

Through faith You save from darkest days

Inspiring it is to know You, Almighty One

Blissful it is to unite my heart with Yours

May I share Your message of love and faith

To those of distant lands and shores

And may my faith be pleasing to You

May it prove to be full, pure and complete

For to know You, love You and serve You

Nothing on earth could be more sweet

Flowers

Lilliam by Tom Curtis

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)

Gentle flowers

Leaning toward the sun

Longing for light

Bowing before the One

Towering trees

Arms stretched high

Hailing the King

Embracing Him nigh

Singing sparrows

In symphony soar

Proclaiming His Majesty

Each day all the more

Leaves of Spring

Budding and green

Bursting with rebirth

The Unseen in the seen

Waves of the ocean

Splashing on the shore

Rhythmic tides certain

For God’s ways are sure

Glorious rainbow

Colorful prism above

Reflecting God’s beauty

Splendor of His love

Grains of soft sand

Countless and vast

Bespeak God’s eternity

The First and Last

Shimmering stars

Compasses of night

For in the darkness

Our Guide is God’s Light

Brilliant sun star

Around which revolves earth

For God is man’s Center

And in Him is rebirth

Galaxy immense

No mind can comprehend

Yet greater is God’s love

For His Son He did send

Creatures tiny

Living on earth and in sea

Too small for our sight

Yet all the more so are we

For compared to God

Nothing is man

Yet He loves us so

And created His Plan

For though we are dust

Mists and vapors fleeting

Our Creator died for us

Endured death and beating

Creation proclaims Him

Nature bespeaks the King

So glorious is our God

Sweet Life He does bring

So sing, my soul, with Nature

With the trees and the sparrow

Surrender all to my Lord

Walking upon His Way narrow

And rejoice, my heart, in Him

Embrace His undying love

I am nothing – yet beloved

By my eternal Father above

With the gentle flowers

I lean toward the Son

I long for His Light

I bow before the One

With towering trees

My arms stretch high

I hail my King

Embracing Him nigh

I sing with sparrows

Who in symphony soar

We proclaim His Majesty

Each day all the more

My Creator, my Beloved

I follow forever Your call

For although I am nothing

You are Everything and All

Lead Me, Lord…

Lead Me, Lord Jesus…

Image courtesy www.freedigitalphotos.net
Light Path by Dan

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)

Lead me, Lord,

Wherever You do please

I long to bring You glory

To You all things I release

If You lead me to the mountain

I will follow with gladdened heart

If You lead me to the shores

I will rejoice from the very start

If You lead me in the valleys

To You, Lord, I will cling

If You bring me to dark waters

I will celebrate the Light You bring

Throughout my lifelong journey

I will heed Your voice each day

No path is of beauty and grace

Unless it is upon Your sacred Way

So lead me, my precious Lord

My life, each day, is fully Thine

Sweet to live for You, my Master

To abide in Your will divine

I will follow Your lead, Lord

Whithersoever You may go

It is You, only You, Jesus

Whom I long to know

I will follow You always

No matter where the path may lead

May I always be with You, Lord

For this I pray and plead

For, as a Lamb, You followed

The lead of Your Father Above

You submitted Yourself to His will

A Vessel of His Light and Love

You followed Him to the desert

You followed Him to Galilee

You followed Him to the temple

You followed Him to Gethsemane

Every word of Your Father

You embraced and did fulfill

You drank the cup He gave You

Submitting humbly to His will

As they nailed You to the Cross

You, Master, retained full power

Yet You accepted crucifixion

For it was the appointed hour

Sinless Lamb, pure and white

Sacrificed for all on Calvary

My soul quavers at the sight

For my Lord died for me

So You, my Master, I follow

I know not what else to do

You gave all of Yourself to me

I give all of myself to You

Lead me, beloved Lord,

Wherever You do please

I long to bring You glory

To You all things I release

Yes, lead me, my Jesus

My life, each day, is fully Thine

Sweet to live for You, my Master

To abide in Your will divine

Garden of the Heart

(Send as an Inspirational Christian Lighthouse e-card!)

Whispering winds
Speaking Your Word
In the breeze
Truth can be heard

For You created winds
You created the earth
The stars, the oceans
You caused their birth

Nature glorifies You
By keeping Your Way
The winds and the birds
Keep the commands You say

And what about me?
What about the life I live?
Do I glorify You
Adhering to laws You give?

May my heart ever be
One with Your Word
May my song be one
With the wind and bird

May I search Your Truth
May I follow Your Way
May I cling to Christ
All this I do pray

May my voice lift high
With my heart as I sing
It is the LORD who creates
And good gifts He does bring

The winds do not worry
The birds do not toil
The flowers do not struggle
Breaking forth from the soil

This life of ease
Of beauty and of peace
This is life we experience
When to You all we release

For the Life of Eden
Awaits us this moment now
Sweet fellowship with You
Children in Christ You allow

Walking closely with you
In the Garden each day
I experience Your Presence
As I sing and as I pray

My God is my Father
My best Friend too
He fills my heart with love
And reveals all that is true

I raise my arms then
And lift my voice in song
With the flowers and the birds
Yes, this is where I belong

We join to sing praises
To our God on High
His treasures He shares
And His heart to us is nigh

Yes, the whispering winds
Speak Your precious Word
And in the gentle breezes
Your Truth can be heard
