How Great You Are.

"For great is your love, reaching to the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies. "
NIV Psalm 57:10

Dear God,

Unless I seek to find Your Face
Unless I look in ev'ry place
Unless I search all knowledge, far
How can I know How Great You Are?

Unless I talk to worst of men
Unless I lay with girls of sin
Unless I look in ev'ry jar
How can I know How Great You Are?

Unless I seek the highest sky
Unless I ask the deepest why
Unless I look both wide and far
How can I know How Great You Are?

And so I'll throw away my ceilings
Floors and fences, nourish feelings
Explore your ev'ry single star
To learn it all; How Great You Are.

Amen.

Newell darling boy I suppose you think that I’m going to praise you to the skies? Hmmm? …….. Well, of course I am, this is utterly utterly wonderful as YOU very well know.

This is really fabulous writing sometimes when you don’t expect it showers of moonbeams descend on you. They dropped like little twinkles of delight when I read this. Oh my eyes they are refreshed and my soul is washed in joy this is sooooooooo fabulous. YOU always treat my soul to sheer delight thank you

Absolutely first class writing

I’d fallen too far from HIS light
I thought I’d always live in night
Then one day HE spoke to me
And handed me the key to liberty
HIS son bought my soul with LOVE
And then HE rose to reside above
How great is HE? This you know
Very great and may his greatness grow


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy



To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79

Marsha, darling girl.

You say:

I’d fallen too far from HIS light
I thought I’d always live in night
Then one day HE spoke to me
And handed me the key to liberty
HIS son bought my soul with LOVE
And then HE rose to reside above
How great is HE? This you know
Very great and may his greatness grow

May I say?

As you and I create
His greatness glows and grows
For never is there hate
Or jealous moments, though
We love in Him, there is no sin
For light shows purity
And so I thank Him every day
He sent your Love to me.

I love you, Mushy

So then...

how can I know how great life is
unless I die

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
