Your Love

" Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water."
NIV John 4:10

Sweet memories haunt my soul night and day
How could they ever, ever go away?
And so I scream and dream wanting you
Tomorrow, just as yesterday, it's true.

And yet I know that time has stolen you
Away from me somewhere beyond the blue
I'm on my knees; it seems there's no release
Sadness and misery consume my peace.

Dear God I now pray to You in heaven
My bread has fallen; please add your leaven
Help me release all ugly pain to you
Accept your love in spite of all I do.

When I am naked inside my cover
Only You forever are my lover
I give you all my body, heart and soul
Give me release; make me complete, and whole!

Take my pain, my grief, all my misery
Send me Your Love in Peace, forever, free.

As I accept Your Love.

Oh Newell, such sadness as I have known, your lines are so wonderful as these
"Dear God I now pray to You in heaven
My bread has fallen; please add your leaven'
And with His love we make it through. Wonderful write, floria

Thank you floria. I think deep pain is an investment in God's purest love. The deeper the pain, the better able we are to recieve God's Love.

Krissy, O what a joy! Your mother is such a very special candle of light to so many needy souls. I know that you are very proud of her. I sure adore her. And thank you so very much for your very kind thoughts. I am deeply honored and humbled. As Marsha's daughter you are extra special to me.
