A Thousand Years A thousand years to Him are but a day Not bound, as we, by mere constraints of time The present, past and future they all play As one their perfect harmonies sublime. The Lord of all doth see with perfect eyes Alas, we mortals but with jaundiced view Within His arms the soul can rhapsodize In Ancient’s song that ever will be new. “Fear not”, He says, “I come to you in peace; I’ve paid your debt, receive this priceless gift; Believe in Me, your soul will find release; My song of love can heal the deepest rift.” O, Prince of Peace, a symphony you bring Discordant once, Your praises now I sing. 12/31/99 The doves of peace have just been released in Bethlehem to celebrate the New Year there! Happy New Year to all my friends at Passions! I love you all! < !signature--> Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-01-2000).] |

Loved this one, Denise! The thing about a poem like this one is that it is so inspirational. One never knows how badly another might be in need of inspiration; the comforting reminder that He is there! Also, great to see a picture of you! And...Happy New Year to you, also! Corinne |

I loved it Denise, and Happy New Year to you too! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |
