~ In HIM ~

When the shadows seem to be too near
When the path you walk is full of fear
If your soul feels the pain too much
And you face again sorrow’s touch
Look to HIM to drive the dark away
In HIM you’ll find your hope today

When darkness covers up your sky
When your wings are too weak to fly
If the night never gives way to dawn
If your soul feels battered and so torn
Ask HIM to help you in your need
HE will plant in you loves’ pure seed

When your tears seem to always fall
When you can’t hear happiness call
If you feel rootless and cast adrift
If in your heart there’s a rift
Lift up your eyes to HIM and pray
With HIM you’ll get through the day

Marsha

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

Marsha, darling girl. What a beautiful poem you have written, In HIM. You, sweet and very, very talented Marsha are truly amazing. Your poetry just keeps getting better and better. And your content is just the very, very finest. I'm sure that He is very proud of you!

And you know that when you write a beautiful poem, like this one you will inspire me. And you DID. May I share with you the poem, below? You are the inspiriation and I dedicate it to HIM, for you. I will also post it in Spiritual. Thank you, Marsha for the joy you bring us. Yes, you know that I love you! xo

===========================================

Come fly with HIM

(Inspired by Marsha's poem, In HIM)

"The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel" –which means,
"God with us." NIV Matthew 1:23

I hear her call, an angel, from heaven
To come to HIM and bare my soul in need
A trill so sweet my soul's reborn, leavens
For she has planted God begotten seed.

Come from the darkness; rise into the light
A dawn is breaking into morning sun
She takes my hand and leads me from the night
To HIM, I see the crippled walk and run.

I hear the music that she talks about
Happiness calls my broken heart to sing
My lost ship finds a star to guide me out
I love her, in Christ I find the King.

So now I'm called to fly above the stars
With peace and joy and happiness above
Up where the sun is always shining far
And there's no night or sadness, only love,

So take my hand and seek HIS face in joy
Come fly with HIM. Come ev'ry girl and boy.

Come fly with HIM.

Marsha, darling girl. I am reading you, again. You do inspire me! And so I write! And the poem, which you inspire, I dedicate to Mushy, Sweet One! xo

============================================

In Her - inspired by Marsha's poem In Him

"Then the Lord spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no form; there was only a voice" NIV Deuteronomy 4:12.

My darkened path I walk in sadness, fear
O God where are you? I need your light here
I need your fire to warm my cold, cold soul
I need completeness; please come! Make me whole.

As I search all Scripture, no man sees God
In selfishness in greed and lust he plods
Sinking deeper, deeper into his mire
Illusions, lust, guilt, stealing her desire.

And men of cloth articulate a He
To serve in bondage never being free
Although the Word shows God as a hot fire
Burning sin; freeing converted liars.

And as I look at man's wrong shaded choices
I hear Warm Sweet Golden Women's voices
Come in to Me! Come into Warm Desire
My Womb awaits your soul in burning fire.

Is She the other half of GOD, I Am!
Sister, Mother of Christ God's Holy Lamb.

And so in Christ my soul's in Love with God

In Her.

I'm so glad I read this! Oh my gosh it's so beautiful!

I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.
