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 ((Marsha)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
