God Is In Us All
Inspired by 'Deer's God Is In Us All

My friend you've reminded me of something I'd forgot
That God is held within us all, his love will never rot
He's there inside me as I wake with me though the day
He hears my thoughts, he sees my dreams, he listens to what I say
He understands all that I am, yet He still loves me
I’ve sinned and walked the crooked path but he has set me free
My mind was shut I didn’t see I would surely fall
My friend your soul’s telling me that He loves us one and all

My friend you've given me a gift something rare and true
You've shown me that if I try that I'll come shining through
I’ve witnessed life can be good when it is filled with love
There's beauty, truth and honesty, a gift from Him above
He does not plead for silver he doesn’t ask for gold
Nor does he turn his face away although our faith turns cold
All we get from Him is a powerful gift of light
My friend your eyes are telling me that fear doesn’t live in night

My friend you've recalled to me the truth by which we live
You've said that love is there for us, it is a gift to give
Your wise words have restored in me my lost memory
That HE doesn't wish us to live on in pain filled misery
He made this world of beauty and filled it with love’s light
And then he put us here on earth to walk within His sight
The choice he put before us to stay with him or go
My friend my thanks for telling me the things I need to know

Marsha


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Marsha,
This is so well said. Especially:

You've said that love is there for us, it is a gift to give

That is the core truth of love and life.

Well done.

Nan

Mushy,  you were inspired and you have
written an inspiration...

Surely one of your very best...

You grow poetically each day, and I enjoy
watching the growth in your words...

If I had anything to do with this, I am proud. I may have inspired it but you wrote it and it is first-rate. Well done, mushy one

When HE speaks
we should listen
when HE speaks to the soul
we should act

Maaaaaaaasha, i love the even flow you write with.
A cool enlightening breeze to flutter our spirits
~basking in the sweet wind of your thoughts~
