			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear God,</p>
<p>Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life.<br />
Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind.</p>
<p>Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart.</p>
<p>Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.</p>
<p>And most of all, Dear God,<br />
I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the &#8220;am nots&#8221;<br />
that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not  good enough.</p>
<p>Amen</p>
<p>Author Known To God</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Always seeking the American Idol</p>
<p>Needing someone we can idolize</p>
<p>Always looking for someone who’s glorious</p>
<p>Stronger, wiser, younger, beautiful in our eyes</p>
<p>Always looking for someone to worship</p>
<p>A loved one, teacher, mentor or ‘the king”</p>
<p>As one by one the things we cherish are removed</p>
<p>We realize at last ~ God’s everything</p>
<p>People round the world search one to worship</p>
<p>Someone they can put on pedestal</p>
<p>It matters not if football or if princess</p>
<p>We identify with artificial models</p>
<p>It gives our mundane life unspoken value</p>
<p>To suddenly be connected to the stars</p>
<p>Who’s who in society or politics</p>
<p>Imagining this will somehow take us far</p>
<p>God alone is worthy of our worship</p>
<p>Almighty King of Kings outshines the rest</p>
<p>He alone is holy and forever</p>
<p>His love alone can withstand every test</p>
<p>The rest are temporary, broken symbols</p>
<p>Representing all we think God is</p>
<p>But they are merely human in disguises</p>
<p>And they, like us, walk fragile lives of sin</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD</p>
<p>IS WHAT YOU SAID TO ME</p>
<p>ANNOYED WITH ALL MY CHATTER</p>
<p>I THOUGHT THAT YOU MUST BE</p>
<p>TRYING SO HARD TO HAVE CONTROL</p>
<p>OF LIFE THAT SPINS RELENTLESSLY</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>EVERY AGE, EVERY STAGE</p>
<p>STRINGS OF A MASTER PULLED</p>
<p>FROM WOUNDED CHILD</p>
<p>TO ABUSED MATE</p>
<p>I NEVER FELT QUITE GOOD</p>
<p>BUT NOW YOU ARE MY MASTER</p>
<p>FOR YOU HAVE CHOSEN ME</p>
<p>I’LL NEVER UNDERSTAND IT</p>
<p>JUST WHAT IT IS YOU SEE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I NEVER DO FEEL WORTHY</p>
<p>OF ALL YOUR GIFTS AND TIME</p>
<p>I NEVER CAN BE WORTHY</p>
<p>OF YOUR GREAT SACRIFICE</p>
<p>FOR WHAT IS MAN OR WOMAN</p>
<p>THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL, CARE</p>
<p>AND YET YOU GIVE YOUR ALL TO PROVE</p>
<p>THAT EACH DAY YOU’RE STILL THERE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>THE SEVENTH DAY YOU RESTED</p>
<p>CREATION SET IN MOTION</p>
<p>THE PLAN OF GOD COMPLETE</p>
<p>AND AFTER RESURRECTION</p>
<p>EVEN CHRIST TOOK HIS SEAT</p>
<p>NOTHING LEFT TO DO NOW</p>
<p>BUT EMBRACE AND BELIEVE</p>
<p>PUT ASIDE UNSETTLING</p>
<p>QUESTIONS, DOUBTS AND UNBELIEF</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>TRUSTING IN YOUR GOODNESS</p>
<p>KNOWING YOU ARE LOVE</p>
<p>DESPITE OUR FOOLISH CHOICES</p>
<p>YOU GUIDE US FROM ABOVE</p>
<p>CONSTANTLY PROVIDING</p>
<p>ALL WE EVER NEED</p>
<p>EVEN AS WE SHUT YOU OUT</p>
<p>LOOKING FOR MORE IN GREED</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>WE ARE MERELY DUST OF EARTH</p>
<p>FORMED BY YOUR OWN HANDS</p>
<p>BREATH OF LIFE BREATHED INTO US</p>
<p>BY YOUR SPIRIT, BREATHE OF HEAVEN</p>
<p>FASHIONED IN YOUR IMAGE</p>
<p>HOLY TRINITY</p>
<p>ETERNAL SOUL, FLESH, SPIRIT</p>
<p>MAKES EACH ONE COMPLETE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>YOUR WAYS SO HIGH ABOVE OURS</p>
<p>OUR FINITE MINDS CAN’T GRASP</p>
<p>BUT YOU HAVE LEFT AN IMAGE</p>
<p>IN EACH AND EVERY MAN</p>
<p>THREE CORDS NOT EASILY BROKEN</p>
<p>IF ONE CORD IS REMOVED</p>
<p>REMAINS INCOMPLETE PLAN</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>MAN WITHOUT SOUL IS ANIMAL</p>
<p>WITHOUT CONSCIENCE, WITHOUT HOPE</p>
<p>BREATHING OUT AND BREATHING IN</p>
<p>LIVE FOR MOMENT LOST IN SIN</p>
<p>DRIVEN AND SLAVE TO SENSES FIVE</p>
<p>MERELY EXISTING, NOT ALIVE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>MAN WITHOUT FLESH IS DEAD TO EARTH</p>
<p>THOUGH HIS SOUL AND SPIRIT HAVE WORTH</p>
<p>NO LONGER CAN HE DANCE OR SING</p>
<p>LOVE, REMEMBER… ANYTHING</p>
<p>FROZEN IN THE SHELL OF EARTH</p>
<p>HOPES AND DREAMS HAVE COME AND GONE</p>
<p>CROWN OF CREATION HAS SUNG HIS SONG</p>
<p>RESTING TILL GOD CALLS HIS NAME</p>
<p>TO GIVE ACCOUNT AND FULL EXPLAIN</p>
<p>HIS ONLY HOPE THE SEED OF LIFE</p>
<p>PLANTED BY THE GIFT OF CHRIST</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>MAN WITHOUT SPIRIT IS NOT MAN</p>
<p>BREATH BREATHED IN BY <strong>GREAT I AM</strong></p>
<p>ONCE MAN DIES AND BREATHES HIS LAST</p>
<p>SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD AT LAST</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>CREATIVE GENIOUS, INSPIRATION</p>
<p>WILL TO LIVE, IMAGINATION</p>
<p>ALL THAT LIFTS US OUT OF SELF</p>
<p>TEACHES US TRUE WISDOM, WEALTH</p>
<p>THE PART OF US THAT CLINGS TO HOPE</p>
<p>THAT TURNS TO GOD AND SAVES OUR SOUL</p>
<p>CHANCES OVER, GRACES SPENT</p>
<p>LOST OR FOUND, OUT OR IN</p>
<p>NO MORE CHANCE OF TIME NOW FLOWN</p>
<p>SPIRIT RISES BACK TO HOME</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD</p>
<p>IS WHAT YOU SAID TO ME</p>
<p>LAY ASIDE YOUR BUSYNESS</p>
<p>YOU ARE HERE FOR <strong>MY</strong> GLORY</p>
<p>MY CREATION, PLAN AND TIMING</p>
<p>BEGINNING, MIDDLE, END</p>
<p>NOT ABOUT YOU BUT ME, YOU SEE</p>
<p>YET I HAVE CALLED YOU FRIEND</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>LIKE A CHILD WHO STANDS ON STOOL</p>
<p>HELPING MOM DO DISHES</p>
<p>WHEN THE CHILD HAS DONE ITS BEST</p>
<p>MOM CLEANS UP THE MESSES</p>
<p>BUT OH! THE JOY OF LOVE THAT’S SHARED</p>
<p>WITH TASK DONE IN COMMUNION</p>
<p>LAUGHTER, FAILURE, EVEN TEARS</p>
<p>ARE SWEETER WITH THE UNION</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SET YOUR WORK DOWN</p>
<p>ENTER MY REST</p>
<p>IT’S ABOUT TIME THAT YOU WERE BLESSED</p>
<p>WITH PEACE THAT SUSTAINS YOUR WEARY SOUL</p>
<p>BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT WHOLE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>BALANCED AND GROUNDED</p>
<p>LIKE STARS IN THE NIGHT</p>
<p>CONSTANT IN MOTION YET RESTING IN SKY</p>
<p>SINGING THEIR JOY TO THE GOD OF CREATION</p>
<p>POINTING THE WAY TO EACH MAN IN EACH NATION</p>
<p>FAITHFUL FULFILLING THEIR TASK FROM GOD</p>
<p>WORK OF HIS HANDS, TO HIS GLORY THEY NOD</p>
<p>THEIR VAST EXPANSE KEEPS OUR PRIDE IN ITS PLACE</p>
<p>WE HUMBLY BOW WHEN WE LOOK IN HIS FACE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>THEIR GLORIOUS BEAUTY, BREATH TAKING</p>
<p>BUT IT IS OF HIM THEY CONSTANT SING</p>
<p>HOW SMALL WE FEEL IN THE UNIVERSE</p>
<p>HOW HOLY WE FEEL WHEN WE SENSE OUR WORTH</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>                                                    </strong></p>
<p>I love the spring</p>
<p>When the Robins hop and warble</p>
<p>When the flowers push their heads above the snow</p>
<p>When the leaves are just beginning to show their shades of green</p>
<p>When the earth warms, soft and spongy, beneath my bare feet</p>
<p>I love summer</p>
<p>When no one is in a hurry</p>
<p>When the children bring their laughter to the sun</p>
<p>When I can go a swimming and be the weightless one</p>
<p>When the butterflies and chimes drift soft and sweet</p>
<p>I love the fall</p>
<p>When breezes become nippy</p>
<p>When a lazy weekend morning smells of smoke</p>
<p>When the trees are dressed in splendor that flowers wore in spring</p>
<p>When the earth rests, soft and spongy, beneath my bare feet</p>
<p>I hate winter</p>
<p>When the trees and joints are frozen</p>
<p>When my youthful joy is smothered by the pain</p>
<p>When I can hardly straighten and each part of me locks up</p>
<p>When I mourn the loss of all that I could do back in the spring</p>
<p>When the days are long and dreary</p>
<p>When it drizzles dawn to dusk</p>
<p>When the ice prevents you walking in the snow</p>
<p>When you sit as couch potato, aching as your body rusts</p>
<p> When it’s too cold</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For years I packed and repacked</p>
<p>My heavy, guilty load</p>
<p>Pushed it up each mountain</p>
<p>Dragged it down each coast</p>
<p>Wrapped it tight around me</p>
<p>So as not to lose one note</p>
<p>Reaping all that I had sown</p>
<p>Until I thought I’d choke</p>
<p>I lived in condemnation</p>
<p>God’s wrath was all I heard</p>
<p>“Thou shalt not!” rang in my ears</p>
<p>And peace was just a word.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There were those around me</p>
<p>Held me in my place</p>
<p>Hearts of stone and eyes of steel</p>
<p>Hardened on each face</p>
<p>Nothing of forgiveness</p>
<p>Nothing there of grace</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was drawn to His Presence</p>
<p>I heard Him call my name</p>
<p>I wondered what awaited</p>
<p>But answered just the same</p>
<p>Startled by His tenderness</p>
<p>That looked beneath it all</p>
<p>Overwhelmed by loving eyes</p>
<p>Acceptance broke my fall.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Leave the suitcase in the path”</p>
<p>I heard Him sweetly say</p>
<p>I noticed it was empty</p>
<p>He had carried guilt away</p>
<p>Hidden neath the ocean</p>
<p>Where no one could retrieve</p>
<p>He said it was forgotten</p>
<p>If only I’d <strong><em>believe</em></strong></p>
<p>“But someone has to pay it!”</p>
<p>I cried with sorrow then</p>
<p>“I paid each debt when <strong><em>I became</em></strong></p>
<p>Your each and every sin”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Follow Me and you will see</p>
<p>My grace will take you far</p>
<p>Holiness ~ not what you do</p>
<p>No, it is who you are</p>
<p>It’s not outward appearance</p>
<p>But Me within your heart</p>
<p>Transforming and renewing</p>
<p>All twas stolen from your heart”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“I satisfied the wrath of God</p>
<p>Against all that sin destroyed</p>
<p>The relationship you have with Me</p>
<p>Will change you from inside</p>
<p>The Father loves us both, you see</p>
<p>So sent Me from His side</p>
<p>To rescue you and bring you home</p>
<p>I paid the required price”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Obedience of you and Me</p>
<p>Has filled His heart with pride</p>
<p>I live to worship all HE IS</p>
<p>I will show you through My eyes</p>
<p>His victory over our enemies</p>
<p>Brings glory to His Name</p>
<p>For clouds of witnesses who watch</p>
<p>Are cheering this great race</p>
<p>The war between the light and dark</p>
<p>Is what it’s all about</p>
<p>You have become a child of light</p>
<p>Light chases darkness, doubt”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Your life a witness to His power</p>
<p>His love has reconciled</p>
<p>Breathe out you and breathe in Me</p>
<p>Holy Spirit is your guide</p>
<p>A bubbling spring inside, you see</p>
<p>Of everlasting Life</p>
<p>Life and Peace is what I AM</p>
<p>THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE ONE</p>
<p>Only I can claim The Name</p>
<p>Of God’s Begotten Son”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“You, formed in Our image, <em>yes</em></p>
<p>My hands, His breath, His plan</p>
<p>The crown of all creation was</p>
<p>When God created man</p>
<p>We will, together, make it real</p>
<p>Unfolding page by page</p>
<p>Because I AM unchangeable</p>
<p>Through every single age</p>
<p>We, in service to THE KING</p>
<p>Worship the Great <strong>I AM</strong></p>
<p>Becoming all He had in mind</p>
<p>Before the Earth’s foundation”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Christ in you, the hope of <strong><em>glory</em></strong></p>
<p>To HIM, to ME, to you</p>
<p>Created and transformed through life</p>
<p>Through death~ obedience too</p>
<p>Into My noble Remnant</p>
<p>Strong characters of gold</p>
<p>Faith in every Word of God</p>
<p>Salvation to eternal souls”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some folks live to lead others</p>
<p>Not living the things they teach</p>
<p>Some folks are good with words</p>
<p>Not practicing what they preach</p>
<p>Disqualified by our actions</p>
<p>Attitudes and motives impure</p>
<p>God sets us aside because He knows</p>
<p>What the crowd doesn&#8217;t see, obscured</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gideon saved his people</p>
<p>God found him hiding, afraid</p>
<p>Discouraged by the difference he saw</p>
<p>In the acts of God displayed</p>
<p>In the days of his faithful heros</p>
<p>The men of the Scriptures of old</p>
<p>He wondered where the power went</p>
<p>The glory his people sold</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>They traded in Jehovah</p>
<p>For idols of Asherah</p>
<p>They worshipped at alters of Baal</p>
<p>Insted of the one true GOD</p>
<p>They did what was right in their own eyes</p>
<p>Paying the price of slaves</p>
<p>Living a life unbearable</p>
<p>Their enemies stripping all gain</p>
<p>Barely eeking out a living</p>
<p>Had it stolen, killed, destroyed</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Gideon prayed for a miracle</p>
<p>And beheld the face of the Lord</p>
<p>The people cheered his bravery</p>
<p>Wanted to crown him king</p>
<p>Now anyone else chosen of God</p>
<p>Might think this an excellent thing</p>
<p>He followed in obediance</p>
<p>He fought against all odds</p>
<p>Remembering the victory</p>
<p>Was solely due to God</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t question timing</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t question plan</p>
<p>When God said there were too many</p>
<p>He eliminated thousands</p>
<p>He marched with noble remnant</p>
<p>Trusting Jehovah&#8217;s lead</p>
<p>The victory won, enemy on the run</p>
<p>He reminded them GOD was their King</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He said &#8216;neither I nor my children</p>
<p>Is fit to take God&#8217;s place</p>
<p>Only He is fit to rule</p>
<p>I a student, still in school</p>
<p>Am content to share His grace&#8217;</p>
<p>The people were so fickle</p>
<p>They worshipped all but God</p>
<p>Even Gideons act of worship</p>
<p>Became the evil ephod</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Should we stop producing</p>
<p>Fruit that blesses God</p>
<p>Oil that blesses others</p>
<p>Just to gain men&#8217;s nod</p>
<p>Vote of their approval</p>
<p>Stand above the rest</p>
<p>Giving up the sweetness</p>
<p>To wave and fail the test</p>
<p>Wanting men to humbly</p>
<p>Bow beneath our shade</p>
<p>Seeing ourselves superior</p>
<p>To others that God has made</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our chosen leaders</p>
<p>Reflect our hearts</p>
<p>Loyalties test our worth</p>
<p>Our<em><strong> true</strong></em> beliefs, our secret sins</p>
<p>Exposed by who we serve</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IF MY PEOPLE&#8230;</p>
<p>THE ONES WHO CARRY MY NAME</p>
<p>CHRISTIANS, IF YOU WILL</p>
<p>WILL HUMBLY PRAY AND SEEK MY FACE</p>
<p>TURNING AWAY FROM EVIL</p>
<p>I WILL SEE AND I WILL HEAR</p>
<p>ANSWERING THEM FROM HEAVEN</p>
<p>YES, MY HEART WILL THEN DRAW NEAR</p>
<p>POURING OUT MY GRACE AND BLESSING</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>CHOSEN AND CONSECRATED</p>
<p>I HAVE SET THEM APART</p>
<p>BUT MY CHILDREN WALK IN FOOLISHNESS</p>
<p>THEY CONSTANTLY DEPART</p>
<p>WHAT NATIONS HAVE YOU EVER SEEN</p>
<p>THAT TRADE THEIR gods LIKE THESE</p>
<p>RUNNING HERE, THERE, EVERYWHERE</p>
<p>TESTING FOREIGN gods LIKE CHEESE</p>
<p>HEAVENS SHUDDERING IN HORROR</p>
<p>ANGELS FALLING TO THEIR KNEES</p>
<p>FOR THE COST I PAID WAS PRECIOUS</p>
<p>YET REBELLIOUS CHILDREN LEAD</p>
<p>GREAT JEHOVAH’S OWN CHILDREN</p>
<p>SHOULD REST HUMBLY ON THEIR KNEES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA</p>
<p>BEGINNING WITHOUT END</p>
<p>THE TRUTH, THE LIVING WATER</p>
<p>PROVIDER FOR ALL MEN</p>
<p>THERE IS NONE BESIDE ME</p>
<p>I DO NOT SHARE MY THRONE</p>
<p>BUT MY CHILDREN WALK IN BLINDNESS</p>
<p>CARVING OUT WELLS OF THEIR OWN</p>
<p>THEY DO NOT EVEN NOTICE</p>
<p>THAT MY GLORY HAS DEPARTED</p>
<p>I HAVE TAKEN ONE STEP BACK</p>
<p>WEEP TO SEE THEY ARE HARD HEARTED</p>
<p>THEY HAVE POURED OUT LIVING WATER</p>
<p>THAT ONCE BUBBLED FROM THEIR HEARTS</p>
<p>INTO WELLS AND CISTERNS</p>
<p>THAT LEAK AND FALL APART</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>REFRESHMENT HAS BEEN WASTED</p>
<p>AS IT SOAKS INTO THE SAND</p>
<p>IT CANNOT BE REGATHERED</p>
<p>AS THE SAND SIFTS THROUGH THEIR HANDS</p>
<p>SO THEY’RE LEFT PARCHED AND THIRSTY</p>
<p>AS THEY WANDER TO AND FRO</p>
<p>LEAVING ME BEHIND… THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW</p>
<p>MY PEOPLE ARE FOOLS</p>
<p>THEY DON’T EVEN KNOW ME</p>
<p>SENSELESS CHILDREN</p>
<p>WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING</p>
<p>THOUGH I’VE LEFT THEM EXAMPLES</p>
<p>OF WHAT THAT WILL MEAN</p>
<p>IN THE STORY THAT I TOLD THEM</p>
<p>OF FIVE FOOLISH AND FIVE WISE</p>
<p>THEY WERE WARNED TO BE READY</p>
<p>TO STAY READY AT ALL TIMES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>FOR THEY DID NOT KNOW THE HOUR</p>
<p>THAT GOD CHOSE FOR MY RETURN</p>
<p>AND THEY’VE ALREADY FORGOTTEN</p>
<p>DOOR WAS CLOSED AND FOOLISH YEARNED</p>
<p>THEY WERE MINE YET DID NOT KNOW ME</p>
<p>FOR THEY NEVER TOOK THE TIME</p>
<p>SAT IN MINDLESS, THOUGHTLESS DREAMING</p>
<p>DID NOT SEEK THIS HEART OF MINE</p>
<p>EVEN WHEN IN MY HOUSE</p>
<p>THEY WERE DEAF AND THEY WERE BLIND</p>
<p>BUSY WITH THEIR SCHEDULES</p>
<p>THEIR INTERESTS AND SCHEMES</p>
<p>TEXTING ON THEIR CELL PHONES</p>
<p>TRADING TRUTH FOR DREAMS</p>
<p>SO THEIR LAMPS OF OIL WERE EMPTY</p>
<p>THEIR HEARTS HOLLOW, HARD AND DRY</p>
<p>LEFT TO WANDER IN THE DARKNESS</p>
<p>OF THEIR SELF DIRECTED LIVES</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SKILLED IN DOING EVIL</p>
<p>AT A LOSS FOR DOING GOOD</p>
<p>THEY KNEW WHAT WAS REQUIRED</p>
<p>I WARNED THEM THAT THEY SHOULD</p>
<p>BUT THEY SLEPT, PROCRASTINATED</p>
<p>NEVER GETTING ROUND TO IT</p>
<p>UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE</p>
<p>THEN SUDDENLY, THEY RUSHED RIGHT TO IT</p>
<p>THE SACRIFICE I’VE ASKED FOR IS MERCY WITHOUT END</p>
<p>CARING FOR WIDOWS, FEEDING THE ORPHANS</p>
<p>SHELTERING THE HOMELESS, FORGIVING ALL MEN</p>
<p>VISITING THE PRISONERS WITH MY GOOD NEWS</p>
<p>PUTTING RUBBER TO THE ROAD, FAITH WITH SHOES</p>
<p>POUR IN OIL OF MY SPIRIT, POUR IN ME TO HEAL THEIR WOUNDS</p>
<p>WALK IN FAITHFULNESS AND LOVE</p>
<p>HEAL THE BROKEN AND THE BLEEDING</p>
<p>LEFT ON ROADTO WASTE AND DEATH</p>
<p>RUN TO BANDAGE ALL THAT’S NEEDING</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ANGELS MAY BE WRAPPED, DISGUISED</p>
<p>IN THE RAGS OF WAR AND STRIFE</p>
<p>IF YOU LOOK DEEP IN THEIR EYES</p>
<p>YOU MAY SEE THE EYES OF CHRIST</p>
<p>LIVE TO PLEASE YOUR GOD, CREATOR AND KING</p>
<p>DON’T WALK IN FEAR OF MAN, ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING</p>
<p>PRAY MY KINGDOM COME, MY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH</p>
<p>NO ONE BEYOND MY REACH, ANNOUNCE TO THEM THEIR WORTH</p>
<p>FOLLOW MY LEAD, ANSWERING MY CALL</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TRANSFORMATION</strong></p>
<p>I CAME INTO YOUR ROOM</p>
<p>BUT YOU WERE SLEEPING</p>
<p>SITTING UP WITH OXYGEN</p>
<p>STUGGLING FOR EVERY BREATH</p>
<p>FIDGETING AND FRETFUL</p>
<p>AS IF DREAMING, NOT AT REST</p>
<p>DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART TO WAKE YOU</p>
<p>I STAYED CLOSE, ALL THE SAME</p>
<p>I CREPT INTO THE CORNER</p>
<p>AGAINST THE FARTHEST WALL</p>
<p>SITTING NEXT TO YOUR BED</p>
<p>LIGHT SPILLING IN FROM THE HALL</p>
<p>HERE IN HOSPICE, ONE MORE TIME</p>
<p>THIS TIME YOUR LUNGS FILLING</p>
<p>LAST BREATH ONLY A MATTER OF TIME</p>
<p>YOUR HAIR AS WHITE AS PUREST SNOW</p>
<p>SPREAD OUT ACROSS YOUR PILLOW</p>
<p>I SIMPLY HELD YOUR HAND AND PRAYED</p>
<p>TEARS SILENT, POURING DOWN MY FACE</p>
<p>THE LOVE WITHIN MY HEART FOR YOU</p>
<p>COULD NO LONGER BE CONTAINED</p>
<p>WORDS NOT NECESSARY</p>
<p>NO WORDS COULD HOLD THE PAIN</p>
<p>FINALLY,  I,  DECIDING I SHOULD GO</p>
<p>KISSED YOUR FORHEAD, BENDING LOW</p>
<p>OVERWHELMED WITH GRIEF I WHISPERED</p>
<p>I LOVE YOU SO, MISS MARGARITE</p>
<p>YOU OPENED YOUR EYES AND WHISPERED</p>
<p>I KNOW YOU DO MY SWEET</p>
<p>I GAVE YOU A SIP OF WATER</p>
<p>PUT BALM ON YOUR LIPS A FINAL TIME</p>
<p>COVERED YOUR SHOULDERS, TUCKED YOU IN</p>
<p>YOU THANKED ME WITH VOICE SO SLIGHT</p>
<p>I TOLD YOU YOUR FAMILY WAS ON THE WAY</p>
<p>YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SON AND FRIENDS</p>
<p>YOU GRIMMACED AND SHOWED FRUSTRATION</p>
<p>AT THE DROOP OF YOUR LOVELY CHIN</p>
<p>YOUR SPEECH WAS SLURRED AND DIFFICULT</p>
<p>I COULD SEE YOU HAD SUFFERED A STROKE</p>
<p>I PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD RELEASE YOU</p>
<p>FREE YOU FROM FEAR, PAIN AND WORRY</p>
<p>THAT HE’D REPLACE THEM WITH HIS PEACE</p>
<p>SURROUND YOU WITH HIS AWESOME GLORY</p>
<p>FINALLY MAKING YOU WHOLE</p>
<p>I SAID, YOU’RE TIRED FROM THE BATTLE</p>
<p>FAITHFUL TO FIGHT TO THE END</p>
<p>YOU CAN REST NOW IN HIS STRONG  ARMS</p>
<p>JUST LEAN BACK HEAVY ON HIM</p>
<p>HE WILL PROTECT FROM HARM</p>
<p>PEACE THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING</p>
<p>REPLACED THE FRET AND FEAR</p>
<p>HIS PRESENCE WAS SO STRONG IN YOU</p>
<p>THICK, TANGIBLE, VISIBLY NEAR</p>
<p>I COULD NOT LEAVE</p>
<p>A HOLY HUSH</p>
<p>KEPT ME AT YOUR SIDE</p>
<p>MESMERIZED BY TRANSFORMATION</p>
<p>I WAS HONORED TO SHARE THE SIGHT</p>
<p>THE VERY MOMENT CHRIST IN YOU</p>
<p>SURFACED IN YOUR LAST NIGHT</p>
<p>THE HOPE OF GLORY REVEALED</p>
<p>LINES AND WRINKLES SOFTENED</p>
<p>THEN FELL AWAY, ERACED</p>
<p>I SEARCHED THE FAMILIAR PLACES</p>
<p>BUT LIKE A PORCELIN VASE</p>
<p>TRANSPARENT, PERFECT, SMOOTH AND FINE</p>
<p>THE LIGHT SHONE FROM WITHIN</p>
<p>THE FLESH WAS BARELY VISIBLE</p>
<p>THE SPIRIT SHONE ON HIM</p>
<p>BEAUTIFUL, I SAW YOU SHINE</p>
<p>FLAWLESS, YOUNG AND FILLED WITH LIGHT</p>
<p>I HEARD HIM WHISPER TO MY SOUL</p>
<p>THIS IS HOW ALL MY CHILDREN LOOK</p>
<p>ALL WHO TRULY BELONG TO ME</p>
<p>WHEN FLESH IS LAID ASIDE AT LAST</p>
<p>SPIRITS ARE RELEASED TO SOAR FREE</p>
<p>I BREAK THE CHAINS OF PAIN, CARE, FLESH</p>
<p>NO SHADOW OF THE FEAR OF DEATH</p>
<p>DISTRACTIONS, DOUBTING I AM HERE</p>
<p>NO LOOKING IN, BEHIND IN FEAR</p>
<p>NOT DROWNING IN REGRET</p>
<p>JUST WORSHIP IN THE MOMENT</p>
<p>SAVORING MY PRESENCE</p>
<p>NOT IN A HURRY OR SLOWNESS</p>
<p>UNAFRAID AND UNAWARE OF SELF</p>
<p>NOT TRADING WHAT THEY WANT THE MOST</p>
<p>FOR WHAT THEY WANT RIGHT NOW</p>
<p>SILENT, REVERENT, HOLINESS</p>
<p>HUSHED IN PEACE AND REST OF BROW</p>
<p>CHOOSING TO LAY DOWN ALL THEY LOVE</p>
<p>TRADING LIFES GOOD FOR MY BEST</p>
<p>KNOWING WHERE THEY COME FROM</p>
<p>WHERE THEY ARE GOING IS HOME</p>
<p>KNOWING WHOSE THEY ARE</p>
<p>KNOWING AND BELIEVING</p>
<p>I AM ETERNAL LIFE WITHIN</p>
<p>EVER NEAR, NOT FAR</p>
<p>DLG 11/02/2011</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> BECAUSE OF THE PRAYER OF ONE MAN</p>
<p>THE SUN AND MOON STOOD STILL</p>
<p>THE BATTLE RAGED ON FOR 24 HOURS</p>
<p>BEFORE THE SUN SET BEHIND THE HILL</p>
<p>THERE NEVER HAD BEEN SUCH A DAY BEFORE</p>
<p>THERE HASN’T BEEN SUCH A DAY SINCE</p>
<p>WHEN GOD STOPPED THE SUN IN ITS TRACKS</p>
<p>TO HELP OUT A CHILD OF HIS</p>
<p>THE ENEMY HID BEHIND THE TREES</p>
<p>WAITING FOR DARK OF NIGHT</p>
<p>WHEN THEY COULD STEAL AWAY</p>
<p>OUT OF JOSHUAS SIGHT</p>
<p>TO THEIR SURPRISE IT NEVER CAME</p>
<p>BECAUSE OF THE PRAYER OF ONE MAN</p>
<p>SUN AND MOON BOTH WERE TAMED</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>NOW MIRICLES OF YESTERDAY</p>
<p>INSPIRE ME TO MY BONES</p>
<p>DIVINE IMAGINATION</p>
<p>TO THESE STORIES OFTEN ROAMS</p>
<p>BUT GOD IS GOD FOREVER</p>
<p>HE SAYS HE HAS NOT CHANGED</p>
<p>YESTERDAY, TODAY, FOREVER</p>
<p>HE’LL ALWAYS BE THE SAME</p>
<p>SO ARE THERE NO MEN PRAYING</p>
<p>IS GOD TAKING A NAP</p>
<p>OR DO WE HAVE HIM IN A BOX</p>
<p>THAT SAYS YOU CAN’T DO <strong><em>THAT</em></strong></p>
<p>LAST I HEARD GOD COULD DO <em>ANYTHING</em></p>
<p>HE MAKES HIS MIND UP TO</p>
<p>HE ALWAYS WORKS OUTSIDE THE BOX</p>
<p>TO PROOVE THAT HE STILL RULES</p>
<p>HE MAY BE READY, WAITING</p>
<p>JUST WISHING FOR THE DAY</p>
<p>WHEN ONE MORE MAN, AUDATIOUS</p>
<p>DARES ASK HIM TO MAKE A WAY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF HIM</p>
<p>WHO BRINGS GOOD NEWS</p>
<p>THE RESSURRECTION AND THE LIFE</p>
<p>A FREE GIFT WE MUST CHOOSE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ESSENCE OF NARD, A RICH PERFUME</p>
<p>ANNOINTED THE FEET OF CHRIST</p>
<p>IN RECKLESS ABANDON, UNASHAMED</p>
<p>WITH MARY’S HAIR, THEY WERE DRIED</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AS THEY WERE NAILED UPON THE TREE</p>
<p>THE CROSS THAT BORE OUR SHAME</p>
<p>DO YOU THINK IT WAFTED UP TO HIM</p>
<p>MARY KNELT IN HIS MEMORY AND PAIN</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>DO YOU THINK, DISTRESSED THAT HE WAS GONE</p>
<p>WHEN SHE CAME TO HIS BURIAL PLACE</p>
<p>WITH SPICES AND HERBS WITH WHICH TO EMBALM</p>
<p>SHE REMEMBERED HER ACT OF GRACE</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>SATISFIED SHE HAD DONE HER BEST</p>
<p>TO BRING GLORY AND HONOR TO HIM</p>
<p>HER KING HAD RISEN FROM THE GRAVE</p>
<p>AND CARRIED AWAY ALL HER SIN</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF HIM</p>
<p>UPON THE HILLS OF OUR LIFE</p>
<p>WHO BRINGS GOOD NEWS AND CARRIES US</p>
<p>TO THE WAY, THE TRUTH, THE LIFE</p>
