A Father's Love  If God Were Blue  Eve  I'll Be Waiting  Some of the Best A Father's Love by Jay Miller I wish that I could sum it up. I wish that there were words, But there are not words Enough, to describe - A Father's Love. I wish that all could see. I wish that all could know, What I have come to know. For no other thing compares, As this does - A Father's Love. I have swam to the depth's of my soul. I have embraced each sin that man can know. And I have brought disgrace To every decent thing, Until there seemed no hope for me. But still there was one hope for me. That hope of ages. That hope of generations. The hope of everlasting grace, For all willing to embrace, The FATHER's Love. If God Were Blue by Jay Miller O Lord, if you were some foreign shade of blue, Still with all my being and all that I lay claim to, would I love and love and love-you. Sending forth without right and with some terror Through lips unfit to form your holy name, praise unceasing, praise unending, praise To match the Longing of my longing soul, that will not be silenced, will not be Soothed, until it truly knows You, my God, even if your shade be blue. O Lord, if you were some unseemly shade of brown, Unstopping would be the sound of my adoration of You, and all you are until all my Todays and all my tomorrows were gone, and you saw fit to raise me to the wonderful Embrace, for which my soul so longs. O Lord, if you were some unappealing shade of gray, I would not stumble back, like others may, but rush Forward in crazed desire to worship at the feet of He I have no right to see, or touch, Or speak to, so encompassing is my love for you. Who is Lord of all, yet so loving that he himself Him humbled. So those (like me) to retched to embrace might through his Perfect love be saved. O Lord, what color are you, none know, save those who have always known, and those whom you have summoned home. (O, that soon you would summon me and those I love.) Yet Lord of all, as you know though it matter's not at all to me, the color of the sovereign hand that Raised me up so lovingly, it matters much to many. And how much it must sadden you to know, That with all that you have given men, Colors matter still to them. Eve by Cathy Henrie If I had been a mouse... And hidden by a tree,... On that awful day... What would I see.... Would I see Eve... Bowing in prayer,... Wishing the Lord... Would hurry and get there.... Waiting for the evening... To see His face,... Longing to feel... His loving embrace.... God told Adam... Not to eat from the tree,... Down the road... Eve came to be.... She was confused... I wonder why,... She thought if she touched it... She would die.... Did the serpent touch the apple... And then say "see",... "I didn't die"... "Look at me".... Did she want like the Lord... To please Him more?... Did she marvel at His wisdom... And worry that she might be a bore?... Was Adam maybe jealous... Of the Lord Above,... Did he maybe want... All of Eve's love?... She was confused... But Adam knew,... Exactly what... He was about to do.... Was she his guinea pig... To see if she'd die,... And if she lived... He'd give it a try.... God blamed Adam... He doesn't say why,... But He says he's the reason... That man must now die.... They lost their paradise... So precious and dear,... And no more words from Adam... Do we hear.... But God makes a point... Of showing us today,... That Eve continued... To send praise His way.... I'll Be Waiting by Cathy Henrie I made little bees To make honey that's sweet, So that my children Could have a treat. I bent the trees A certain way, Then sent a breeze So they would sway. I made the sand And oceans too, A beautiful rainbow In a sky of blue. The fragrance of a flower I would carefully prepare, And every detail of creation I intended to share. And I pictured you And how you would be, And I made you Just for me. I chose your moment to come And your time to go, I have nourished you Made you blossom and grow. And you did bear fruit That we will share, You have nurtured the blossoms I put in your care. And as you look back Down memory lane, I want you to know Your greatest gain. It's your memories of harder times That you can look back on today, And truly cherish In a special way. Memories of pleasure Memories of strife, Opportunity for Me To work in your life. And the love of your children In a beautiful way, As it blossoms more With each passing day. The love of your family Of each and every friend, That will be with you Til the very end. And when your new life Will finally begin, Those memories and that love Will be deep within. For no thorns or thistles Have hindered the way, My roots have grown deeper With each passing day. And I AM the potter And you are the clay, I have made you perfect, In every way. And what you have reaped You will sow, And you have helped many Hearts to grow. So please don't ever Be afraid to die, You'll never hurt You'll never cry. You'll see this world With all it's strife, But you'll want to go on And live you're life. For the angels will be singing With one accord, And you'll see Me You're Savior and Lord. And you'll be reaching Out to Me, And there'll be so much Love that you'll see. You will feel My presence Gaze at My face, Overflow with My love And be filled with My grace. I will hold you tight We'll walk hand in hand, And My loving kindness Will flow through the land. Heaven is wonderful And you'll want to stay, For you'll be by My side Day after day. So I'll be waiting Until that day, When you see My Glory Coming your way. So please don't ever Be afraid to die, For you will be With God on high. Some of the Best by Cathy Henrie Matthew was a tax collector Hated by most, Yet he was chose as a disciple By the Lord of Host. Zacchaeus cheated Many in his day, But Jesus dined with him When He passed his way. Women were on a level Far below man, Yet inside a woman His life on earth began. And Samaritans Were despised by the Jews, But to a woman Samaritan Jesus gave the Good News. Cheaters, adulteresses Sinful and unclean, These were the people With whom Jesus was seen. Saul persecuted Christians Until that day, Jesus blocked his path Along the way. He touched his heart And Paul came to be, A wonderful example For you and for me. David was a murderer Yet look how he was blessed, God loved him far more Than most of the rest. Moses also Murdered too, Check out Mary Magdalene Me and you. Look at the examples Shown above, No earthly sin Can hinder His love. For He takes earthly sin And throws it aside, He looks deep in the heart To see what's inside. He looks in that place Where no man can go, Where the depth of his love Begins to flow. So when we see someone Who is a sinner by far, Remember this list And where they now are. Remember the sins Listed Above, Remember He Alone Measures their love. And before we hate And judge the rest, Look at those God chose As some of the best.
