"Praise"

 

             "Praise"

 

Hold my heart and my soul,

For only You can make them whole.

Forgive my youthful dumb mistakes,

That only human fools can make.

 

Take me to that land of flowers,

To hear praise songs and sing for hours.

Let me touch...those nail pierced hands,

Given to You...by Your father's Own command.

 

Let me feel...Your warm embrace;

Then show me your Father's face.

Let me know and finally understand,

Why "HELL" ever was...a choice for man!

 

Explain to me...so I might know,

Why some did come and some did go?

And then erase all thoughts of pain,

So up in Heaven with You..I am lain.

 

Out in a beautiful colored field...

Strewn with every kind of flower. 

Singing songs filled with praise ...

To You my Lord...for hours and hours.

/"Praise"/
Valentine,
Our God loves us so much! Your words show how we are designed:
"Hold my heart and my soul,
for only you can make me whole.
Forgive my youthful dumb mistakes
That only human fools can make."
This first stanza covers such a wide field of human behavior and brokenness.
Praise is the privilege of those who call on the name of the Lord and seek forgiveness, cleansing; His life for ours:
"Take me to that land of flowers
to hear praise songs and sing for hours
Let me touch... those nail pierced hands,
Given to you... by your Father's own command."
Again I see the great love which emanates from Jesus Christ as God. A just God. A good God.
Evil, sin, wickedness: Unrighteousness. There is a way out. Jesus Blood.
Thank you for a really wonderful testimony and call to praise.

"Out in a beautiful colored field...
Strewn with every kind of flower.
Singing songs filled with praise ...
To You my Lord...for hours and hours."
