Everlasting Love

What will you say
Once I see you face to face
Longing to know what of your love for me
Your love for me that never ends
How is it that I am on your mind
Even before I was born
Longing for the day to fall into your embrace
I need your love 
And to know that you are with me
More know then ever
Having a birds eye view
You have known me
Feeling that you are no longer with me
How is it that you knew that one day
That I would be a woman
Called by name
To become one who loves
Yet, fears to become an outcast
Felling that all has been worked for
Will all be lost
For the world to come crashing down
Your love is everlasting
You came down from glory
To show your endless love
Which you have longed to give 
Yet to often turned away from
Not wanting to give up my ways
For yours
Everlasting are you to love 
When it is not given in return
How is it that this everlasting love still is given
That so willing to give up Heaven
Showing us an everlasting love
That heaven could not hold it any longer

The Divine Mercy Prayer in a Song


I have found that praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet has given much comfort to me over the past week or so. Even when tears don't always come.

Do not.......


Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am the diamond glints in the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quite birds in circlrs flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

One Day


Better is one day in you courts
I will sit at the door
Being a gate keeper
Just to be close to you
To hear your voice
Calling out to me by name
Touch the deepest hurts of my
soul
Hearing the still small voice
Calling out to me
To let go
And give to you
The heartache and fears
That it is not mine to hold
You call to my soul
To let your love wash over me
Your healing power
Forgiveness of our transgrations
Better is one day
Then a thousand any were else

Calling


Be near to me and I to you
You are mine
I have called you by name to
come
I know the day and hour of your
coming and going
This heartache of this moment
All of it known
Every tear that falls
I am there with breaking heart
and tears falling
My daughter beloved child
Look upon my Son
The price has been payed
No greater love
Have you bor heard my calling to
you to come
Lay down your broken heart
Your way not lost
Wondering and lonely
So, far away from your love
From your loving embrace
Can it be that I was running
From the One calling
As I sit in stillness of night
Given such great blessings
The tears seen
Understanding
Love and mercy

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is doubt, faith; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning thay we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Never Been Unloved

A few days ago this song came on the radio at a time when I was feeling quite down and unlovable. So, many times over the past few weeks I have need to hear this song. As one of the line loosely say, "I have been undesirable but never unlovable." Even at my worst times I am loved.
