ANGEL WHISPERS

May you hear your angel's voice in the winds
Telling you that all is as it should be.
And all the strength and wisdom you need
Is just a whispered prayer away.

JUST BELIEVE
~
No greater glory can there be
than when Jesus Christ has set you free.
Give your heart to Him today,
let your sins be washed away.
Give your life to God above,
feel His peace, know His love.
Just believe His word is true,
the Lord awaits, it's up to you...

HARD QUESTIONS
~
Your Word is true, Your message clear,
do I believe the truth I hear?
~
For love, You freely gave Your life,
will I also pay that price?
~
Your precious blood removes my sin,
have I dragged You through the mud again?
~
You gave Your love for me to share,
when You need me am I there?
~
I vowed to come each time You call,
do I shun the world and give You all?
~
I vowed to give You all my heart,
have I held back a hidden part?
~
You call on me to help the poor,
do I seek my own and ask for more?
~
You say to walk by faith not sight,
am I walking in Your light?
~
I seek Your will each time I pray,
are my desires in the way?
~
You bless me in Your precious name,
do my actions bring You shame?
~
Lord Your Spirit cleanses me,
am I as pure as I should be?
~
My life is put into Your trust,
will I change? I know I must...

SAVED

I lived a life so full of sin,
my heart was hard,
my faith was thin.
I wondered what I had to gain,
the path I chose was filled with pain.
There truly must be more to life
than troubles, hardships, pain, and strife.
Life's problems had been blinding me
from our Lord's love that sets us free.
Thankfully I felt His love,
so sweet and pure from up above.
I knew that on that fateful day
the Lord above would light my way.
I knew I could not afford
to live my life without the Lord.
My heart was softened by His power
my faith grows stronger by the hour.
When I'm in my time of need,
God's Word is there for me to read.
His healing words will soothe my soul
so I may never lose control.
When I'm down on bended knee,
as I pray, He comforts me.
God gave us His Son so we may live,
no greater gift was there to give.
The Word of God is clear and true,
answer His call, when He calls you...

THE DREAM

The angels wings
Are fluttering
Wafting airs so sweet
Warming gently
Whispered breaths
Their wings
Do softly beat
Tapping gently
On the window
Of dreams, of sleep, of night
Chasing away ev'ry speck
That brings not
A ray of light.
Sweet perfume
Embraces slumber
Flies me
Weightlessly to dreams
Where joy and peace
There they wait
Deep in
The forest green.
Their golden light
Draws me near
To a glory
Yet unknown
My Precious Savior
Awaits me here
Smiling
From the throne.
The Lamb's Book
Beside Him rests
On laurels
Of glassy gold.
And wondrous stories
Rest on His lips
Trembling
To be told.
Oh what joy
I cannot bear!
My breath
I seem to hold.
But morning light
Awakens me,
A dream,
Of Heaven Foretold.

Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
One day he asked God,"they tell me you are sending me to earth tomarrow,but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God answered,"Among the many angels, I choose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
"But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you everyday. You will feel your angel's love and be happy."
"How am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that man talk?"
"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
" Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
" I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?"
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
"Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child, in a hurry, asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"Your angels name is of no importance.
You will call your angel. Mommy."

ANGELS, ANGELS EVERYWHERE
OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE:
THE OLD MAN WITH THE GRAYING HAIR
COULD AN ANGEL BE.

ACHING TO SEE YOU PART
WITH MOMENT OF YOUR TIME,
TO LISTEN WITH A CARING EAR.
HOW MANY SECONDS CAN YOu FIND?

IF THAT WERE JESUS SITTING THERE
WOULD IT MATTER MORE?
WOULD YOUR HEAD BE IN YOUR HANDS,
YOUR KNEES UPON THE FLOOR?

MY FRIEND, IT MIGHT BE JESUS
OR AN ANGEL HE HAS SENT
TO COME AND LISTEN TO YOUR HEART.
WAS HIS TIME WELL SPENT?

--Lori Herridge

YOU MUST BE QUITE AN ANGEL

You must be quite an angel
With children all around you
Heavenly laughter, it was born
When The Father found you.

You must be quite an angel
As your sweetness fills the air
Blooms abound upon the trees
Whose branches once were bare.

You must be quite an angel
For Peace was born with you
And never came a raging sea
When the wind, your breath it blew.

You must be quite an angel
For your warmth exuded so
Your footsteps warmed the frozen ground
And flowers there did grow.
You must be quite an angel
For kindness was your seed
And never in your garden
Did The Father find one weed.

You must be quite an angel
As your presence fills the air
Your single drop of blessedness
Joyfully will I wear.

WORKING ANGEL

Last night I had a dream;
It had a tale to tell.
I dreamed I saw an angel;
Poor thing, he wasn't feeling well.
His body brusied and battered
His wings were ripped and torn--
This angel could hardly walk,
He looked so tired and worn.
I walked right up to him to ask;
Angel? How can this be?
He turned around and paused - a bit,
Then he spoke these words to me:

"I'm your Guardian Angel,
A great task as you can see.
You've run amock most all your life:
Look what it's done to me.
These bruises are from shielding you
In times both dire and ill.
Those alcoholic bouts and drugs you've used
I've often paid the bill
You see my wings are ripped and torn;
A noble badge I wear;
How often they have flown you
From evils unaware.
Each mark is it's own story
Of deadly wounds destroyed.
You made me wish--more than once-
That I was unemployed.
If only you could make it
Standing on your own;
Oh, don't you fret or worry--
But please try to remember--
I'm getting old and frail.

I could not believe all I had heard,
Let alone how much he cared.
I wept upon his shoulder,
Then left him in despair.
The next day I sat and pondered:
Should I really try?
And in the distance I thought I heard;
A frail old angel cry.

WHEN I SAY: 'I AM A CHRISTIAN'

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I'm not shouting "I am saved."
I'm whispering "I get lost"
That is why I chose this way.

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble
and need Someone to be my guide.

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I am weak
and pray for strength to carry on.

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed
and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I'm not claiming to be perfect.
My flaws are too visible
but God believes I'm worth it.

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches,
which is why I seek HIS name.

When I say . . . I am a Christian
I do not wish to judge.
I have no authority;
I only know I'm loved.
