Brooks Phrasis -Sweet Flower of Paradise Recited

SWEET FLOWER OF PARADISE Grace ,a very sparkling jewel, a ring of gold,brings day out of night,sweet from bitter ,glory out of shame and turns pebble to pearls,weakness into strength. This sweet flower of paradise dwells in the heart that empties itself of self.Prayer brings forth the sweetest blessing,where God speaks peace and fills with joy.No mercy is too great for Him to give ,no mercy too little for we to crave. Lay hold on mercy for how strong is grace,and how victorious over sin From Thomas Brooks writings in Spurgeon’s Smooth Stones *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase. Listen to me read this phrasis verse of mine on youtube under name ichthychiro
