Moon Song

Oh, ancient orb of mystery
above the earth so high
hung in your velvet gallery
you grace the nighttime sky.

The stars in heaven bow to you
in chorus, quivering
their voices joining clear and true
to you, their praises sing.

My weary heart, it beats along
with their joyous tune
to sing its own sweet, praise filled song
to you, oh wondrous moon!

Oh, ancient orb of mystery
above the the earth so high
a blessing for the world to see
treasure in the nighttime sky.

Ahh, You gave to me my own prophecy!!! Acts 2:17-21....How did You know? Hmm, I have been somewhat astray from it as of late....playing the Jonah in the belly of the whale role~yet knowing deep inside all along, that "God" has everyting in His hands; and that, it but merely a matter of time~before He start moving my spirit via the undenying Holy Spirit, to begin once again to fulfill His will for my purpose, of ever being born!!! The call it "Faith" dear!!!...cont....
