The Lord of All Living

You are the Lord of all living,
the  bright and Morning star.
Through the cross You’re still forgiving
Those who seek both near and far.

The Lilly of the Valley,
The One and only Way,
The sacrificial Lamb of God,
Our Salvation from day to day.

You are ever the great I am,
Breaking Hell’s chains that lock.
You are the Living Water,
The Deliverer of your Flock.

Risen Redeemer of our lives,
Still saving from darkest night.
He who was and is and is to come,
The Way, the Truth and the Light.

The lily of the valley is mentioned in the Song of Solomon in the Bible, too. Legend tells that Mary's tears turned to the lily of the valley when she cried at the cross. This is the reason for the third alternate name, "Mary's tears." Very interestin biblical refferance..THANK YOU! Light & Love

A true glorification..meter..meter ;) just a note / Lucifer is a Latin word, literally meaning "light-bearer", that was used as a name for the "day star" or "Morning Star" that precedes the rising of the sun. Because of the belief in the healing powers of this plant, it is often known as the "ladder to heaven" or "Jacob's tears." Also, it is considered a sign of Christ's second coming. Light & Love
