The River's of Life and poetry collection

O The Rivers of Life are flowing  slowly
Into live giving Seas of Tranquility
Creating gentle waves of Peace
And Harmonies. 

O I can both feel and hear the waves
Gently freely flowing inside my innermost
Mind--listening to the Whispers in the Wind
Echoing in the heaven's above.

As gentle tokens of His Holy's Spirit's
Never ending love for me. While
Calmly filling my heart, my soul,
My spirit with His never ending
Love divine.

Yeah for it is when, His Holy Spirit
Is softly whispering unto me.
He can still the doubts that seem
To both plague my mind all too
Often at unwelcome times. 

This I know most assuredly, that 
Whosoever  the Holy Spirit of
The Lord delivers and sets free
Is truly reborn and freeborn indeed.

Whispers in the Wind

Blowing to and fro into what direction
They may lead us only the Holy Spirit
Can e'er most assuredly know.
The winds blow briskly from the
North unto the South
And the East unto the west.

Whispers in the Wind are gently
Flowing through mine own eyes,
Causing me to both sigh and say
May His Spirit of peace and
Tranquility always abide with me.

Whispers in the Wind are really
Beckoning to my wayward
Troubled and restless soul,
My Yoke is Easy and My
Burden is light. Cause I
Posses His free gift of
Everlasting life.

The Great and the Small

O Salvation comes to all, the great and
the small. Christ, our Savor died for
the rich and the poor.  He is the
guiding light for the black and the
white. He loves the red and the 
yellow too. His promises always
remain faithful and true.

O Rewards come to all, the great
and the small. He promises to 
always to deliver the faithful and
the just who remain loyal and
true. One day we will meet Him
in mid-air.

White robes of righteousness we
will wear. Golden rewards crowns
of glory will adorn our hair.

original version May 20, 1990
written for former Calvary
Baptist Church, Everett
Washington

{As we bow down and cast our crowns
at his feet while worshiping Him.
Lo, His praises we shall sing for
All eternity.  Basking in His Holy
Presence for all of eternity.}

My Redeemer Lives!

He is Victorious over death and
Over the Gave! Be not afraid!
Be not afraid (repeat 1 X)

No more pain! No more
Sorrow! No more Sorrow!
Our tears He'll wash away
Our nights He'll turn to day.

My Redeemer Reigns! My
Reigns! Forever More!

(I used to use more ! than
I currently use.)

The Keys to My Heart's Door.

Lonely and lost I am no more,
For You held the (golden) keys
that opened (wide) my heart's door.
A prisoner of my selfish whims,
You taught me to search my soul
from deep within.

The emptiness (and the loneliness)
that once was there is lost forevermore
for you held (the golden) keys that opened
my heart's door.

**(words enclosed were not included in
the March 02, 1986's original version.)
This was composed when I was a
member of Trinity Lutheran Church,
Everett, Washington.)

Blessed Are Those Whose 
Transgressions are forgiven.

Blessed are the ones whose transgressions
are for-given. For it is good to con-fess our
trans-gressions to the Lord.

Rejoice, Re-joice in the Lord and be glad,
you all of the right-eous. Sing to the Lord
with all our hearts. EXTOL- the Lord at
all times.

Praise to Him will be on our lips.
Seek the Lord and He will answer
all who cal upon His right-eous' name.

For the eyes of the eyes of the Lord are
on the right-eous and with His own ears,
He hears our  (cries) to Him. 

There is no condemnation for sins for
all who take refuge in Him.

I capitalize all of the third person's
personal pronouns referring to Jesus,
and the Holy Spirit in my submissions.
But I didn't usually in the original version.

Love in Christ Jesus,
