Bestow
Unto you is given holy light,
That you may choose the highest right.
All treasures have I to give,
To unify, edify, lift and live.
To grow, gain, build, and rise,
I give you gifts of the highest price,
That you may always have gifts to share,
To bestow on all in fervent prayer.
I give you peace to show the world,
The truth,

Beautiful Scars Bestow Ivory Grace
Due to an injury, love's scars can be seen.
In matters of love scars fade like a dream
Scars of beauty they are declared.
Some refer to as ugly because they're scared.
Love leaves scars which most do possess.
Bestow scars of ivory to grace toughs who've conquest

Beautiful Scars Bestow Ivory Grace
It’s not just Jesus who rose into grace with scars from nails and the cross
Trees grow new branches from knots like wounded soul’s blemish’s scars
A rainforest’s undergrowth thrives in the mist of weeping from heaven
Ebony needs ivory for harmony preferably with tusks attached to the rhino
An elephant under cover of the hat inside a boa

Love More Precious Than Gold
Love more precious than gold
All the memories it unfolds
Planting seeds that blossom ten-fold
Allowing us to fit into life's mold
Lasting through the ages never growing old
Creating this amazing flow
Of our love that only God can bestow
That heats up with the right kind of flavor
Cutting through life like a sharp saber
With the bond that allows us to

My Hero That Takes My Heart From Ground Zero
My life is at a standstill
Spent most of it getting my fill
In relationships that just didn't cut the deal
Letting go of the way past memories make me feel
Run over like a loose wheel
How being alone makes your heart feel the ice cold chill
When none of it feels like it was real
Then we reach for the

Bestow On My Lover
Let my beloved be
With her tender passion that dances to her heartbeats
As her beauty sings to her heartbeats
And with longing thirst of love for me to see
Let my beloved continue to live
With her glowing skin and dazzling eyes that illuminate pitch black rooms
And her beauty that makes flowers grieve
Allow the nights to bestow on her,

Bestow a Break
Bestow A Break
Anything will happen when we want it to
Should pray to God so it can come true
And wish will appear before each eye
As your happy tears did start to dry.
How rewarding has been my happiness
And none of it hope I ever will miss
Not for one second or a single speck
Of dust God allowed me

Rain Falls To Bestow a New Spirit
They say rain brings sorrow and pain
They say it comes to make you wail
I oppose, I've seen those drops falling down on my window glass
Every drop that plunges on the casement brings shaft of light in my eyes
Every dewdrop that falls down on my face invigorate my heart
I've seen that little seed budding faster than

Bestow
no good deed goes unpunished
no bad deed unrewarded
just deciding which is what
the altruistic and the sordid
depends upon the angle of view
what an act is deemed to better
and who it might be bettered to
gain advantage, and who's the debtor
gray is life's chromatic scale
certainty colored by present perception
think our discernment to no avail
that may be our own

Peace Bestow
Just make this day, LORD
And let it be
A little love
And a closer walk with thee
Just make us PEACE
And let it flow
Into our hearts
And let us know
Just send us GRACE
And let it dwell
Into our souls
So others can tell
Just give us LOVE
And Bestow
On us and others

Bestow To Me These Things
Take a walk with me
into the forest at twilight
Drape your arm around
my withering shoulders
and guide us down the path
to meet our gray tomorrows
Warm my cool thin lips
with kisses from our youth
and let me gaze into
the blue hot embers that
made my body burn
throughout our yesteryears
Protect me from
the frightening things
I somehow don’t recall
Guard the night steadfastly
so
