I hear the words of love
every letter touches your heart
flowing smoothly ever so nicely
giving you a brand-new start
I gaze upon the blood
for Jesus shed this for me
bringing my salvation to light
by dying on Calvary's tree
I see the mighty sacrifice
Jesus on that cross of wood
taking all our sins upon Him
our Lord died to make us good
And I have peace with God
this is glory felt upon my soul
knowing my sins are forgiven
feel God's peace, your lifelong goal
I have been given God's love
eternally sought me to the end
chosen before the earth began
this Christ my real true friend
(I hear the words of love,
I gaze upon the blood,
I see the mighty sacrifice,
And I have peace with God.)
Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)
(This piece I've written is from the opening verse of the famous hymn by Horatius Bonar ' I hear the words of love'. This hymn is based on the joy and assurance of salvation. Trust it will bless many with the same joy and assurance.)

I've lived in my land all of my life
travelled in many other lands on holiday
but always to return to what I call home
cause it's special always come what may
The weather is well documented as dull
but has its bright spells not often as it should
when the sun comes out it's so colourful
brightens up your day get you in right mood
Raised up many a famous poetic pen
Burns, Scott and Bonar to name a few
makes one seek to be inspired by them
hold your pen up to wait in the queue
The scenery of the highlands and lowlands
will take your breath away so very grand
the majesty of the wonder of its creator
shows the finger of a divine hand
So many grand castles and mountains
really there's so very much to tell
but really you should really come yourself
to see it in its glory to watch it all gel!
