A cup runneth over surely prevails
Above dining table midst angst of dearth
Oh, bountiful supply that never fails
Since God pours always blessings with grace-worth.
Evidence of miracles’ prevalence
A cup runneth over surely prevails
Smiting unbelief of great turbulence
For the Lord grants gracious provision-pails.
Against scarcity that grievously ails
Afflicting giving and sharing gladness
A cup runneth over surely prevails
While the Almighty proves His faithfulness.
Trusting the Creator, wondrous life Source
My heart thanks Him, and His compassion hails
As He fills me to say along hard course…
“A cup runneth over* surely prevails.”
*Psalm 23:6 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Autumn exudes divine Artist’s glow
Nature shows midst radiant bliss
Red leaves blend with gold heaps below
Grand iridescence sight can’t miss.
As hues change, distinct in each strand
Autumn exudes divine Artist’s glow
Orange foliage sheds green brand
Swaying lively in lovely blow.
Blest to expose much blessings flow
Marked well by colorful harvest
Autumn exudes divine Artist’s glow
Exalting* God’s perfection best.
Possessing awesome beauty’s worth
Smiting woe with cheer to bestow
As marvelous season on earth
Autumn exudes divine Artist’s glow.
*Psalm 57:5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens;
let thy glory be above all the earth.

In God’s presence* is great delight
that glows midst blissful prayer plight…
exposed to His abounding grace
my faith soars for ministry flight.

in my journey for promised land
steadfast along praise-filled worship
to share His gift, sublimely grand.

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.” Isaiah 6:10 of the King James Bible
Joyful life, that’s my set goal
While fulfilling granted role
Thus, to joy-Source I do cleave
Perfect will I must not leave.
Joy of God brings peace delight
Whenever in prayer flight
Cheering me midst hardship’s pain
For joyful calmness to reign.
Joy from the Lord gladdens heart
Securing me from guilt’s dart
To vanquish grievous sorrow
Toward joyful tomorrow.

Smiting threats of despair scope

With joyful revival zest.
Joy in the Saviour prevails
Since His kindness never fails
Marked by grand redemption seal

To share triumphant uplift
Offered for all, indeed free
Marked by joyful goodness spree.
