Let the islands rejoice,
Let the fields prosper,
Their voices rising like waves,
Their harvests singing in the wind.
Taste and see -
The Lord is good.
He is the Bread of heaven,
Breaking open fresh revelation,
Feeding our souls with light.
Do not stand aside,
Do not watch in silence.
There is something in you,
A spark only you can release,
To stir the atmosphere.
Praises are keys,
They turn the locks,
They open the future doors.
Every rotation of generations
Brings new cycles of favour.
So find joy in every crisis,
Lift your songs of praise every day.
Press in, know who you are
Gain access, knowing whom you serve
And wear favour, for He is your King!
cool crisp refreshing
waters of Guyana
rejuvenating ambiance
plunging into her depths
I feel reborn and alive
secrets of the ancients
held in place by these waters
I feel my ancestry
in my bones and wet hair
Feeling cherished and beloved
I do not want to emerge
this cocoon of life uplifts me
I want to rejoice and celebrate
the waters of Guyana
We honor thee, oh Christ!
The sacrifice that You made,
The suffering You endured;
Stigmata signifying profound faith --
The Cross that checked the body
But not the Son’s Spirit~ man’s
Cruelty on full display; the
Crown of thorns, the drip the
Splatter – earth thus saturated~
Redeeming Blood of its Creator.
Drink of the Goblet...rise through the
Radiant Portals of His Temple
Illumined where lifted, to Divine Presence
And Soul Purification – All is
Thine; and we serve openly for love
And not lowly fear --
Pure Love has one Name!
Christ Brother and Savior. Surely Pure
Heart has one Divine Manifest, the
Son of God on his Beneficent Throne
Eternal – we witness in physical form
Trinity realignment with humanity and
Source transfiguring. Son of Man! God the Father!
Holy Spirit Righteous Blessing! Happy Easter.
The best answer to any question

I feel the heaviness of winter is over,
snow and cold be gone until next year.
I feel Spring is here,
here in all her warming glory.
The birds are singing their little hearts out,
I am singing with them.
I feel the pretty flowers fragrance in the air,
coming from their many pretty colors.
I feel softness on my skin,
as I watch the baby bunnies scamper.
I feel lite as the cool air,
Easter is on the way.
I feel I need to rejoice,
it is a magical time of the year.
Thank you, LORD, for this new day
I say to you, now as I pray
In your Word it does say
Meditate on it all the day
I meditate now as I relay
To those reading this today
Hoping they will ponder and weigh
That Jesus is King, the only way
My soul bids me here to stay
Writing words to portray
The wisdom and knowledge of His way
Never, no, never, should we betray
His voice sometimes I hear Him say
“Yes, I rejoice over you today
Singing gladly as you obey
My will delivered in glorious array
My children I come without delay
I bring my love, a colorful display
Smell the aroma from the delightful bouquet
And cherish it as it wisps away
My creation sings like the bluejay
That wistfully perches below the archway
It dares not wander nor go astray
As it sings to me, on my Birthday
Happy Birthday Jesus, I fly away

I rejoice where peace is sacred to tease;
Where people draw lots to prove I'm insane...
To beat countless weep into sleep at ease
Without mastery of such acts deep down brain.
I rejoice nonstop...
Praise wriggles every sweat's drop
Till my voice can't pop.
I rejoice where reasoning is far a cure;
Where insanity peeps gut to be gone...
To keep off every thought which seems obscure,
Contemplating of how easier than done.
I rejoice undone...
Praise hails Almighty off fun,
Till my thoughts be gone.
I wish Wems a good day for this new age,
With pleasure well placed out of clock's hands rage...
Counting down seconds each time,
Cum minutes-hours till prime
Dates months of seasons in-out of life's gauge.
Be happy my good friends,
How time of season comes;
Past years- how each blends-
Today's wishes... for joy drums...
One life,one choice
No regrets, just rejoice.
The dreams and smiles
Follow endless miles...
The promise of love,the vow of togetherness,
The sacrifices and the forgiveness...
In this life and then after
To be together, should only matter.
The moments and memories that I treasure
Is there a way to measure?
A promise that is eternal and heavenly
A feeling that is wonderful and lively...
A mystery untold
A secret,wise and bold...
The secret,he who understand
Will know the pain one has,all the storms, withstand.
A feeling so deep,year after year
Will shout louder,without fear.
The silent cries,the invisible tears,
A secret so precious, in heart one bears.
The broken desire, the burning soul
Has the will,to reach the goal.
He who knows the vows and Virtue
Will know the feelings,real and true...
A promise buried in the heart and sealed
Will it ever be revealed?
Done,
dear it is done
You gave it all, now
allow ‘what's been’ to be gone
Done,
dear it is done
The battle is over,
invite change to come
Step into silence
a moment or two,
breathe in and feel
how it shows your true you
Done,
dear it is done
Everything may be altered,
permit change to come
Silence makes audible
the voice of your heart,
filled with heavenly peace,
inner strength and pure love
It ends
What has been, ends
Your world opens up
Now open up to new plans
Step into silence
a moment or two,
breathe in and feel
how it shows your true you
Silence makes audible
the voice of your heart,
filled with heavenly peace,
inner strength and pure love
And time,
time is at your side
The past and the future,
in the middle you reside
Done,
dear it is done
the whole world lies open,
rejoice about what's to come
Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking life's long and winding road,
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with truth's seed,
I will find where pain does recede.
Jesus has risen,
Rejoice, He told us He would,
Promised, just did it!
Most cherished of thoughts, ideas abloom,
spreading, expanding
Overcoming harsh crushing repression,
breaking loose into a fluffy
sacred cloud bound emancipation
Liberation! My spirit takes flight, light,
mellow, blithe and callow
No longer crushed prostrate
'neath the crushing tyranny of the basis gossip
I inhale an atmosphere crisp and fresh,
bounding upward, deep into the wide blue yonder
Grace most astounding ecstatic!
Voices mocking, condemning now stilled-upward
I soar toward a far more welcoming place than
I have ever known
Rejoice!
The new year is here!
A year the lord has made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it
And look forward to fulfillment of His promises
Thank you Lord
For a new beginning
Thank you Lord
For the grace that helped to overcome
The turmoil and turbulence of the year gone by
Lead us every inch of the way
To a successful and prosperous new year
Lord let the new year be good!
FARTHER FATHER WE REJOICE IN YOUR PROVISION-
Farther, yet infinitely ever close to me;
Shall I be the fore bearer of the protected?
Embraceable, not be replaceable
Finally farther father we rejoice in your provision
A chance to gift, up lift
Father I my soul and I
Reach out from within, as you are
Finally farther father we rejoice in your provision
Praise be to the glory, your glory Hallelujah
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©

gladness… rejoicing
at four hostages rescue…
… lead rescuer’s dead
