It Is Not Night

Vast oceans of light                                                                     
In the night flowing over us through you and me cant you see                          
Now there it is again light light love so faithful                                   
Ever seeing clearer there is again light light light treasures so unmeasurable in 
such a 
Small weak vessel there is again light light light light                               
Oh ignites a fire consuming all                                                       
There yet nothing lost light light light light light                                 
Rising brighter than yesterday will ever be light light light light light light     
Under his guiding care                                                        
Everlasting so good there is again light light light light light light light resting in 
HIS LOVE

Jesus Evidence of Things Not Seen

BY faith we can kiss the feet that wore the shoes                                    
That the latchets we are unworthy to loose                                           
Leave are burdens with thanksgiving sweetly cry                                        
By faith we can reach up to the nailed scarred hands                                 
That led the blind man out of town in the way                                        
Keep looking up to the eyes that wipe away all tears                                   
By faith can lean upon Jesus' bosom                                                  
With listening ears hearing the heart beat of God                                        
Whispering saying that love shall never die                                            
By faith receiving his love with and without fears                                     
It is written love him he will led you in the most excellent way                   
Living to die dying to live it is by his strength we stand                             
By faith as Jesus once again heals the blind man looking at his face                  
The blind man looking around saw every man clearly                                   
Love is of God we must not from their lovely faces hide                                
By faith the brother we have seen on the street lying or stumbling by                
Love our brothers we have seen dearly                                                 
The knowledge of the saving grace for whom our saviour died                             
By faith and grace of our Lord Jesus in morrows by and by                              
Be that pure and perfect bride                                                        
Who is my mother,or brethren?",Jesus said we can by faith

Please Read the Instructions

Is it a poem not just a rhyme maybe a riddle  	                                   
though it keeps time could be something in the middle			             
not  fairy tale or fable could it be a paradox not 				        
is it psalm or love song paradisiacal parable                                         
Not to believe it maybe a panoramic mistake of eternal consequences                   
Its been called a lot of things most bought less read most misunderstood 
I am not a literary giant by no means but its dear to me nor am I self-reliant  
Just a man with a dictionary nor was i a visionary                                      
I who was dead and now I am a live 	                                          
thought I was living once surviving but I was only lying 	                        
Sea I had an enormous vacuum in my heart nothing could  fill	                       
No pleasure of this world did. not sex,drugs or rock-and-roll pill		    
Using bigger words than I intended in hope too keep your attention                   
This is no new invention or curious art this is just another chance to testify         
To tell you the truth and it’s simple of the Living Word of God the Loving Saviour     
Of the world the Lord Jesus that lives in me and I in him and is all reliable     
Believe only repent and believe the gospel repent of you sins ask Jesus into your heart 
God’s love letter to you the scriptures testify of him his loving favor                
So do I  READ the Holy Bible

when everything is hurry                                                            
never worry just pray                                                                    
God is Good                                                                              
think it not odd said he would                                                       
when night comes he is there                                                             
so lay down in the safety of his care                                                    
when you are weak he is the day
