my favourite things/ forever and for always

my favourite things/ His wind

His wind blows where He wills

I stand alone
catching God
my arms flung wide
my  heart open like a book
prologue written
epilogue
only He knows

and I read...

His Word is stretched across each page
a friend to me
along my way

fear not
I am with you always

cast your cares upon Me
for I care for you

delight yourself also in Me
and I will give you the desires of your heart

You believe in God
believe also in ME (Jesus, sweet Jesus)

just faith as a mustard seed

honour your Father and Mother
that it may be well with you

rejoice always

in everything give thanks

my Grace is sufficient for you

I read on
and on
comforted
strengthened
encouraged

desiring nothing more than to be like Him

my pages are filled with Him
He is all I see

in Him is Life
and that
abundantly

Prologue

He keeps His own
under the shadow of His wing

safe

my life
His wind
His word
His book

my favourite things/everything all glory grace

She will be passing by this way "no more"
she has her wings
she's taken flight
by Jesus' side
she now abides
and sees Him face to face
everything
just glory
grace

with heaven eyes
all glory
grace

I hear
just like her dad
she's colour blind
not a soul she didn't love

and just like at the tomb
how Jesus wept
dear Granny's heart wept too
for almost everyone
yes! me 'and' you

her greatest game was giving thanks
being help
having fun
holding babies
making quilts
folding towels
eating
cinnamon buns
ice cream

popcorn made her smile

she could recite most anything
old school training
left its trace

she loved old hymns
knew every word

Psalm 23
was
her
great
peace

And now she's traveled  o'er the veil
and waits for us
with eager heart
to share
all glory there

everything
all glory
grace
