The Lord Hath Spoken

The Lord Hath Spoken

The sun is shining, like satin lining;

 Across the wet branches of the trees.

The birds have been singing songs all day long.

Spring has come forth - flourishing with glee.

God has given us joy and life in Him;

Just as a new  spring morning  happens.

Just as a new beginning gives hope;

Jesus revives willing hearts again.

The chill of winter has passed at last;

We see the light through the open clouds.

Nature has sprung up with encouragement;

A reminder which speaks of God so loud.

His goodness and His love in creation;

His salvation, His forgiveness.

His joy, His light, the life He's given us.

Redemption from wintry bitterness.

Oh  joy, the Lord hath spoken through nature;

In ev'ry  flower that arises.

In ev'ry tree that brings forth new blossoms.

Each springtime brings us new surprises.

As we feel the presence of our God's love;

Oh Let us praise Him, Let us praise Him.

Let us recognize Him, give Him glory;

For springtime is a blessing from Him.

 Psalms 96:12
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
 Psalms 111:4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.
 Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

For Easter

For Easter

 I'd like to give you special things at Easter; 

Not colored eggs or bunnies, if you please. 

I'd like to give you brand new hope and sunshine, 

And even deeper faith to bend your knees.

I'd like to catch your hand in dewy sunrise, 

Run that mile and view that empty tomb; 

Maybe, sing the alleluia chorus ~ 

Weep for joy and dance away the gloom.

Could we just sit silent, watching all the traffic 

Coming in, to find the grave clothes there; 

Like an empty shell, cocoon all dry and vacant, 

While the Spirit soars magnificently through air?

We would sure rejoice that our precious Lord had risen. 

But, we'd have to go ~ to shout it to the world 

And we couldn't wait so long; the fire within us 

Would consume us if we didn't share this pearl.

So, may I paint word pictures of Him risen? 

Imagine all the tears of joy we'd share 

And recall, to you, the greatest of all victories 

Is in this early morning's dewy air.

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: 

Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: 

he is risen; he is not here: behold the 

place where they laid him.

Easter Is.....

Easter Is...

By: Susan Y. Nikitenko

More than just bunnies and Easter eggs;

More than the flowers of spring.

More than our gathering families;

More than the cheer that it brings.

Jesus arose victorious;

Over sin, hell and the grave.

He opened the door of life to all;

And longs for all to be saved.

Tulips and daffodils stand bright;

The birds build nests while they sing.

Children laughing with lighted smiles;

All these, are gifts from our King.

But Easter is a new beginning;

New hope for a hungry soul.

It stands for something amazing;

A broken life can be made whole.

\

John 6:35

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life:

he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
