There Is a Season

Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

1.To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time a dance;

5. A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a tie to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing

6. A time to get and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7. A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

He raised the dead! Made the blind to see! Healed the infirmed!

He’s coming to Jerusalem! The masses, their “God” discerned!

In His space a quiet man Who practiced Appreciation!-Love!

My Father’s-will be done…!Begotten-Son sent from above!

Christian-generosity bestowed by Grace of Holy Spirit-dove!

 

Conveyance-donkey lightly-tread upon palm-fronds green!

Triumphant-parade among admirers a Loving-venue scene!

Bow to yon Priest! Applaud! Appreciate! Salvation-serene!

 

A Holy-week Sweet-Jesus preached and often miracle-healed!

Faith grew among the followers as Christian-Love congealed!

Evil-Jealousy surfaced among “elites” malevolence annealed!

 

Transgression-embracing-Temptation the enigmatic contest born!

Ancient paved-wide-way for moderns to be Innocent -sheep shorn!

A Good-vs.-Evil tag-game tallying souls leaves fickle-man forlorn!

 

Jesus winning Redemption-souls in the Salvation-found Celebration!

Jesus’ tally-count defeating evil  faux-try in holy Victory-confirmation!

How(?) to live-show exemplar-Love?---Too-Easy!...Truth-Appreciation!

 

Heaven-Wins! Redemption-taught! Salvation! Soon-to-be blood-bought!

Christian-generosity Innocent-evidenced crystal-reflection Love-sought!

Pray I---Guide me Lord!...In every Word! Deed! And sacred-Thought!

 

Dare! Never underestimate any evil-enemy faux-surrender happenstance!

By hook and crook pure Satin-evil deception garners an unequal-chance!

A devil-spear the Blessed-Jesus Sacred-heart shall be pierced by lance!

 

Late-in-His-teaching-time crystal Good/Evil obfuscated amiss!

Yon coward a-purpose prostituted Truth-in-Faith!-Love! remiss!

Thirty silver-jingles cheap-bought a betrayal-evil ‘friend”-kiss!

 

So sets-the-stage for a mock Jesus’-trial in Lie begin!

In mortal-defeat?---Triumph evil-death!...Spirit-win!

And (simple-humble) I?---Appreciate!...Sacred Whisper-wind!

 Christian-generous emulating Jesus-man! I humble-pray!

Amen!

We Will Be Together Again V

Amazing Grace

John Newton

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me!

 I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see.


"Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

 and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

Jesus Loves Me

Anna Bartlett Warner

Jesus loves me this I know,

For the Bible tells me so;

Little ones to Him belong;

They are weak but He is strong..


Yes, Jesus loves me!

Yes, Jesus loves me!

The Bible tells me so.

We Will Be Together Again III

The Old Rugged Cross

George Bennard

On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

the emblem of suffering and shame;

and I love that old cross where the dearest and best 

for a world of lost sinners was slain

So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,

till my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

and exchange it some day for a crown.

 In the Garden

Charles A Miles

I come to the garden alone,

while the dew is still on the roses,

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The Son of God discloses


And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am  His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there,

None other has ever known.

We Will Be Together Again

I'll fly Away

Albert E. Brumley


Some glad morning, when this life is over

I'll fly away

To that home on God's celestial shore

I'll fly away I'll fly away, oh glory

I'll fly away

When I die, hallelujah, by and by

I'll fly away
