Angel Mercies
Above Gods World united
The heavenly hosts are watching
Great wings enfolding
Swords of pierced light..
Above poised and watching
Angelic swords are burnished
Stayed by Gods grace and mercy
Upon a blighted land...
Angel wing unfolding
Gods tears of mercy falling
Grace and love desending
Upon a hurting Land.....
Prayers as prisms assending
Angelic hosts desending
In translucent light
Claiming powerful victories
Upon a repentant land....
' and then I saw another mighty angel coming..
he was robed in a cloud with a rainbow above
his head, his face was like the sun and his legs
were like fiery pillars.'
Revelation 10 v 1-3.
In times of trial
Andrew Murray:
In time of trouble say,
First, he brought me here. It is by his will I
am in this place, in that I will rest.
Next, he will keep me in his love and give me grace
in this trial to behave as his child.
Then, he will make the trial a blessing, teaching
me the lessons he means me to learn, and working
in me the grace he intends for me.
Last, in his good time, he can bring me out again,
how and when he only knows.
Say, I am here:
By God's appointment,
In Gods keeping,
Under his training,
For his time.
AMEN

For Eternity
How I long for the day when this world shall see
Mercy Truth and Justice sent from God above
For he knows the way that are steps have trod
He sends a lamp to guide us, to send us on our way...
To a new tommorrow and beautiful today....
Steps that we are taking shall in time be weighed..
By Truth and Justice for all Eternity......
Angel Tears...
Sometimes I think the rain from Heaven...
are as Angel tears... weeping for Gods mercy
upon this land of ours....
Sometimes we are helpless in our search
for LOVE but we know Gods mercy shines
down from above......
