This is the lyrics to a song by The Emotions... (I know-- REAL OLD School stuff 1977) But, the words are real and true!



Titled "Blessed"



Do you ever take the time to concentrate your mind and listen--

Dancing to the music of your inner soul

Marvel at the beauty that nature holds

Spread your wings to freedom erasing from your mind

All the doubt you see

Soaring like an eagle to your victory.

Your loving heart will guide you-- Blessed.



Glorify your love

Place it far above all other

Waken to the power of your mothers' love and precious memories.

Gather little children

Pull your face in view to the rising sun.

Flame of love is a gift to you

Burnin' to the beat of your soul.

Lovely, Grace!



I like "One Thing I know" by Selah and "Untitled Hymn" by Chris Rice.



Oh, and also the "Pavanne" by Faure, but the words are in French and I haven't found a translation. The music is sufficient, and then some.

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow (Ira F. Stanhill) [a Hymn]



I don't know about tomorrow, I just live from day to day

I don't borrow from its sunshine. For its skies may turn to gray

I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said,

And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead.



Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow, And I know who holds my hand.



Every step is getting brighter, As the golden stairs I climb;

Every burdens getting lighter; Every cloud is sliver lined.

There the sun is always shining,There no tear will dim the eye,

At the ending of the rainbow, Where the mountains touch the sky.



Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow, And I know who holds my hand.



I don't know about tomorrow, It may bring me poverty;

But the one who feeds the sparrow, Is the one who stands by me.

And the path that be my portion, May be through the flame or flood,

But His presence goes before me, And I'm covered with His blood.



Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand

But I know who holds tomorrow, And I know who holds my hand.



Beautiful! :angel: ~ GraceMae

Grace, my dear sister... thank you so much for that poem, the last one. I will keep it.

As.... "Many things about tomorrow, I don't seem to understand" ... Now, I want to thank you today for your presence in my life...

Remember when we quote Ecclesiastes?... Everything has its own time...

I was told to show myself in the way I was not doing it [not only physically, but spiritually too] it was the time and I did it, and I am sure about what I have heard...

He just called me out to show me something I needed to know... now I know it...

There are not few storms I have faced and with His help I could survived, but there are others that only Him can face for me and I just need to be still.

Grace, Fidelity is always or is not... we have to keep it intact, before, then, and after... Keep being faithful to the man God has chosen you for...

I am returning to the place [spiritually speaking] God has disposed for me once again, for a while, just for a while... to pray and keep that fidelity... until I will be called again...

My pleasure will be keep studying His word alone and with those He has allows me to. I will keep tracking these postings too. Thank you, thank you, thank you...

He is holding my hand...



I have not translated yet, but as this posting is for poetry and songs I will post at least one of the verses I wrote for my son in one of my poems for him. It is for all of us too.



"En el tiempo que tienes para estar en el mundo

Vive siempre en amor y s� fiel a tus pactos,

Edifica tu vida sobre eternos principios

Y el deseo no sea director de tus actos."



"In the time you have to be in the world

Live always in love and be faithful to your covenants,

Build your life on eternal principles

The desire not be director of your actions. "



///

Here is the song I told you about in other posting, it was the first one:

You are with me, Jehovah, all the time.

You are with me on the way and at the sea.

You hold me during the confusion or the light.

And forever you will fill me with your love.



You are with me, Father of the Universe

From the beginning until the eternity

I�ll never fear into the tribulations

If I cry out to You, You will respond to me.



It is your promise, my God, protecting me.

You only ask me to trust in Christ the Lord.

Day by day growing spiritually, and

Never darken my heart into the world.



They lose the rhyme when translated, but that does not matter.



Ines M.

Agnos..... what you wrote "Fidelity is always or is not... we have to keep it intact, before, then, and after... Keep being faithful to the man God has chosen you for...I am returning to the place [spiritually speaking] God has disposed for me once again, for a while, just for a while... to pray and keep that fidelity... until I will be called again... My pleasure will be keep studying His word alone and with those He has allows me to."



Yes, God is holding "all our hands" if we will just "hold on and don't let go". God bless you my sister. As believers, our only choice in life is to trust God's word and stand together and walk through things together. Sometimes there is such risk in exposing ourselves, but I've found that as I do, I am "freer". Even when people take our fraility and use it to their advantage, which by the way happens often sometime... God is in that too. I really believe scripture which tells us that "Greater is He is us than he that is in the world." If I don't believe in the power of the Word of God, then what pr who else can I believe in that will do only what God can do?

Ah, my dear sister, you sound like I my fragility has been damaged, no, not at all. No time for that, I am still new here, and the time I have had I have use it to be more here in the Forum.

I spoke about Fidelity because I wanted to share it, because it concerns me in these times, and when a beautiful and important point starts, we can become very romantic... :hearts: I would like to speak more about that ...

I have other priorities and I need to put some things �in order�, so I will be a little absent for a while, you know what we all do when alone with the Lord� :prayingf:

You have an army of warriors here!!! And I will join again if God allows me. I have enjoyed so much these weeks!!!

Grace, we had a new song in church today, when I listened it I thought in this your posting for songs and poetry� give me time to translate it.

God bless you all with wisdom in your spirit and goodness in your heart.
