This was the first poem I wrote after receiving prayer for God's creativity to be released in me. The meeting at which I received this prayer was the evening of 25/1/96 ..... the poem came in the early hours of the 26th. Later, much much later, I realised God had restored a poem which had, in parts, lain dormant in my heart since I was a teen, or maybe even pre-teen. He restored, renewed and added to it and has faithfully used this seed to grow hundreds more in my heart. I pray they bless you as you read them.

                                     


                                  CLOUDS

 

The clouds of night are drifting,
Drifting endlessly,
The clouds of night are drifting,
To meet the dark blue sea.

The stars of night are shining,
Shining bright above.
The stars of night are shining,
Symbols of God's great love.

 

The clouds of sin are drifting,
Across a hurting soul.
The clouds of sin are drifting,
A hindrance to being whole.

 

Clouds of darkness like the night,
Cover the eyes of our soul.
Open our souls eyes to the Light,
Let Jesus be our goal.

 

The light of the Lord is shining,
Bright shining Eastern Star.
The light of the Lord is shining,
Drawing our souls from afar.

 

The song that our soul is singing,
Song of Eternal praise.
The song that our soul is singing,
Is the song of a dead soul raised.

              LOVE

         

        Love is a passion,

        Love is a fire,

        Consuming all before it.

         

        Sin is consumed by fire,

        Consumed by Love,

        Love conquers all.

         

        Love is truth, and peace and joy,

        Love is stronger than sin or fear.

        Love is God and God is love.

         

        One God, One Truth, One Love,


        Three parts to One God,

        Three times the love.

         

        One Love consuming all,

        Infilling all

        Who would share this Love.
