hyperdulia again Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 First, I was Bride, longing and burning for Groom. I was Bride hungering for the sound of His Voice, and the sight of those eyes emblazened with the passion He feels for my soul. Later, I was Bride, jilting my Husband, my Groom, my Lord. I was Bride, pushing away my ardent lover's advances. I was Bride, watching that beautiful face stained with tears because of my coldness. Now, I am Bride, wrapped in the tenderness of His Love. I am Bride, returned to my Lover's arms. I am Bride, forgiven of my adultery, forgiven of my refusal to submit and be overcome by Him. One day, I will be Bride, crowned and at His side from age to age. I will be Bride, begging mercy at His Father's feet. I will be Bride, triumphant and basking in His glory always.

Seatbelt Blue Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Round the corner, just a little farther down the road Is an empty bar that's sitting there, unused. The cars don't come this way no more, these days Have grown out great and grey and become gener'lly confused. Across the street from the hotel in which you slept Away the nights that were so hot you had to leave, The lights are off inside a restaurant that closed at six o'clock But it's eight with so much more to clean. The rain falls hard on the umbrellas of the world, But you accept that water's coming from the sky. It's little things like that which make you think about the Lord, but thoughtless you walk toward the yellow line. Out behind the old convenience store where once Upon a time you thought you'd found a honest man, You found a cluttered mess of magazines, and dripping wet, You gathered each and every one by hand. Underneath a thousand stars which shone so brightly that A streetlamp could obscure them from your view, A homeless man sinks slowly down, and, on the ground, he lies Asleep and dreams and hopes of getting through. The light turns red and you approach the line which seperates The opposite directions of our lives. You drum the wheel and wait a minute to continue On the distance that you've chosen to survive.

willguy Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 For F.S. from an 8-year-old boy A shower of light From heaven does fall It tells me you're there Above it all It falls like snow Soft and blessed It says your soul Is now at rest And so this tear Falls with a smile Knowing I shall see you In just a little while.

hyperdulia again Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 There is a Queen in the Heavens, A mortal woman crowned with grace, Infused with grace, Residing in unutterable glory. Born like you and I, But born without Adam’s stain resting on her fair brow. Born that she might carry In her virginal womb The great King of Endless Worth And by so doing become the mother of all who live in Him. There is a Queen in the Heavens, Assumed body and soul, Taken up into the arms of her son, The God-man, The one who hung on a cross, Bruised and shamed for the sins of the world. There is a Queen in the Heavens And immaculate beauty Who serves God by being His reservoir, The place where His Grace is stored And the place from which it flows. Queen of Heaven, I bend my knee to you. Virgin immaculately conceived preserved from the stain of all sin Teach me what it is to serve the Lord our God, to say “Let it be done unto me.” Queen assumed into Heaven, I stare at you in wonder and amazement. Mother of God, Mother of man, I throw my arms around you And cover your loving and maternal face with tender kisses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
