Artisan

I'm amazed at the work of the artisan
I watch as his hands create perfection and beauty
He draws this image with Love's pen
Then he turns and says to me:
Take it in

It shines brighter than any star
It is everything near and far
It is where you want to be
Just as perfect as any can see
It's amazing, and don't forget
He's not even finished yet

He continues creating this image so fine
I know it will never leave my mind
Then this artisans eyes lock into my view
As he softly says: My dear, This is you.

Your smile shines brighter than any star
You are everything to me, near or far
You are where I want to be
You are just as perfect as any can see
I think 'How can this artwork possibly be me?'
And I wont forget...
He's not even finished yet

This is how He sees me, and how you do too
So my angel here in this life, is you.

Dance My Way

She walks around a frozen pond in a soft white gown
Feels the music start
Pulls out a white ribbon and begins to dance around
To the flow of her heart

He enters the scene, slow and discreetly
Hears the music play
Stands there so quiet, smiling at her sweetly
As if to say:

Dance my way, don't be shy!
Because I'm here to stay and Love wont pass us by
I see you there across the silver ice
If you'd move your path here, well that would be nice
Dance my way

She sees him and to him she runs and she twirls
Radiant and bright
Her ribbon around her makes shinning white curls
Flowing so light

Then let go the ribbon - carried away by the breeze
How she dances: As if it were planned
He opens his arms as if asking her: Please
His words are a request, she knows he wont demand

Dance my way, don't be shy!
Because I'm here to stay and Love wont pass us by
I see you there across the silver ice
If you'd move your path here, well that would be nice
Dance my way

To his open arms she turns right in
He embraces her and slowly together they spin
A soft white mist around them settles in
While behind it their duet begins

Then I open my eyes and again see everything
As I hear the last of those inspiring chords ring

Lying Rain

After a few, my heart feels the scare
Find it hard to believe "For you I'll always be there"
I discover more about true care
Also, the things they say only for flare

Is it wrong to so easily believe?
Does it make one unsafely naive?
Would he ever think to deceive?
Are my strings of comfort in a false weave?

Is it bad I'd so easily trust
Each kind word or promise.. must
Have some truth. Or are they only thrust
out? Shattered lies blown away with the dust

Drip.
Drip.
Is it raining lies?
Drip.
Drip.
Can I read those eyes?

I've been told it is safe to doubt a little more
Not sponge in those words but lock them out the door
But still, in I let them pour
Do I listen... or let them hit the floor?

Drip.
Drip.
Is it raining lies?
Drip.
Drip.
Can I read those eyes?

My heart feels the scare
"For you I'll always be there"
"I'd change everything"
"Dear, I truly care"
"I'm here for you, I'll be anything."

If I trust all this now
Will I later feel pain?
I just don't see how
This could be lying rain

Drip.
Drip.
Is it raining lies?
Drip.

Drip...

Can I read

Those

Eyes?

Royal Birth

I didn't write this, it was given to me by a young women leader. But I really really like it. It's made me cry. :)

I am a child or royal birth.
My father is King of Heaven and Earth.
My spirit was born in the courts on high,
A child beloved, a princess am I.

I was nurtured there,
I lived by His side
In a home where patience and Love abide.
My Mother was there in that glorious place,
Blessing her children with queenly grace.

I grew to the stature that spirits grow,
I gained the knowledge I needed to know.
I was taught the truth and I knew the plan
That God and Christ laid out for man.

I was there when the starts of morning sang.
I mingled my voice when the heavens rang.
I was there to rejoice, to praise and applaud
The shouts of joy from the sons of God.

I waited my turn and I came to earth
Through the wonderful channel of human birth.
The curtains were closed and the past was gone.
On the future, too, the curtains were drawn.

I live on this earth and God willed it so;
With freedom to choose the way I should go.
I must search for the truth,
I must serve and obey -
I must walk by my faith or fall by the way.

Someday I'll go back
I will answer the call.
I'll return with my record to the Father of all.
The Heavens will open and so will my heart,
There will be great rejoicing if I've done my part.

My Father, the King, in His infinite Love
Will welcome me back to the mansions above
The curtain will part, and eternity
In it's light and glory, will open to me.
