quiet memories

My thoughts have been quiet of You of late, I guess we're coming to that part of the relationship where things might not be easy; affection gets a little slow, thoughts are a little painful. What can I say to bring You out again?

Can I go back to that moment, that fairytale moment when You were all that mattered in my thoughts? When our spirits clicked and sparks flew, when ecstasies were all we brought out in each other. Let's go back there, just one more time.

At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I have looked at YOU

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I, can call my own
I found a thrill, to press my cheek to
A thrill that I, have never known

You smiled, You smiled
And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For You are mine at last

Rise up, sweet child, and sing,
For the victory I will bring.
Like a rising tide within,
I wash you free from the bindings of sin.
Where once was naught but gloom and self-despair,
I plant a garden of faith, power, praise and prayer.
Though you have walked the valley of death and worldly care.
Wondrous lessons have you learned there:
That I love you,
That My Word is true,
That there is naught that your flesh can do.
Still, all things are possible in Me through you.

I Don't Know How to Love You

Tell Me

If you are passionately in love with someone who you've been away from for a time, and they are now standing a hundred feet away from you, is your determination or interest in reaching them lessened if the room is crowded with people, rather than if the room were empty?

If that love and desire are real, hindrances will only heighten your determination and cause you to redouble your efforts, won't they? If other factors distract you, is it not simply because your love is not as great as it should be? So it is with meditation. If your love for Jesus is what it should be, then outside factors may slow you down in reaching your goal, but they could never prevent you from reaching it.

Go on honey, take a chance!

You wonder, has it come just to pass, or is it here to stay?
Will it be with you a lifetime, or only a few days?
Can you put your weight down and trust that it will hold?
Will it be a fire that warms you, or will it leave you feeling cold?
Well, you don't know now, but you can know.

If you take a chance on My love, you can know My fire.
Take a chance on us, let Me fulfill your heart's desire.
Give to Me your heart that's aching and broken.
I will warm and heal you with My love,
There'll be no regrets.

If you'd share with Me your heart for just five minutes,
Share your warmth, your love, you'd see,
And know the joy that there is in it.
It's not a game, I know; opening up is always tough,
But if you let the loving flow, you'll find My love is enough.
And that I know, and that you can know.

Please don't close up your heart and push My love aside,
Even if it don't make sense to you.
I just can't hide the way I feel here inside Me,
And how I care for you.
Let Me have a chance to show you that My love is true.

Take a chance on My love, you can know My fire.
Take a chance on us, let Me fulfill your heart's desire.
Give to Me your heart that's aching and broken.
I will warm and heal you with My love,
There'll be no regrets.

All I Can Think Of

All I can think of is loving You, when my gaze reaches Your lips then I do
And all I can dream of is holding You, when I hold You I know I'm supposed to
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

I can't close my heart when You love me, every touch is surrounded by majesty,
I know I was made to adore You, now my soul is awake to explore You
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

The birds they dance, the trees they sing, You're Master over everything
I don't know how this came to be, but my heart I believe

And all I can think of is loving You, when my gaze reaches Your lips then I do
And all I can dream of is loving You, when I hold You I know I'm supposed to
When Heaven's halls open like this I come into Your presence and leave with a kiss, and I praise
Every part of Your glory and beautiful grace, I love You

'Cause all I can think of is loving You.
