 I stand tall and free Without Death Terrorizing my soul. For those who die in faith Shall rise again Dead are not forgot Asleep in quiet fields of repose. God's love makes them free And they shall enter Paradise Blessed as angels... one by one. Colin Ian Jeffery Share My Bread PRAYER Dear Lord, How hard it is for me to see myself as a mighty warrior- me, the runt of the litter. So often I've seen myself as someone merely grinding out my daily bread, not someone going off to battle. And yet you've singled me out not to farm but to fight. Help me go forward in the strength you've given me, obeying your command that has sent me, and focusing on your adequacy rather than my inadequacy. Please help me with the image I have of myself as so small and weak. Eugene H. Peterson

 I stormed the thunder road from Hell With sword and shield Over bloody fields of war Fighting hordes of warrior demons down. I stand at my Lord's side Beneath his battle standard Never to retreat For he restored my soul to glory. Colin Ian Jeffery Share My Bread

 The Lord is my truth and the way And I shall follow him Safe within his love. I shall fear no evil For he protects me and leads me forth Into the everlasting light. He uplifts my soul Bringing joy and resolve And my thoughts are upon Heaven. And my thoughts are upon Heaven. Colin Ian Jeffery

 THE CHIME of a bell of gold That flutters across the air, The sound of a singing of old, The end of a tale that is told, Of a melody strange and fair, of a joy that has grown despair: For the things that have been for me I shall never have them again; The skies and the purple sea, And day like a melody, And night like a silver rain Of stars on forest and plain. They are shut, the gates of the day; The night has fallen on me: My life is a lightless way; I sing yet, while as I may! Some day I shall cease, maybe: I shall live on yet, you will see. John Howard Payne

 After supper with his disciples Jesus went alone to pray And in the garden spoke to his Father Lord God Almighty. In deep anguish of spirit prayed Sweat on brow was blood For he knew torture and death awaited him When Judas betrayed him with a kiss. He did not ask his Father in Heaven Send an army of angels to save him But for strength to offer himself As sacrificial lamb for Mankind. Colin Ian Jeffery

 Do not weep me Grieving over my fall from grace For he forgave me And I outpaced the echoes Of each demon's stalking stride. Once upon a time I shared bread he broke And sipped wine he blessed. Colin Ian Jeffery Share My Bread

 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds are Thine alone. Once did the skies before Thee bow; A virgin arms contain Thee now, While angels, who in Thee rejoice, Now listen for Thine infant voice. A little Child, Thou art our Guest, That weary ones in Thee may rest; Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth; That we may rise to Heaven from earth. Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light; To make us, in the realms divine, Like Thine own angels round Thee shine. All this for us Thy love hath done; By this to Thee our love is won; For this we tune our cheerful lays, And sing our thanks in ceaseless praise. Martin Luther Share My Bread

 O Lord, we praise Thee, bless Thee, and adore Thee, In thanksgiving bow before Thee. Thou with Thy body and Thy blood didst nourish Our weak souls that they may flourish. O Lord, have mercy! May Thy body, Lord, born of Mary That our sins and sorrow did carry, And Thy blood for us plead in all trial, fear and need: O Lord, have mercy! Thy holy body into death was given, Life to win for us in heaven. No greater love than this to Thee could bind us; May this feast thereof remind us! O Lord, have mercy! Lord, Thy kindness did so constrain Thee That Thy blood should bless and sustain me. All our debt Thou hast paid; peace with God once more is made: O Lord, have mercy! May God bestow on us His grace and favor To please Him with our behavior And live as brethren here in love and union Nor repent this blessed Communion! O Lord, have mercy! Let not Thy good Spirit forsake us; Grant that heavenly minded He make us; Give Thy church, Lord, to see days of peace and unity; O Lord, have mercy! ...

  Dear Holy Spirit, Knowing that the mouth speaks from which fills the heart, please keep me to watch over my heart with all diligence. Keep watch over me so that no unwholesome words pass the gate and hurt another person. Keep watch so my humour doesn't go in the direction of ridicule. Keep watch so no words are spoken in anger. I realise it's a small step from throwing words at people to throw stones at them. Help me to give blessings instead of curses. Especially, I pray for someone whom I have a hard time loving Eugene H Peterson

 I believe in many things in GOD and what we are Looking to the future awaits a shining star. Life is not a happening but planned long ago each one pays restitution for the seeds we sow. I believe after the rain the sun will brightly shine everyone must stop bow their heart sometime. I believe if we endure someone will smile on us for sure love is something that will last long after this life has past. Remaining faithful we will receive showers of happiness, I believe. heather burns believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe believe beli...

 We are but pilgrims travelling on this journey Leaving positive footprints, in the sands of time The tide sweeps in washing them to sea again but we must maintain steady through the floods of time When our journey has ended someday, we will stand before the master planner give account for our footprints left in the sands of time. Heather Burns Share My Bread

 Faith—is the Pierless Bridge Supporting what We see Unto the Scene that We do not— Too slender for the eye It bears the Soul as bold As it were rocked in Steel With Arms of Steel at either side— It joins—behind the Veil To what, could We presume The Bridge would cease to be To Our far, vacillating Feet A first Necessity. Emily Dickinson

 In the pleasant evening, I closed my eyes And prayed to the God With great concentration and reverence, Soon I entered the sacred region...... Free from fear, Free from anxiety, Free from enmity And free from jealousy altogether, Absolute peace and serenity reigned in the holy sphere, I stayed there Hour after hour, When I returned, I became a different soul..... Completely pure and sublime, The earthly atmosphere became alien to me. ANJANDEV ROY

 I follow the Lord And my footsteps shall not falter For he is my strength Purpose, greatest joy and glorious truth. I walk the valley of shadows Without fear because of him For his love sustains me against all perils And loving him is my aspiration. I will rest at journey's end In land of milk and honey Drink of sweet waters Soul rejoicing in the Lord's creation. The Lord guides me through darkness Raises me when I stumble and fall He is light of the world Forgiving sinners who repent. Colin Ian Jeffery

Alone, I walk fields and woods we loved Seeing you with every step I take Hearing your gentle laughter Smelling you sweet as a flower And I keep you safe within my heart. Years have slipped bye so fast Old age has slowed my pace My hair has turned white as snow But still my thoughts are focused On memories we shared And I keep you safe within my heart. Colin Ian Jeffery

 Searching for God hidden in his everywhere Lord of all creation, builder of Universes Seeking with eyes, senses and intellect Following new roads and finding him elusive Hearing news of him and of his majesty Embracing stories with wonder and glory of him Soul yearning for his blessing, strength and compassion. When life's journey finally comes to an end Entering Heaven's gates seeing angels and saints Repentant sinner with sins forgiven and soul clean. God resides sublimely enthroned within all hearts And in nature's beauty, timeless and magnificent. God is light within darkness showing the way Eternal love and truth that cannot be denied. Colin Ian Jeffery LYRICS FOR Forever Reign: You are good, You are good When there's nothing good in me You are love, You are love On display for all to see You are light, You are light When the darkness closes in You are hope, You are hope You have covered all my sin You are peace, You are peace When my fear is crippling You are t...
