Kings and Kingdoms all pass away
nothing on earth endures,
but the Love of God who sent His Son
is Forever and Ever Yours
Mark 12:30 
"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind,
and with all thy strength: 
this is the first commandment.
Lord, give me the right words to say
To broken hearts that come my way
To those who have been hurt before
That, I not hurt them any more


To those whose hearts have hardened up
To those who won't hold out their cup
That, Lord, You long to overflow
With love and mercy. Lord, let me know


That I might have the words to say
That I might plant a seed today
That glory would be given to You
Through all I say and all I do


Lord, give me the right words to say
More hearts are breaking every day
They're out there crying in the night
I long to help them see the light


But, fragile are those souls and weak
So this is why Your words I seek
And pray Thee give me words to say
That I, not one soul, turn away.

Have you ever wished,
when a day went wrong
a wish that's quite in vain
that it were only possible
to live that day again

You'd start out in the morning
with the prayers you should have said
and through the days your actions
with tolerance be led

The many little instances
that tried your patience, true
if only you could start again
you'd know now what to do

You'd kneel and say your evening prayers
and thank the lord above
for all the pleasant hours past
your heart at peace with love

But since this is a wish in vain
and never can be true
there's only one alternative
just one thing you can do

To live today in such a way
that when tomorrow comes
the memories of yesterday
will all be cherished ones.

In His Hands

In God's great hands, my name is written down;
Not lightly, but with bold deliberate strokes:
Engraved forever there for me to see
One day, when I come home ...
Still following the way.

I cannot fathom why the great "I Am"
Should plan for me to know His pen has traced
The letters of my name (which He knew first) ...
Except the joy, the peace, the confidence
He has (in wondrous ways) to me dispensed.

For when the tragedies of life contain my name,
I say, "He knows and I am not alone.
I trust because I know He can't forget.
This trial for me is good.
He loves me yet."

And so, dear friend, my pen is in my hand.
Your name I place upon my palm today.
I promise, as I go about my tasks,
I'll pray for you each time the Spirit asks.

Sometimes, in gentle gesture, I do close
My fingers there (around your precious name)
And hold you close, knowing that God
Is doing just the same.


© Poem by Joan Clifton Costner
To fall in love with God
is the greatest of all romances;
to seek Him,
the greatest adventure;
to find Him,
The greatest human achievement.
