Angels of the choir
Is
this the sound of heaven?
Such
sweet emanations’
Heaven
sings out
Each
note
Plucks
at my heart
Lifts
my soul
Then
elevates me
Carrying
me away
On
a choral wave
Of
sweet rapture
Then
upon the final note
Of
purest clarity
I
return to earth
I find it hard to forgive
But
we are taught we must
To
be a good Christian
We
must first forgive others
Before
God can forgive us
But
I find it hard to forgive
I
cannot let go the bitterness
Or
it’s associated baggage
The
betrayal of those I thought friends
The
deceit of family
The
put downs and the knocks
The
adversities and animosities
I
cannot make that commitment to forgive
All
I can do is promise to try
Try
to climb that ladder of forgiveness
One
painful rung at a time
And
if I do succeed
In
becoming a better person
A
more forgiving person
If
I manage to slowly climb the ladder
And
earn God’s forgiveness
I
will only do so with His grace
And
not by some immense effort on my part
Master of the universe
Great architect of nature
Builder of the galaxies
Every
facet and feature
Don’t
listen to our silence
Most
benevolent creator
And
think us unworthy
Don’t
condemn us like a traitor
We
are misguided only
That
is just our nature
We
will turn to you again
For
man is a fickle creature
At the end I am serenely at peace
In
the moments of my final hour
I
feel the presence of the Lord
Who
gently plucks me like a flower
Yeshua, you are
Our hope of salvation
Dying for us
Our hope of glory
Living in us
Yeshua,
you are
Our hope for the future
Living for you
Our hope for redemption
Alive
in you
Thank you, Lord, for being there
And
bathing us in your blessed care
Thank
you for all your blessings
And
understanding my transgressing
Thank
you for being the one
Who
watches over my three sons
And
my most wonderful wife
Ascension Day
Is
the fortieth day
Of
Eastertide
And
celebrates
With
great solemnity
The
Ascension of the Lord
