More Notes from My Phone

 

My Children You're Loved

My children, you’re loved, and I hope that you know
That Heaven is where I am trying to go
My duty as parent, is show you the way
So, all are together on that final day
 
The practice of faith, indispensable key
Our pipeline to God and to setting us free
An hour a week is the key to success
It works well with more, but not so with less
 
He waits for us patiently, ready to speak
If only His Counsel and Wisdom we seek
No scheduling needed. He’s always at hand
Just waiting with vistas of love to expand
 
The quiet and peace of His presence are here
And all that is missing is you to be near
You'll find it uplifting and calming, I say
The highlight for sure of your busiest day
 
So, make an appointment you never shall break
If only the time with our Lord you will take
I promise you’ll hear in the depths of your heart
”I love you, and never My love will depart”


Don't Turn Back

Oh Lord, our returning to vomit we do
Instead of our placing of trusting in you 
We look to the temporal to quiet the heart 
When all that it does is eternal depart

 The source of our longing, our looking for love
Is only contented by you from above 
No pleasure can slake it. No drug can remove.
But only dig deeper the sinfulness groove

For you are the filling of all that we lack 
Repentant, you always are welcoming back 
The great absolution we get from above 
Comes from the Sacrament given in love 


Grace Enough
Grace enough I give to you

But it’s you, must choose to do

Grace ignored for want of pride

Grace employed by one who died

 

Died to self for greater gain

Bearing with the temporal pain 

Choosing as the Savior did

Not to keep the mysteries hid


Oh What a Blessing

Oh what a blessing to be with my Lord

With graces and blessings abundant outpoured 
Away from the bustle of everyday life 
An hour with Jesus, to fend off the strife
 
The weight of your presence upon me I feel 
The weight of a presence that’s true and that’s real. 
I sing of your mercies and bask in your love.
I find here on earth a taste of above
