CONSOLATION

Beautiful songs come to me
After the midnight hour
Plentiful praise and reflections
Of His words, his eyes, his power

Conversations and thoughts
Just between us
Joyful contemplations
Of the things that are to come

It's not over, He's not done
In fact, He's just begun
To draw me in to Him
Closer to His side---

BELOVED REST

Missing the point sometimes
Hurting and not sure why
Rescued and reminded
That pain sometimes blinds us

From seeing the path of peace
And treasures of joy unfold
Sorrow and suffering often bring
A newness of life to the hungry soul

Thankfulness, gentleness, kindness
Come as we put the past behind us
Finding reasons to believe
Hope opens the door to receive

A right understanding
A real trust
Faith to go forward
And live the truth

Bless the God who made us
His humility saved us from death
His power transforms and awakens
Revives, comforts, and gives His beloved rest.
