Run to the Lord

People are racing for the door
Running and lusting for more
Caught inside the worldly vice
Family life is being sacrificed

Priorities of the game changed
Normality becoming estranged
Devotion is being undermined
It is the time for getting mine

Lifestyles of glamour and fame
Dignity sold for a life of shame
Pouring forth sweet as honey
Money, money, money, money

Many though are playing ball
Through it all they stand tall
Sacrificing all and doing right
Day after day fighting the fight

True joy is the love of the Lord
An everlasting harmonious chord
The voices of the angels sing
Praise be God our glorious King

Reach out to your fellow man
The Kingdom of God is at hand
Truth awaits you behind door
Run to the Lord; search no more!

A Place in Glory

Dear children, please don't cry
Wipe the tears from your eyes
Though, so many are sleeping
From the dust they shall arise

I've prepared a place for you
Just for you and you alone
The peace that you long for
Is there awaiting you at home

When a loved one is sleeping
And your heart is breaking
Let faith guide you through
Loved ones are awaiting you

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Place your faith and trust in me
A place is prepared for in glory
Close your eyes and you will see

Triune of Love

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, flowing forth compassion
Redeemer; Lamb of the Eternal and the Great, "I AM"
Fullness of peace, and the source of everlasting joy
Lover of souls; only begotten Son of God Most High
We sing praises to thee, Song of Songs of all eternity

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, calling forth shepherds
Wisdom; reflection of Light, beaming though darkness
Radiant Glory of He who Is, Was, and shall forever Be
Majesty, seated at the right hand of Infinite Power
We proclaim your Holy Name - Life, Justice and Truth

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, the beginning and end
Unity; Body, Blood, Soul, Divinity; Precious Lord
Savior of the world, crowed with piercing thorns
Heart aflame, bursting forth with rays of mercy
We rejoice forever, and adore your Holy Presence

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, delight of holy angels
One with the Immaculate Heart of your Mother Mary
Pouring forth salvation of Thy Most Precious Blood
Rain down your endless mercy from heaven above
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Eternal "Triune of Love"

Beautiful poem, lazygal, thanks for sharing it!

Hello everyone. I would like to share my very favourite poem with you. The author is James Plunkett, the Poem is "I see His Blood upon the rose"
I see His blood upon the rose, and in the stars the glory of His Eyes,
His body gleams amid eternal snows,
His tears fall from the skies.
I see His face in every flower, the thunder
and the singing of the birds are but His voice,
and rocks His written word.
All pathways by his feet are trod,
His strong heart stirs the ever beating sea.
His crown of Thorns is every thorn,
His Cross is every tree. God bless

Good evening, all,

Just passing through. All of you are in my prayers.

God loves all of you and yours, lurkers, too,
Don

Spirit of Freedom

Imagine the joy; sleepless nights in conversation
Away from the noise, the bustle and temptation
Imagine the peace; the quiet peaceful solitude
Dear, Lord Jesus, I love spending time with you

I can call you by your name, or call you, my friend
Sing your praises out loud, or whisper in the wind
Seek the glory of your kingdom, a true living stone
Dear, Lord Jesus, with you, I am never ever alone

In the warm sunshine, or a cool, brisk driven rain
Walking on the seashore, horse riding on the plains
Sowing seeds of faith, reaping a harvest of plenty
Dear, Lord Jesus, transform me, to walk on the sea

Imagine the joy, of the grace to move mountains
Living out the faith, to light the darkness each day
Imagine the peace, catching the Spirit of Freedom
Dear, Lord Jesus, Imagine me, a true image of you

Good evening, all,

Hi, tonyg,
Love your poem, "The Divine Mystery".

May all of you and yours, lurkers, too, have a blessed and safe Memorial Day.

God loves all of you and yours, lurkers, too,
Don

The Divine Mystery

Father, our Father, All Powerful; Divine
Creator of life and the Master of time

Son of God, the Lamb of the Most High
Jesus, our Savior, the Love of our lives

Holy Spirit, light bearer; glory of Christ
Guide to all truth and sight to the blind

Mystery of the ages, the Great "I AM"
The Father, Son; the Holy Spirit of man

Grant us wisdom; eyes of faith to see
The Divine Mystery - One God, Holy Trinity
