Heart of Peace

Oh, Soul, you surge, you arch above
with a gentle passion’s reach to Love.

For Heaven’s quest is nearer than
the length of love in the heart of man.

Find me turning, lead me Out
The Glory calls my name – Devout.

I hear the thunder of Joys’ rain,
Clouds part with wonder – Light to gain.

Oh Soul, do let my every part,
come forward, bow, and then depart.

Naked stillness forms the glove
of Godly Peace, surrendered to Love.

Whisper hope, call forth the same.
Lord of All, I call Your Name.

Colossians 1:20 – For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.

John 14:27 – “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

 Ezekiel 11:19  “And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh.”

Prayers at Sky’s Pew

Before Your deep sky, I bend to my knee.
Heaven’s sweet gaze, it humbles me.
My heart, like a river, opens and flows
into God’s Ocean. Prayers rise- love goes.

Take me into Your ocean of Light.
Wrap my soul and lift me towards You this night.
Lord my all is drawn like a bird
into the winds of Eternity’s herd.

Let me be a promise from whom love would pour
bathed in the hope of Heaven’s Adore.
Called from within Your rivers of deep blue.
Holy, God’s Ocean, in the prayers at sky’s pew.

Lord, my all is drawn like a bird,
into the winds of Eternity’s herd.
Love wraps us each in the beauty of You,
The glory of Heavens, in such wondrous view!

Psalm 19:1
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

“The Heavenly Gate”, a worship poem from L.Willows (God’s Glory, God’s Love, Heaven, and Earth)

The Heavenly Gate

I have seen a place where we all rise…
God’s symphony lifts clouds in a dance to the skies.
All of the heavens are opened at His Gate,
there in the roam of a Paradise state.

Kept by a sweetness, I felt someone near-
all of life’s friendships, everyone dear.
Touched by all heart songs, there I could dance
drawn like a bird who could fly into the expanse.

Here in the midst of All Love, I was called
into the blushing of winds that worshiped, enthralled.
Stepping out from all that keeps us astray
the Threshold had beckoned and swept me away.

There were no tears or burdens in this quiet place bright.
Sunshine of warmth beckoned all towards The Light.
I cast off one shoe, then the other, then Free!
Soon I was dancing with another like me.

I remember the Motion that swept through me there
cast from some other; as wind through reed’s prayer.
This, in holy, roam at God’s heavenly Gate
I danced, mingled with the winds in sweet moments elate.

Revelation 21:4 —He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

Matthew 7:13-14 -Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
