Remission

Along the shore I danced
and with great abandon praise
The Lord of my life
as thanksgiving for His grace
Being unaware of the time
I pranced around through space
The joy of my abandon
could nothing there displace
And all through the sand
my footprints you could trace
Even though the evening tide
did some of them erase
The warmth of the sun
I felt upon my face
As ever up and down
the shore in dance I race
The pleasure of His presence
I found in this place
Told me He was watching
my abandon dance of praise!

We all have regrets
which bring us sorrow
That if they’re allowed to
overshadows hope for tomorrow
When mired in grief
over things we’ve done
How can forgiveness be
within ourself ever won?
In sin are we
naked before the Lord
But all that He bore
when pierce with a sword
That we be held
in God‘s loving grace
And our every transgression
did His sacrifice displace
Therefore I do say
that you mustn’t allow
Regret to overwhelm you
but rise above somehow
For if our Lord
does so forgive you
Should not the same
you yourself then do?

Tracks of tears
you can trace
or put on
a happy face
There is beauty
found in grace
so put on
a happy face
What is torn
you can lace
by putting on
a happy face
And don’t wallow
in your disgrace
just put on
a happy face
Share with others
in this place
the pleasure of
a happy face
For through time
and all space
the lasting memory’s
a happy face!

God doesn’t comfort us
for us and us alone
Nor His loving grace
to only us has shown
But rather for others
a comforter to make
And we do it all
for the other’s sake
He put us together
not a single one
Since the very time
the world first begun
To work and live
in peace and harmony
In the days of sorrow
then another’s comfort be
Thereby we may show
there’s a God above
Who created us all
in an act of love!

Your reflection is distorted
gets twisted and contorted
When everything about you
little things you do
Seen through their eyes
is who you despise
They don’t clearly see
who’s standing before me
Young lady growing strong
knowing right from wrong
The reflection that’s you
seen my eyes through
Of beauty and grace
who’s finding her place
With life looking grand
better than you planned
Loved as you are
you will go far
This life and beyond
you hold the magic wand!

That’s you Sara Jayne! Deeply loved you are!!
As with anything in life
how you play the game
Shows something of your character
for everything is the same
Through each and every day
it is how you live
That will then a reputation
to each of us give
But of a man’s character
it is the truest test
At the time he loses
that will tell us best
For if it he does
with humility and grace
Then is your trust
safe in him to place!
