But for the originator grand Creator sacrificed a paradise His promise to fulfill free will yeah you get to choose the bruise Cause He came but we don't refrain we to blame For He despised sin Allowed His Son to fail exhale your ways Rise up and praise Think twice be nice Carry the weight Seek fair debate Create Offer up drink from the cup break bread He's not dead Crown of thorns scorned for you and me it's free Laid bare the Lord's prayer Our story's never done cause that's MERCY He won. Mercy rap - by me :)
The Lord is My Shepherd
- - Psalm 23 | A Psalm of David --
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Praying for everyone affected by Hurricane Helene. Some are my friends here, like
who asked for prayer. She’s in Florida. *update: Please pray for Merissa and her family - their home is flooded. They evacuated but are heading home to survey the damage. I am saying extra prayers for protection over you all… , , , ,God Bless you and keep you. ox
p.s. My odes aren’t proper. Maybe one of them is. Kinda. They’re creative, and have turned to rap, which is odd for me, but super fun at the same time. It’s just happening like a record going off in my head. I want everything I am doing to be an offering to the Creator. I want to live fully in the creative spirit with thankfulness.
I have to admit something. In my teenage years I enjoyed some poems, mostly by Susan Polis Shutz, as they were mostly about love. The only one I've enjoyed into my adult years was Desiderata. Deborah, your simple creative poems are REALLY capturing me. ❣
Beautiful, Deborah. Praying for Florida as well. 🙏🕊️
