Breathe on me the breath of Life.
Cleanse my spirit, remove my strife.

Hold me near, inside Your arms.
Keep me safe, away from harm.

The Lamb of Peace, joy to bring.
Let all your hearts with gladness sing.

Praise to God on Glory High,
believe in Him, you will not die.

Joyfully 
my heart sings out
songs of Glory for You tonight.

I feel Your Mercy on me bestowed.

Heavenly Father, show me the way.
Guide me through each treacherous day.

Sometimes I fall
so short of Your Grace,
I run in vain 
to hide my face.

-Gloria Valentine

Who Am I?

Tho many people stop and stare, 
they hardly know I'm even there.

They see me not with their eyes so cold,
yet speak of me so brash and bold.

They claim to know me, yet know me not,
for in their hearts, I am forgot.

Who am I?

-Gloria Valentine

To seek you in all things.
How amazing you are.
Your ways are so mysterious, yet as familiar as my hand.
At times I am lost without a clue, my discernment jammed.
But you are there with me, leading me without me even being aware.
I may feel as if I'm nailed to my cross and you, for a moment,
have turned your face from me, yet I knowing,
you never took your eyes off me.
Allowing me to feel pain only strengthens me, my faith is doubled.
How marvelous you are, how awesome a God I have.
The overwhelming power of your Love and favour,
my heart grows beyond it's boundaries.
How could I ever doubt you?
My small little self.
The rain pours forth from the sky
as does your Love pour forth from heaven.
Together they cleanse and embrace all things you have made.
You are my God, the God of all.
Truth above truths.
Pardon above pardons.
Life above life.
Everything is Yours and everything will one day 

acknowledge You as the Almighty One. 
I Am that I Am, above all things temporal.

-Gloria Valentine

Morning Prayer

This morning the importance of morning prayers filled my thoughts. So for those of you who don't have their own morning prayer, I am sharing mine.

For all these things I pray,

On the dawn of a brand new day,
A chance to start anew.

And all that I shall gain,
I will gladly give back to you.

Amen.
