He Saves
Faith is not an instinct. It certainly is not a feeling - feelings don't help much when you're in the lions' den or hanging on a wooden Cross. Faith is not inferred from the happy way things work. It is an act of will, a choice, based on the unbreakable Word of a God who cannot lie, and who showed us what love and obedience and sacrifice mean, in the person of Jesus Christ. - Elisabeth Elliot
Heaven’s tears, in gentle sighs
trembling, dewlike gentleness
flowing, drenching the spirit
notes of amber, melancholic
urging the spirit to hear what His love speaks
in a voice of twilight murmurings,
blessings so still, they vibrate in the thundering
rhythmic beauty, swelling inside those who hear His words,
softly spoken blessings, promises awakened
beautiful affection, growing
wisdom and kindness, expressions
prayers and praises…
Heaven’s tears, walking on the spirit
flowing light, soft as the sincerest gentle,
abiding in the soul who believes, who sees
beyond the present, into the eternal, implications
pouring out endless faith, believing
so amazed by the faith
grace that can never stop giving
joy that lives in the sincerity, the soothing
touch of peace that agrees
with you and me, throughout everlasting
breathing truth, forever giving
away the words, the meanings, the praise
that comes from the knowing
He is who He says He is…
eternity, in heaven’s tears
erasing the doubts, the desperation, the despair,
reaching beyond the darkest shadows,
into the music that bleeds
in notes of endless grace, abiding praise
where life never leads to a grave,
but to forever with the One who saves
saves in a way that only He can save!
Heaven’s tears, sing with promises,
forever, on the wings of angel, humming
light over the edges of the heart,
in notes of praise, - yes, He will amaze
where He leads, I will follow
only the light falls beyond the shadows,
erasing the fears, reminding me
in prayers, while heaven’s tears sing
like a promise that remembers He is there,
always, forever, eternally…
through the winds, the seas, the broken dreams
He remembers me – I am so very thankful
He sees and He remembers me,
when I can’t pray or say
what it is that I need…
He is the reason that I know, wherever I go
He is there, changing the black to white,
the dark to light,
the doubt to faith,
the fears to grace….
forever, with Him, I’m amazed
so very amazed…
forever, with Him, I’ll stay – because He saves
Yes, HE SAVES!
