I Love You… LORD, AND MERCIFUL SAVIOR You, Lord Jesus, are my living water. The abundant life of life I forever seek. Sheltering my hungry soul with your love, I bathe inside the truth of your sacred wisdom. Covering me with your salvational balms, You are my dearest joy, Lord Jesus Christ. Anointing all that I am to you, dearest dearest redeemer, Your holy fountain of love protects my soul. Your name spills as sweet nectar crossing my lips. In you I praise the sanctuary of your all-mighty truth. For only in the lantern of your guiding light I may clearly see; All that has been chiseled in the archaic tablets of sand and stone. Carry me now Dearest Lord, and merciful Savior, our Prince of peace, into your ever living light; As I sing glory under your heavenly moons, and glistering stars. Whispering upon your glorious zephyrs, upon morning’s I wake, Joyously in your song of songs, as your bounty I cherish upon my heart. My Heavenly Father King of Kings I rejoice in the glorious essence of your presence… I Love You… THE LORD'S NECTAR “Gather yea faithful children Announce yourself to my throne Praise inside the soul of your father’s father Begotten by the damnations of all mankind I falter not in my blessings to shelter you from evil Abeyance to the land of commandments made Your forefathers and prophets of the rising sun are cast And your shadow a mere glimpse in the sand …announce yourself to me” ARCHAIC ALTAR OF A ROSE LOTUS In The Lord’s Presence I Give My Undivided Thankfulness.
