Subject: NEW SONG ...
i've realized many of the things i write start with a vision that i describe, in turn transforming into a song. here's one i just wrote; i think i'm calling it "ooze."



The heat, the scorching flames of a fire
Are licking at my arms,
Sauntering closer toward me -
They clench my curiosity and
I can't help but crawl closer to them.

My fingers stretch out to brush
The churning yellow and orange,
Fluorescent wonders to my eyes.
The blue flicks out to grab my wrist
And pull me under,
But instead I am swept away by strong arms...

The flame recedes to the ground,
A showering, wet love extinguishing its danger
And for a while I am dancing in cold drops that fall
And linger at my feet,
Puddles of mercy and grace and salvation,
Puddles where You lead me to splash and absorb,
Soak in Your majesty and ooze Your greatness.

Lord, my life to live is Yours,
Lord, I will ooze You like a saturated cloth
To be wrung by all who know You not
So they will see that Your love does not run dry -
I will do this
All because You have rescued me from that fire,
All because You have saved me from that eternal death
That death ignited by Satan's matches.



that's all i have so far. i love writing my praise out to god ... it gives a sense of completion, expression. it feels wholehearted, and god doesn't admire halfheartedness.

well i'm off to read, i'm terribly behind.

love in christ,
autumn

Yeah, sure, you can add me. I wasn't as polite as you. I just added you because you were a sister in Chirst and that kind of encouragement is valuable.

i love that - how you can never know someone personally but still be intimately connected by god.

way cool.

in conclusion, i'm adding you for the same reason - thank you so much.
