The love I saw in Heaven

"The Love I Saw In Heaven"

The love I saw in heaven,
an unusual sight to see.
Since my birth on earth,
my focus was on me.

But when I got to heaven,
self was no concern.
Giving was the focus,
a secret I quickly learned.

The love I saw in heaven,
not seen on earth today.
For everyone up here,
kept giving themselves away.

They love the joy of giving,
to give and give some more.
No thought or sign of return,
no one was keeping score.

No thought of get receive,
no thought or care for self.
Just give to help another,
just give 'till nothing's left.

They gave in joyous ways,
they gave with gifts surprise.
They gave because they could,
they gave because it's wise.

The more they gave away,
the more they'd finally get.
The love just kept on flowing,
no one would stop or quit.

The secret to heaven's love,
growing stronger every day.
Is to find the different ways,
to give yourself away!

May God's Kingdom Come


Heavenly Father, You are good.
I come with love and gratitude.
Thank You for the blessings you give,
Thank You for freedom of mind,
Thank You for the gift of today-
With opportunities to serve,
And to make the world better.
May I show my gratitude
By a life of obedience.
Let my work be in joy and faith.
Help me to live by convictions
And not by other's opinions.
Lord, free those who are oppressed;
Destroy those chains of heart and soul,
Shelter the fearful in Your arms,
Destroy things that harm your children,
Aid those who are in mortal need,
Show Your love to the lonely ones,
Comfort those who are forgotten,
Show Your light to the discouraged,
Deliver your children from sin,
And remove its scars from our hearts.
May Your joy and peace rule all hearts.
Guide all men to lives of love.
May we all lift our hands to serve
Each other's best and God's glory.
Bring Your Kingdom soon to the earth
Through the labors of godly men.
