This page will be for those of us who have talents writing poetry and songs or perhaps you would like to share a teaching or recipe with all of us. You can also write about other gifts God has given you. Let us all see the creativity our God has placed in each one of us! ******* Before you read the songs and poems many have shared I want to share my favorite singer with you. Ralna English has inspired my life not only with her God given talent but by her love for the Lord and how she shows His love to so many. Here is her web-site link - I encourage you to get her music or see her in concert.
Ralna English The joy and love of the Lord always shines so beautifully through her. I was blessed to hear her sing in Charlotte, NC when she taped her PBS special, Ralna English: From My Heart which was first aired around the world in March, 2007.
Here is Ralna and I together. What an answer to prayer, dream come true and thrill of a lifetime!!! God bless and keep precious Ralna! * * *
Dance With Me
by Kathy Yates Quidley from North Carolina Composed by the Holy Spirit September 30, 2002
Come and dance with me, my Love. Dance with me Love, my Desire. We will flow together, As we dance the dance of love. Come and Dance with me, my Love.
You take my hand, I place my hand in yours. You are my Love and we will flow together. As we dance the dance of love.
Let us flow as the music plays, Dancing cheek to cheek. You twirl me once and then twice As we dance in Love, My Lord. Yes, we dance in Love My Lord.

Our Hearts Cry by Linda-Sue Bigler from Tennessee
Our hearts cry to know You, Lord We bow our knees, our souls we pour For you're the Potter, we're the clay Make us Lord like You we pray Our hearts cry to know You, Lord
Our hearts cry to trust You, Lord In our strength we lose the war The battle's Yours, Your name we praise By Your Spirit the standard's raised our hearts cry to trust You more
Chorus: To know you, trust You, love You more To know You, trust You, love You Lord Our hearts cry to give You more
Our hearts cry to love you, Lord You call us, we can't ignore That Jesus is the Bread of Life Abide in Him, be free from strife Our hearts cry to love You more
Listen! Hear! His heart cries too. He longs to commune with You. By His Spirit to make us One In His Love, His will be done His heart cries to love us more
Repeat Chorus

God Painted Me a Rainbow by Donna Davis from North Carolina
God painted me a sunrise, how bright the sunrise shined Warmth replaced the cold and dark, recessed corners of my mind He painted me a sunrise, the fears of night just fled away For the fear of the darkest night, was replaced by a brighter day
God painted me a rainbow, how beautiful the hues Vivid, lovely colors, as I gazed my hopes renewed He painted me a rainbow, when all seemed lost and drear Thru tear filled eyes, I realized, His love was ever near
God painted me a sunset with red and orange highlights Yet in my memory, the sunrise and rainbow still shined bright He painted me a sunset, and dark night again shall be But the promise of His loving care, makes the rainbow real to me *******
Love Song of God by Roberta Jackson from Wisconsin
Sore buffeted by hell's dark force Sore ravaged by life's din and throng I lift my voice to Heaven's Source And listen for my God's love song!
With exquisite ethereal voice He with unearthly beauty sings I, filled with ecstasy, rejoice My spirit soars on angel's wings!
He takes my hand, and then we dance We move to His celestial song A song of true love and romance My heart with rapture sings along!
His words transcend the mortal mind His melodies the mortal ear And when He holds me close, I find Within His arms I lose all fear!
His liquid love o'erflows my soul Caresses and stirs my heart within We intertwine--become one whole He's mine, and I belong to Him!

God's Presence by Alison Lehto from Oakland, Maine
I feel God's Presence in every song-bird's note Hidden in our little feathered friends' throats I feel God's Presence in times of worry And wonder why we humans always hurry Seldom taking time to smell God's flowers Or even reflecting on His mighty powers. In an age where one can easily see All that we know can cease to be - A sudden push of a nuclear button Will slaughter us like sheep turned to mutton
Why is it we humans tend to bicker Even when our candle of life has only a flicker Too often, too late we feel remorse Wishing our life had followed a different course I feel God's presence when Michael Crawford sings "And He will raise you up on eagle's wings." Onto the sands of time of God's love I look forward to being with Him above Beyond the reach of our immortality Lies our destiny enfolded in His charity! *******
Lord, You Set My Pace by Linda-Sue Bigler from Tennessee
Verse 1: Today I seek Your face, Oh Lord and listen for Your heart I will to walk in Your way to be purified, set apart Joyous tears now Lord express my love My devotion is sincere Your Kingdom come from up above Jehovah Shammah, My Lord You're there
I sing a song unto You Lord and kneel beside my bed This seems a small return oh Lord for when You died and bled You promised to love me forever You are praying for me now and You sent to me the Comforter To You I humbly bow Chorus: I see more of Your beauty You are awesome to behold I'm Your soldier on duty My mission is three-fold: I will worship in Your presence, I will witness of Your Grace I will teach Your truth and righteousness Oh Lord, You set my pace Verse 2: And now I ask my greatest want though others have such need If You bestowed no more gifts for this I still would plead I want more of you, My Father; to hide beneath Your wing For worldly wealth I wouldn't bother You're my Portion, My Everything
My heart is overwhelmed to see Your Glory and Your Power I wait for Your return, My King like dry land thirsts for a shower Holy Spirit, keep filling this vessel though my "temple" may sway and quake I cherish Your inner stirrings, Your presence asleep or awake
Repeat chorus then verse 3: Glory, to You Lord of all, You chose me though I'm weak I answer to Your holy call I patiently search and seek For You are the only answer for the loss of love and hope So when I see a lost sheep drowning, I'll throw him Your rescue rope
Second chorus: And He'll see more of Your beauty You are awesome to behold He's Your soldier on duty His mission is three-fold: He will worship in Your presence, He will witness of Your Grace He will teach Your truth and righteousness Oh Lord, You Set His pace
And we'll see more of Your beauty You are awesome to behold We're Your soldiers on duty Our mission is three-fold: We will worship in Your presence We will witness of Your grace We will teach Your truth and righteousness Oh Lord, You Set Our Pace!
