The first is out of the Trinity hymnal(this is only some of it) -<BR/><BR/>"Lord, I was blind: I could not see<BR/> In thy marred visage any grace;<BR/> But now the beauty of thy face<BR/> In radiant vision dawns on me.<BR/><BR/> Lord, I was deaf: I could not hear<BR/> The thrilling music of thy voice<BR/> But now I hear thee and rejoice,<BR/> And all thine uttered words are dear.<BR/><BR/> Lord, I was dead: I could not stir<BR/> My lifeless soul to come to thee;<BR/> But now, since thou hast quickened me,<BR/> I rise from sin's dark sepulcher."<BR/><BR/> -William T. Mason<BR/><BR/> The second is from one of my favorite poems ever -<BR/><BR/> "Thou are my life, if thou but turn away,<BR/> My life's a thousand deaths, thou are my way,<BR/> Without thee, Lord, I travel not but stray.<BR/><BR/> My light thou art, without thy glorious sight,<BR/> My eyes are darkened with perpetual night,<BR/> My God, thou art my way, my life, my light.<BR/><BR/> Thou are my way, I wander if thou fly,<BR/> Thou art my light, if hid, how blind am I!<BR/> Thou art my life, if thou withdraw I die.<BR/><BR/> Disclose thy sunbeams, close thy wings and stay,<BR/> See, see how I am blind and dead and stray,<BR/> Oh, thou that art my life, my light, my way! "<BR/><BR/> -Franis Quarles<BR/><BR/>read the whole poem here. http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/quarles/job1324.htm <BR/><BR/>We are so helpless without Him, aren't we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105226992849497642.post-14765750364829808162007-08-22T14:56:00.000-04:002007-08-22T14:56:00.000-04:00Ali!! :) Thanks for commenting!
