Do Ya Want My Love?

THIS IS MY COMMAND
LOVE EACH OTHER
~John 15

In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came
from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave site
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you.

Do ya do ya want my love, woman
Do ya do ya want my face, I need it
Do ya do ya want my mind, I'm sayin'
Do ya do ya want my love

Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne
by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.

In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun,
They come a 'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel, to touch her long black hair
they don't give a damn

Do Ya?

Well I think you know
what I'm trying to say to you woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.

Do ya do ya want my love, c'mon now
Do ya do ya want my face, I need it
Do ya do ya want my mind, alright now
Do ya do ya want my love, look out!

Do ya do ya want my love?

Got Mercy?

 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy;

 the LORD accepts my prayer.

~  Psalm 6
 

Mercy triumphs over judgment. 

~ James 2

Heaven's Pearls: RIP Levon

The lips of the righteous nourish many...

 ~ Proverbs 10

 Life's a strain of painful things to be overcome
We mark the mile by our trials 
and suffer everyone
But hold them near and keep them dear 
and don't be ashamed
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls
We gather scars from tangled bars
that catch under the skin
The friction burns as they turn working deeper in
But day by day sharp edges fade, 
smooth, burnished and fine
Trials of the world are all heaven's pearls

His father gave him a guitar when he was 9

Those who are wise

Early in the morning
When the church bells toll
The choir's gonna sing
And the hearse will roll
On down to the graveyard
Where it's cold and gray
And then the sun's gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away

Don't want no sorrow
For this old orphan boy
I don't want no crying
Only tears of joy
I'm gonna see my mother
Gonna see my father
And I'll be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away

I'll be lifted up to the clouds
On the wings of angels
There's only flesh and bones
In the ground
Where my troubles will stay

See that storm over yonder
It's gonna rain all day
But then the sun's gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away

(I'm going home - Lift me up)
When I go away
(No more trouble - I'm going home)
(Lift me up - When I go away)
No more crying
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more trials
(I'm going home)
Home to leave my worries in the ground
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more troubles
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more crying
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more trials
(I'm going home)
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
Home to leave my trials
And I'll be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away

All my kin who love me
All my friends who care
Look beyond the dark clouds
We're gonna meet up there

When they lay me in the cold ground
Bow your heads and pray
(Bow your heads and pray)

And I'll be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away

And then the sun's gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away

(I'm going home - Lift me up)
When I go away
(No more trouble - I'm going home)
(Lift me up - When I go away)
No more crying
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more trials
(I'm going home)
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more troubles
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more crying
(I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away)
No more trials
(I'm going home)
Home to leave my worries in the graveyard
Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard
Home to leave my trials
And I'll be bound for glory
In the morning
When I go away

And then the sun's gonna shine
Through the shadows
When I go away
Ah, when I go away
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away
(When I go away)
When I go away

So the sun stood still,
and the moon stopped...

Room 43

Vindicate me, my GOD,
and plead my cause
against an unfaithful nation.
Rescue me
from those who are
deceitful and wicked.
You are GOD
my stronghold.
Why have you rejected me?
Why must I go about mourning,
oppressed by the enemy?
Send me your light
and your faithful care,
let them lead me;
let them bring me
to your holy mountain,
to the place where you dwell.
Then I will go to the altar of GOD,
to GOD, my joy and my delight.
I will praise you with the lyre,
Oh GOD, my God.
Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in GOD,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my GOD.
~ Psalm 43

Sunday Cinema Zed: Odd Man Out

Odd Man Out - 1947
Director: Carol Reed
Starring: James Mason,
Robert Newton & Cyril Cusack

Fantastic film ostensibly about a botched burglary staged by Irish revolutionaries and sold as an exciting film noir, which it is if that is all you want from it. However this film is not truly about burglary or the IRA, it is not even a political statement it is a morality play. What this film is truly about is how a variety of people treat a condemned and dying man in the last 8 hours or so of his life. It is about what goes on inside his head ... it is about compassion ... it is about the lack of compassion - It is about redemption - and the denial of redemption.
It is about
hope
despair
love
life
death

There are aspects to the visuals that are important to take note of, shadows of crosses here and there, the rain that turns to snow as the film progresses that becomes steadier heavier and harder through to the end, the isolation the COLD... the distance from GOD... Pay attention to the scene near to the end where he is with the painter and the paintings come to life with the priest among them - he is reciting the bible in this scene...

See the film. It will vastly improve your character.

Joshua 20 - The Cities of Refuge

Tomorrow Won't Bring The Rain

When the heavens are shut up
and there is no rain
because your people
have sinned against you,
and when they pray toward this place
and give praise to your name
and turn from their sin
because you have afflicted them,
then hear from heaven
and forgive the sin of your servants,
your people Israel.
Teach them the right way to live,
and send rain on the land
you gave your people
for an inheritance.
~ 2 Chronicles 6

Let It Be Me

In the year that King Uzziah died,
I saw the Lord, high and exalted,
seated on a throne;
and the train of his robe
filled the temple.
Above him were seraphim,
each with six wings:
With two wings
they covered their faces,
with two
they covered their feet,
and with two
they were flying.
And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
At the sound of their voices
the doorposts and thresholds shook
and the temple was filled with smoke.
“Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined!
For I am a man of unclean lips,
and I live among a people of unclean lips,
and my eyes have seen the King,
the LORD Almighty.”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me
with a live coal in his hand,
which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
With it he touched my mouth and said,
“See, this has touched your lips;
your guilt is taken away
and your sin atoned for.”
Then I heard
the voice of the Lord
saying,
“Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?”

And I said,
“Here am I. Send me!”
~ Isaiah 6

Emergency Case For Dr. Ring Ding!

When the Pharisees saw this,
they asked his disciples,
“Why does your teacher eat
with tax collectors and sinners?”
On hearing this, Jesus said,
“It is not the healthy
who need a doctor,
but the sick.
So go and learn what this means:
‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’
For I have not come
to call the righteous,
but the sinners.”
~ Matthew 9

Strange Kind Of Woman

Jesus straightened up

“Woman, where are they?
