I Want to Go There (Places in the Heart)

Image
We meet to part and part to meet The parting’s mostly bittersweet When one is absent from our space It leaves a hole one can’t replace When loved ones are called away To new horizons and can’t stay In the familiar anymore to remain We still miss them dearly clear and plain But there can be no regrets And we will nevermore forget The blessed tie that binds us still While they seek their calling to fulfill. Whether absent from the body  Or absent from this place The tie that binds us transcends time and space. The ties that bond us are the stuff of grace.

Holy Love

Can't believe it's been over ten years since I wrote this one... Holy Love can heal a broken body Holy peace can make the demons flee Holy Joy releases sin's poor captives And gives new strength to hearts set free Holy fruit of the Spirit crowned with power Crowned because God is the source alone The fruit bears the seed that soon will flower Into the greatest harvest we have known! So the pot of the manna of your provision And the resurrection life of Aaron's Rod And the Tablets of law are our vision Written on hearts prepared by our God! Our hearts are the ark of your presence Your covenant is kept within this place Your presence goes with us where're we're carried Our hearts are but vessels for your grace! Anthony Foster September 7,1999
