Ecstasy


Hello everyone, well, after an exhausting day, I arrived at my care home yesterday evening.

Then she was in ecstasy (2 Chronicles 9:4; BES).

Lord,

Ecstasy is always
Just a breath away;
A closing of the eyes
And of the hands away;

A turning straight to you, Lord God,
In love away;
An opening of mind and heart
And soul away.

For you are always here
At every moment;
Always here within,
And here in love.

Yes, here, with us
No matter where we are, Lord,
And we are one with you,
In heaven above.

I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me (Psalm 139:7-10; NLT).
