The children running home
Beneath a twilight sky
Oh for the fun of them
When I was one of them

See the clouds adrift so far below
Everchanging as they come and go
Makes me wonder why I’m up so high
When really I am down so low

Of all the wonders I was one allowed
I think that I would always choose a cloud
Always brings my feelings right out loud
Whether I’m ashamed or proud

On this airplane comin’ home to you
Sometimes I think I’ve flown my whole
life through
My whole life… through
As I wing my way to you

See the clouds they’re giving life below
In colors that the canvas cannot show
Keeping secrets no one else could know
For I’m the one who told them so

Now and then I get up close to you
I’d like to stay but I’m just passing through
So I’ll have to say goodbye…
Until next time I fly.

I’m not looking for the sunset,
As the swift years come and go;
I am looking for the sunrise,
And the golden morning glow,
Where the light of heaven’s glory
Will break forth upon my sight,
In the land that knows no sunset,
Nor the darkness of the night.

I’m not going down the pathway
Toward the setting of the sun,
Where the shadows ever deepen
When the day at last is done;
I am walking up the hillside
Where the sunshine lights the way,
To the glory of the sunrise
Of God’s never-ending day.

I’m not going down, but upward,
And the path is never dim,
For the day grows ever brighter
As I journey on with Him.
So my eyes are on the hilltops,
Waiting for the sun to rise,
Waiting for His invitation
To the home beyond the skies.

Albert Simpson Reitz, June 1953

Toward the light is a post from bensbook.

Het leven komt zoals Hij het je wil laten ervaren… en uiteindelijk is het Zijn bedoeling met ons dat wij aan het einde kunnen zeggen dat we dankbaar zijn… gewoon… dankbaar…
Ook al snappen we de downs niet en duren de ups in onze beleving te kort.
Als christen mag je weten dat ieder kruispunt, elke ervaring, al je gevoelens en al je levensdagen bij Hem bekend zijn… Hij doet er iets goeds mee.. tot we naar huis gaan en mogen weten met het terugkijken op onze levensdagen… het was goed zo… enkel dankbaar zijn…

95 / Sorry is a post from bensbook.

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories

And I’ll find that there is someone to believe in
And to live for something I could live for.

96 / De liefde… soms niet te vinden… soms is het over… is a post from bensbook.

When I am down and oh my soul so weary,
When troubles come and my heart burdened be.
Then I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit a while with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise me up, to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise me up, to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise me up, to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains,
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas.
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders,
You raise me up, to more than I can be.
