'Yearning' is a sign of life

[Continuing the hymn-for-Sundays series]

A plastic flower does not yearn
    for water and the sun,
and if our spirit knows God’s touch
    it’s life has just begun –
a life that yearns to know God more,
a life that yearns for heaven’s shore.

A heart that yearns that others come
    experience joy so true,
and loves to share with those who have
    enjoyed salvation too,
knows family relationship
with those who taste God’s fellowship.

The thing most wonderful of all
    is that God yearns for me
that I drink from what he provides
    – my love, he loves to see.
‘Oh, help me not forget and slide
away from you, my wise, good Guide!’

Tune: 86 86 88

Inspirational words for a quiet, sunny Sunday morning- Thank you Rhiannon for sharing your faith so beautifully. here- I  will admit to you, when I was young my faith was stronger than it is these days - I guess my path is a little rocky and I'm still searching...

It is truly uplifting to read your poems.

Thank you for that, :Penny. Keep searching, read the Bible, praying the Spirit to help understanding, pray for a church where the Bible is explained well, and those who can share their experience, and understanding of Christ's wonderful sufferings in our place, that we might know his forgiveness and love and help – knowing him in our heart!

"A plastic flower does not yearn for water and the sun", how true. Plastic roses never wilt never die and never live.

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you O God- Psalm42

This really is beautiful Rhiannon keep up the good work! Nolan &&
