[Note this was a Joint venture in which Ellie and I enjoyed working on together- we hope you enjoy it too]

Behold the rush of the ocean's Kiss upon the shore
Wiping clean the sandy slate that was there before;
Gulls sailing overhead,
White wings against sunset of red,
Calling out their praise
To a God who ever cares.

Shells of pink pearl,
Jewels of the sea, and ocean prayers,
Feel the mist, the motion and the power
An endless surging hour after hour,
Never ending waves that sing
Of endless dreamy things
And casting up it's foamy shame
For all the world to see.
Debris washed upon the shore,
Thought of never more--
But somethings redeemed from sandy nests
Become the searcher's pride.

And though the tides may rise and wane,
The Creator's Love remains the same
Never changing e'er remaing in our heart,
And thus by the oceans grand spectacle
An unending message is heard.

This is the way I Love thee
Endless as the sea,
My power is great to change thee, redeem thee
That you may be free as the gulls
That wing their way to me
And soar to the heights of Heaven
Escaped from the sea of fruitless humanity,
To live foevermore in oneness
On My eternal Shores
Where there shall be the calmness
Of eternities bliss,
And our Heart and Souls love
With eternities Grace-filled Kiss,
Eternally sipping from the free Waters of Life,
Free from Harm and earthly Strife,
No Rosey Sundown there,
But fore'er Glorious SON rise,
And Gardens bloom and ever blue the Sky!

Ellie and David you've done a beautiful job here!

This is the way I Love thee
Endless as the sea,
My power is great to change thee, redeem thee
That you may be free as the gulls
That wing their way to me
And soar to the heights of Heaven
Escaped from the sea of fruitless humanity,
To live foevermore in oneness
On My eternal Shores
Where there shall be the calmness
Of eternities bliss,

I love those lines! They say it all!
