Life Recipe

Take this worry from my head
Mix it with the blood you shed
Blend it with the psalms I read
Strain the mixture I'll be fed

Reduce our lifes dismal toil
Set to simmer, do not boil
Feed me love my daily bread
As I lie my weary head

Add a cup of mercy, please
Gently knead sin from our list
Drizzle kindness seeds and freeze
Roll sin out to the abyss

Grate a zest of passion flower
Let it rise with your power
Mix it with the Blood you shed
Nourish me my daily bread

Gently roast with your bright light
Loves aroma vapors mist
Wafting 'bove earths greediness
Its the reason we exist
Let the devil shake his fist

As we await our final tryst
Our progressions not remiss
Grateful for your tenderness
Pour your strength into my core
Stir in wisdom to endure

Sprinkle peace in more and more
Dash o discipline I implore
Shake up your love I adore
Spread your son to reassure

Saviors icing and allure
Crushed the devil we abhor
Lamb vaporize guilt and foe
Mixed in with the blood you shed
Patina cauldron is on low
Blended with the psalms I read

Bubbling mustard seeds to grow
Strain the mixture I am fed
Simmer grace and bring to Glow
Ignite my life my daily bread

                               Her light is not extinguished
                               Only her body is relinquished
                               The sparkle she exhibited
                               Will never be inhibited

                               Every piece of stardust twinkle
                               Every work of Love generously sprinkled
                               Shines as bright as a Glorious Nova
                               Only her earthly life is over

                               As the heavens accept her energy
                               Know you are wrapped in her loving,
                                          Living synergy

                                Occasionally, on this gravity filled earth
                                We're unsure of our celestial worth
                                There's a reason for our humble birth
                                 And a season to our earthly hearth

                                Remember her with laughter
                                As she's accepted into the ever-after
                                Her light is not extinguished
                                Only her body is relinquished

                                Through the grace of God
                                She's lifted with a nod
                                Feel her smiling spirit brightly lit
                                Her melody has amplified
                                     "Do you hear it?"
                   
                                She is home, her eternal Glorious Gift
                                In God's brilliant star light, she doth drift
                                Her light is not extinguished
                                Only her body is relinquished
                                Oh no, her light is not extinguished
                                Only a tired vessel is relinquished
