Take Me Away

I search for Your face in the clouds,
For the angels and heavenly crowds.
Lord, take me away
To heaven to stay,
Where glory and splendor abounds.

Is it time for the Wedding to start
When I’ll dance with the Love of my heart?
With uplifted hands
Before You I’ll stand,
Declaring how awesome You are.

Arise from Your throne; pierce the skies.
Let me glimpse of Your passionate eyes.
Burst forth in Your light,
Great power and might
And then will Your people arise.

May my name be written in gold.
May You find my heart hot and not cold
When the City descends
And the world meets its end.

At last will the Rapture unfold.

I long for You, Lord, to appear.
Will You come in a month or a year?
If you grant me the grace,
Then I’ll wait for Your face,
And I’ll serve You with joy while I’m here.

-- Charity, girl, age 15

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Praise for Our King

Be exalted, O God, in the heavens above!
We lift up our hands, an expression of love.
From the depths of our hearts, we shout to the Lord.
Forever and ever He will be adored!

Awaken, O sleeper, and sing Him a song
In the coolness of night, at the breaking of dawn.
With love so divine You have captured my heart!
May nothing on earth ever keep us apart.

O King Who is worthy of all of my praise,
We rejoice in your goodness; our voices we raise.
Help me to love you with all of my heart,
Simply because of how worthy you are.

How great is Your Name and how awesome Your deeds!
No man can accomplish what You’ve done for me.
Diamonds and rubies can never compare
With the beauty and value of love that You share!

 -- Charity, girl, age 15

Poet's Commentary:  In the second stanza of this poem, I said that the Lord Jesus has captured my heart. I am using the word "capture" to mean "to attract and hold."  He attracted my heart to Himself when I was a little girl and has held it.  And He continues to attract me.  But I know that I am still in the process. I want to go to a deeper level in Him.  That's my prayer, and I hope it is yours also.  That is why I have added in the third stanza, "Help me to love you with all of my heart."  This describes my deep desire, and I wanted to make sure I did not lead anyone to believe I am more spiritually mature than I really am.

God Will Meet You There

God will meet you there
In that secret place of prayer.
He’ll reach down from on high
And hear the humble cry.

You will encounter Him
And from the weight of sin
You will be freed at last!
The Savior’s love is vast!

Take that daring leap.
Your life will be complete
When in that special place
You meet God face-to-face!

-- Charity Lacroix, girl, 15 yrs old
