Wine of Love

Wine of Love



Snippet
Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone – we find it with another. Thomas Merton

                                                                       Scripture


“Kiss me again and again, for your love is sweeter than wine.  Song of solomon 1:2  TLB

Song

The Wine We Drink by Dew Holcomb & The Neighbors


I have a tendency to laugh at all the wrong moments.
Sometimes I forget the words to my own song.
I'm not the silent type or an exit sign or a yellow brick road.
You are the one thing that I know.

It's in the wine we drink, dirty dishes in the kitchen sink,
and the lights go out til the sun comes up; we are not alone.
It's in the miles we drive, never having to say goodbye 
to the things we tell each other without saying a word.
You are the one thing that I know.

There's a beauty that we never know what the future holds.
Beneath the surface we are the calm, we are the storm.
I'm not sunset or a hurricane or a Vincent Van Gogh.
You are the one thing that I know.

It's in the wine we drink, dirty dishes in the kitchen sink,
and the lights go out til the sun comes up; we are not alone.
It's in the miles we drive, never having to say goodbye 
to the things we tell each other without saying a word.
You are the one thing that I know.

It's in the wine we drink, dirty dishes in the kitchen sink,
and the lights to out til the sun comes up; we are not alone.
You are the one thing that I know.


Sentence Prayer

Father your banner over me is love!

Your love is a heady wine!

It gladdens my heart to love that which 

is hard to love!

Your love deepens my heart

to love those to often taken for granted!

May I not get drunk on wine; but may I lose control 


in Your heady presence!

GOLIATH



SNIPPET

“Until pains are endured, depressions surmounted, mockeries ignored and goliath’s conquered, destiny might not be achieved” 
― Ikechukwu Izuakor

SCRIPTURE

David asked the men standing near him, “What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and removes this disgrace from Israel? Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” 1 Samuel 17:26

We've been advised
That you're not very nice, that you're
Telling the world you own us
We hear you're saying
That our season is through
'Cause you've got to pay the devil his due
Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing
You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down
We're all aware
That you don't play fair, but we're
Done trying to appease you
You wanna run it
Like you already won it
I think you've got amnesia
Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing
You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down
It's on
It's set
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya
It ain't
A threat
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The harder they fall
Keep your nose up
Attitude's king
When you get hit
You won't feel a thing
You've been on a roll
Pushing us around
Here's your high five
Now you're going down
It's on
It's set
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya
It ain't
A threat
We're comin' to get ya
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
The bigger they come
The harder they fall
Yeah, we're comin' to get ya
