A Ballad of Pure Love
This ballad is written with the memory of moments in my life when I have seen in others the joy of pure compassion, when someone has shown both in their expression and in their action a depth of love that I can never forget and which speaks to me of Christ’s love for us.
It is in that sense a love song with a depth of yearning and gratitude for those times of knowing a purity of heart which Jesus said would enable us to see God.
(Matthew Ch5 v8.)
Darkness to Light
A city experience where churches can be havens of peace and healing.
Walking Through the Wood
Written just after returning from a misty November walk in the Churchyard.
