We walk together by Sunshine and Moonbeam


My Love she journey into adventure for a while
ministering the love of God to people...
equipped for the task,
her Heavenly Father blessed her and her team
with such joy , such peace...
she serve because she knows
her Honey was supporting her...
he walks side by side as his love grows for her...
even as he loves her from a 'distance'
she sensed it, she felt it...
and as she labors, he puts his hand in hers...
he needs her to know...he's there with her now..
and has her in mind as long as it takes...
as she realized just how much
he has devoted himself to her...
she is deeply touched...
in turn she lovingly took his hand...
held it tighter...
to let him know that she thinks the world of him...
and he needs her to be reminded in this way...
day by day...that she makes the world of difference to him
...and he will stay...
to her...his presence in her life
has been so timely...
and now he's there to brighten her days...
and makes her heart stronger and braver
in this way, he knows how precious are her feelings
and his for her...this help him to learn
the value of commitment to her...
deeper reassurance come in
trusting day by day...the leading of the Lord
the two of us we pray...
with all her heart she thanks her Heavenly Father
that in him she sees her soul mate,
like Boaz was for Ruth...
and she longs to go on a lifetime adventure with him'
where they can become blessings
to the world around them
and he trust that the waiting will provide the perfect adventure
...when details and the timing will prove right for both of them

thus she will continue to wait with him
patiently, lovingly, trusting that in God
and His good purposes to unfold for them...
her soul friend says Amen...
and hurries to her side...
he loves her more as each day moves...
as each day once more provides...
more opportunities to grow into
the love that comes from the Father above
shed abroad both their hearts.

The "Wait" by Moonbeam and Sunshine


He asked her...
'Will you wait for me?'
with wondering hopes and fears...

And she replied...
'Yes, I will wait, even if for a lifetime.'
And his relief and joy lifted him...

He reassured her...
'But you'll not wait a lifetime... soul friend'

His reassurance comforted her aching heart...
And he said...her assurance danced 'tango' for me, for my part

Then she realized when he asked her to wait...
he was helping her to see...
the sense of time, the oneness of movements
is so very important...
In order to 'tango' so beautifully...
they have to learn to move in rythmn...

...aware of her...and his love for her...
his fear of losing her...
yet the need to be sure...of 'we'
...he'd not be apart one moment more,than needed.

thus with this the 'wait' will be...
more beautiful...more bearable
so while she waits...
she wants to make herself into the most beautiful
gift she can offer him...
when at last the wait will come to a sure end

and her lover...in a similar way
waits in prayer...
day to day...
until he can provide...

Yes, she will wait until the day...
her Heavenly Father see it fit to give her away
to that valiant Prince who will make her into a true Princess

...this Prince for his Princess knows that she...
is already a Princess in his eyes...

Soul Friends by Sunshine & Moonbeam


I walked for a day,
in my Love's steps...

I felt what she felt,
I feel like I understand.

As I continued ...my horizon expanded...
We begin to walk with the same pace.

I realized, in peace ...
I leave my striving behind

Because we have become Soul Friends,
Two of a kind...

Mirroring the other in perfection
And seeking the Lord for, direction

In time we hope, we pray...
we will continue to journey as one...

This is our hope, so until such time...
we wait on You... we 'two' as one.

In the meanwhile help us to continue...
To grow in our friendship...

As You'd help us to...
patiently wait.

May our joy and friendship deepen...
Even as our friendship with You continue to strengthens!

This Christmas...(Runa original)

This Christmas my broken heart
found its healing in the Love
that has always been faithful from the start
the Love that surpasses all other loves

Every other friendships and relationships
will come and go with the tides of change
but is it this pure Love that remains the same
Stronger than any friendships or relationships

Unchanging, never diminishing
always steady and secure
providing, forgiving and embracing
healing and making whole

This Christmas I'm reminded again
That my place is forever in His heart
In this truth I choose to remain

And in the course of time
No matter how many times this fragile heart
will be broken by imperfect human relationships
I will choose to always love and embrace
from the depths of this perfect Love
that has loved me perfectly

This Christmas once again
I've written the Lover of my soul's name
on the depths of my heart and affections
and His name is Jesus...

That Friday...by Andrew Graham Field


On a sky torn..temple curtain torn in two,
Kind of Friday..
When sorrow seemed to reign..
You paid a particular kind of price..
Lord!

and though I've wrestled with my actions,
and also with my distractions..
..the agony of that day,
the cross you had to bear...
lead us safely two days on..
where your Sunday banished despair!

For death couldn't hold Gods son in the tomb,
He with blameless, spotless life!...
became our guilt,took our sin..
So we might have new life.

The significance and love in this amazing event..
Can overwhelm, or confuse...
But what it now meant...
Is as Jesus rose on the third day..
We Can be with him at the last..
For yes he's the life the truth and the way,
we can learn some good from the past!

Oh Lord....by Andrew Graham Field


Oh Lord, I can't go on,
Everythings gone wrong.
and I cry, as I'm frowning..
it feels like I'm drowning,
Oh Lord, I can't go on.

My Child..I go on..
Though your burden seems unbearably long,
While you cry, in your youth..
I repeat, yet this truth..
'My child, I go on.'

Oh Lord, I cannot love!,
You seem so far above,
and I'm tired of the yearning,
While the world keeps on turning.!
Oh Lord, I cannot Love.


My Child..I am called 'Love',
Unconditional Love!..
While you tire and despair,
I'll always be here,
My Child, I am called 'Love.'

Oh Lord, where is the light?..
Is it really worth the fight?,
As today I feel older,
The world now seems colder.
Oh Lord, where is the light?

My Child, trust in me for tonight,
and into the new Dawns' daylight,
My Forgiveness I'm sending..
Your broken life I'm mending,
My Child trust in me for tonight.

O Love That Will Not Let Me Go


O Love That Will Not Let Me Go
(By George Matheson)

1. O Love that will not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O light that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.


History of Hymn
“O Love That Will Not Let Me Go” written on the evening of Matheson’s sister’s marriage. His whole family had went to the wedding and had left him alone. And he writes of something which had happened to him that caused immense mental anguish. There is a story of how years before, he had been engaged until his fiancĂ© learned that he was going blind, and there was nothing the doctors could do, and she told him that she could not go through life with a blind man. He went blind while studying for the ministry, and his sister had been the one who had taken care of him all these years, but now she is gone. He had been a brilliant student, some say that if he hadn’t went blind he could have been the leader of the church of Scotland in his day. He had written a learned work on German theology and then wrote “The Growth of The Spirit of Christianity.” Louis Benson says this was a brilliant book but with some major mistakes in it. When some critics pointed out the mistakes and charged him with being an inaccurate student he was heartbroken. One of his friends wrote, “When he saw that for the purposes of scholarship his blindness was a fatal hindrance, he withdrew from the field – not without pangs, but finally.” So he turned to the pastoral ministry, and the Lord has richly blessed him, finally bringing him to a church where he regularly preached to over 1500 people each week. But he was only able to do this because of the care of his sister and now she was married and gone. Who will care for him, a blind man? Not only that, but his sister’s marriage brought fresh reminder of his own heartbreak, over his fiancĂ©’s refusal to “go through life with a blind man.” It is the midst of this circumstance and intense sadness that the Lord gives him this hymn – written he says in 5 minutes! Looking back over his life, he once wrote that his was “an obstructed life, a circumscribed life… but a life of quenchless hopefulness, a life which has beaten persistently against the cage of circumstance, and which even at the time of abandoned work has said not “Good night” but “Good morning.” How could he maintain quenchless hopefulness in the midst of such circumstances and trials? His hymn gives us a clue. “I trace the rainbow in the rain, and feel the promise is not vain” The rainbow image is not for him “If the Lord gives you lemons make lemonade” but a picture of the Lord’s commitment! It is a picture of the battle bow that appears when the skies are darkening and threaten to open up and flood the world again in judgment. But then we see that the battle bow is turned not towards us – but toward the Lord Himself!
