THE DELIGHT OF THE FATHER AND OTHER LYRICS is a collection of over sixty biblically based poems, many of which were written to be sung. The book is arranged throughout with relevant scripture on the page facing each poem. Following are excerpts: Chorus from “The Delight of the Father”: To the praise of His glory, in Him we are one, The delight of the Father, the joy of the Son! Unworthy and imperfect, by grace we’re reborn, The delight of the Father, the joy of the Son! Verse three from “Clouds of Praise” Bless God with soft winds sighing; Bless God with gentle dew; Bless Him with lightenings flashing; Bless Him with thunders, too! Bless God and give Him glory; Bless God and give Him praise; Bless Him who is most worthy; Bless His mercy and His grace! Bless God in the congregation, May His worship fill our days! He is faithful who has promised: Blessings fall through clouds of praise! Verse one from “His Righteousness” His righteousness, blest righteousness! Christ brought the world His righteousness! What manner of a God is this— To share with us His righteousness! What manner of a God is this— To share with us His righteousness! Chorus from “Joyful Expectations” Joyful, joyful expectations! Heaven’s blessings lie in store! Miracles of God are waiting Where we have not been before! Miracles of God are waiting Where we have not been before! Chorus from “Rainbows in Waiting” He keeps rainbows in waiting For the dark and dreary day; He keeps all His creation By His Word, in every way; And when the storms are threat’ning, His great promise comes to mind: There is a rainbow waiting To remind us He is kind! Chorus from “Shining Splendor” Shinning Splendor of the ages, Shinning through Your Morning Star, Lead us in this light You give us; Keep us close to where You are! In the loving, gracious blessing Of Your presence we will stay; With high praise and great thanksgiving We will worship! We will pray! With high praise and great thanksgiving We will worship! We will pray! Chorus from “You’re Not Alone” “I’ll wrap My mantle around you, child, On the longest day, the longest mile. In adversity and earthly trials There’s a place of peace, a time for smiles. Never be afraid nor feel alone, I’m here for you, I will walk you home.”
