Prepared For Life's Improvisation by Michael Doyle
Jesus lived into His flawless ministry With an ethic of love spoken eloquently. With His death, He left His tomb empty To begin again, mankind's hope in history.
Immeasurable, He was hung on a bloody cross. It was to our gain, but not His Loss. Each of us now faces a holy choice, Whether we affirm His grace with our voice.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
The atonement has been verified. All the doubts, with evidence satisfied. Jesus arose with a witnessed testimony As the angels sang their grand symphony.
He came to lead through His submission, Offering up love as His grand mission. His Father's kingdom offers the sweet liberty That has conquered all of human history.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
Death is transcendence and transition, Electrifying intensity has moved humanity's position. The Disciples changed to help us face tomorrow. We have been given Scripture to heal our sorrow.
Action steps are taken to save and atone, All of this so that we do not walk alone. Predictably unpredictable, and though we prepare, We cannot truly prepare, but we still care.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
Though we should be taken by this whim And making the effort to find him, We see that it is Jesus seeking humanity, Not out of vanity, but in the fullest humility.
Crossing the chasm to give us salvation, Every step of the way, He offers sanctification. At our most lost, Jesus comes to save. Through His love, we are rescued from the grave.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
The stone was rolled away to let us in. Satan was defeated so that we can escape sin. We are captivated by disallowing our presumption And awakening to the awe and losing our assumptions.
A rewritten script filled with rolling thunder As we gather to worship the Creator's wonder. Leaning in with full and right intention, We can't help but notice the glory calling our attention.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
Jesus's resurrection wasn't new information, It was an act of truest affirmation. He had told His disciples of His resurrection, Then it transpired to make the needed connection.
Bridging the gap to Heaven's throne. Through three days of death, Jesus did atone. Delivering all of us as was His service, That we would come to fulfill His purpose.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.
It was sin... As we begin. It was love... Given from above. It was belief... That delivered us from grief. As we find Jesus is our rock... And we rise in delighted shock.
Love has the final word in God's family Bringing the truth that we might live holy. All surrender to what God has brought. We live the Great Commission that it not be forgot.
The game was changed to give us our chance As we take our part in this grace-filled dance. All it takes is for us to truly believe, And His loving redemption is what we receive.
Today is held as the Resurrection Day, For the Son of Man as we pray. He rose to give mercy and salvation. Through His Love, we receive Heaven's destination.

“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples.“ – Matthew 28:5-8
Between bits of laughter, we begin comfortably In building what may yet become our family. It isn't so much the jokes but the easy smiles. They go a long way in logging away the miles.
A sip shared, a song sung, and then we dance. It becomes the needed entry into our romance. A blind man's ride makes for a comfortable mess. But in the end, there is only love to confess.
A kiss at a vineyard sunset gives courage to the man, Who was once too afraid to do what only a bold man can. Painting landscapes that belong in a lover's heart, It whispers with beauty, some loves must never part.
Enter the gorilla who wants to dominate the room, He's too foolish to know he's building his own doom. To be rude and macho is a charade of the impressive. And yet he wonders why he's seen as regressive.
Some folks can't help but be endlessly competitive, Despite losing what's important to the point, it's repetitive. Just one more time, let's place that bet. Winner takes all, we're not allowed to forget.
A kiss at a vineyard sunset gives courage to the man, Who was once too afraid to do what only a bold man can. Painting landscapes that belong in a lover's heart, It whispers with beauty, some loves must never part.
With wrong words left silently unspoken, Tears once again fall for hearts that are broken. What was comfortably falling in place is gone As we fade back, glancing at stars wished upon.
It's okay not to be okay when you're not okay, I think I heard someone wise put it this way. Honesty is its own masterpiece of bravado Never giving up and growing out of the shadows.
A kiss at a vineyard sunset gives courage to the man, Who was once too afraid to do what only a bold man can. Painting landscapes that belong in a lover's heart, It whispers with beauty, some loves must never part.
What you can do is what you would do to never surrender, Finds its way back to a love that is warm and tender. A near-defeated lover finds a song yet to be sung, It is the bravest moment to which he had decidedly clung.
A wounded heart finds a love song to sing fortissimo To tell the one he loves that he will never let her go. And as she turns to quietly slip into the night and away, His lips cannot quite form the words asking her to stay.
A kiss at a vineyard sunset gives courage to the man, Who was once too afraid to do what only a bold man can. Painting landscapes that belong in a lover's heart, It whispers with beauty, some loves must never part.
With all the words and miracles of blessings said, There were still walking dreams shining in the lover's head. Trust that love is meant to be cherished and held onto, A lover knows that this much of the fairytale is true.
It's our mistakes that teach us how and who to truly love. It's as if guided from our Lord in hallowed Heaven above. There's something there in your beautiful photograph. I sit here shaking my head, a whisper becomes our laugh.
A kiss at a vineyard sunset gives courage to the man, Who was once too afraid to do what only a bold man can. Painting landscapes that belong in a lover's heart, It whispers with beauty, some loves must never part.

Words and deeds form love's foundation. Miracles of mercy shine in explanation. The something that anchors all our passion, Is love's path walked with compassion.
A rack of tequilas sways on a server's tray. They set in motion hearts ready to play. Sometimes a little lubrication starts the dance, And after all, we are here to begin our romance.
Under the disco lights, the beat begins to play. It won't be long tonight before we both drift away. There's something about it that moves my soul, Before you know it, we're lost up in rock ' n ' roll.
The love we have is as deep as it is infinite, And as our souls touch, we know our love will never quit. Love's light shines the way into the stars of darkness, It is this dream that removes life's bitter harshness.
The only love we get to keep is the love we give away, And the best of true love comes on an unexpected day. There are a lot of miles in forming life's true love way. Maybe it takes the strength built for love to stay.
We can't be too timid to give love our best try. It's the craziness of love, I am not going to lie, That takes us knocked down on our blue jean knees And teaches us to catch the joy of love's gentle breeze.
It's all the little moments that give life motion Filling our hearts with the immensity of our emotion. Hand in hand in acceptance as we come to understand That each of us will forever live within love's command.

“I think the most important thing to do is to be willing to listen, willing to care, and willing to admit mistakes and change your ways for the better!” – Jane Goodall
My mind has understood That your way is that of good. Knowing what I know, My faith is more than show.
Your path is the one that's right. I'm keeping Heaven in my sight. There's no need to search high or low - Not since knowing what it is that I know.
Looking back, I see what you've done, Since I've followed the Father and the Son. Faithfulness is a forever thing. It's to your glory that I still sing.
There have been times when I've felt weak, And I felt that I could not speak. In your presence, I feel your praise. You are the sustainer of my days.
Your truth has been revealed, Here in the moment that I've held. You move me to, and all that's good, In my guiding faith, it's been understood.
Looking back, I see what you've done, Since I've followed the Father and the Son. Faithfulness is a forever thing. It's to your glory that I still sing.
