"Mary has chosen that good part which will not be taken away from her."
THE BETTER PART
The Holy Spirit like falling rain
Reviving my soul once again
This is the healing of my heart
Oh let me choose the better part
More of Him, less of me
Worry and fear from me flee
Timeless beauty within me fills
Knowing God is being still
In His presence He slows time
And creates the renewal of my mind
Strength returns and I rise again
In this your revival rain
The schemes of the enemy will pass
All of his plans will not last
They will not distract me from the race
I run ahead with strength and faith
Joy rises up, my heart rejoices
And stills all of the other voices
Peace rolls in like waves all around
My feet barely touch the ground
With gratitude I run with joy and tears
For He has delivered me from all my fears
This is the reason I am living
Knowing how much I am forgiven
With his wounds I have been healed
With his grace I have been sealed
Death is defeated, I no longer fear it
I have been sealed by The Holy Spirit
This is His story, the one I can tell
How I was plucked from the pits of hell
Oh God of Mercy, God of Grace
This is my story , It is my faith
Jesus called me tenderly in the night
All that was shattered He made right
Death was crouching at my door
I love Him so, He loves me more
Beyond all reason, all comprehension
This is the joy of my salvation
From His arms I will never slip
I am kept firmly In His Grip

"I tell you, her sins-and they are many- have been forgiven,
So she has shown me much love."
He who has been forgiven little shows only little love."
-(Luke 7:47 -NIV)
