Enjoying Life

The Best Thing To Do

Learn To Marvel

At All Around You


Emily Found It 

She Knew What Was Special

The Creation Signifying

The Creator Is Forever


She Wrote Of Botany

She Was A Genius

Not Only In One Field

But Many – She To Us


She Discounted Pretensions

What People Adulized

Discovering Friends

Among Lands And Hives


She Noted Duly

Carlo Assented

Why Life Astounded

And How To Spend It


Careful To Protect

Her Orbit De Amherst

She Wrote For Fun

Wonders Displayed At Rest


Her Writings Vivacious

Full Of Much Vitality

She Wrote As A Victor

Via Much Sentimentality


She Vectored Her Scope

It Ventured To Eternal

A Timeless Machine

Over Affairs Nocturnal


She Saw God As Present

Unto Thee ? Me ?

Occupy My House

“Pardon” Replied Kindly


Fingertips On Pages

Of Scripture Ready

To Quote And Reference

Her Discoveries Aplenty


Dictionary Her Friend

Her Family All Present

Housework Rendered

For Father’s Treasure


Amherst Founded

A Balance To Harvard

The Bible Inspires

The Word Is Life

It Gives Eternally

Freely Tonight !


Emily Wasn’t Afraid

To Mine The Bible

She Discovered Herself

Why There Is No Rival


So Today Her Life

The Message I See

Is To Read For Yourself

Don’t Hesistate Please


See God Is Good

He Is Merciful

He Is Caring

Savior Wonderful


He Makes It Easy

He Knows We Are Dust

We Cannot Be Perfect

So In Him Trust


Read – You Have Time

Live Forever Free

Today Is The Day

To Finally See


The Cross He Endured

His Blood Satisfied

So Don’t Worry 

You Will Qualify


For He Did It All

God In The Flesh

He Absorbed The Wrath

So Cross Today Fast


Once We Do

We Are Under Grace

Covered Front-Back 

Swimming In Space


Jump In Now

The Water Is Fine

Baptized By The Spirit

Believing Is Sublime


You Are Justified

You Have Been Covered

Standing Now Assured

Full Confidence Under


For We Can Approach

God Now In Victory

Jesus Is The Mediator

He Gives Us The Remedy


He Is Our Defender

Against The Adversary

Speaking To God For Us

The Accuser – A Canary


We Can Look Up

We Don’t Need To Hide

But Without Reading Bible

We Never Know How – Why


For The World Is Satan’s Now

And Under His Sway

Conventional Wit Towers

Never Read The Bible – Nay


But Food For The Soul 

That Is What Is Needed

We Don’t Live On Bread Alone

But Nutrients Of Him – Seeded


We Are Missing Something

In This World Of Plenty

The Word Of God Is Life

Grab It Then Come Get Me


We Can Discover Together

Read The Verses Alone First

Then Together Aloud

See What Pops Forth


Go To Salvation Passages

To Square It All Away

Make Sure You Understand

This Heaven Is Free – Always


The Bible Is Slandered

The Message Clouded

It’s Not A List Of Don’ts

It’s A Message Shrouded


Let It Speak To You

The Mysteries Unfolded

The Glaring Testimonies

Are There To Beholden


The Discoveries Are Personal

But For Your Treasure

We Can Soar Above

This Veil Of Tears Forever


God Claims He Is Jealous

Of You At This Moment

If That Doesn’t Move You

The Ear Hears In Silent


Hairs On Head Numbered

He Knows Where You Are

Knows When You Sleep 

The Trouble – Near And Far


He Can Intercede

With A Thought Into Mind

Or Send An Angel

To Snatch You In Time


A Man Plans In His Heart

On Which Way To Go

God Determined His Steps

Where He Should Grow


Lead Me – Guide Me

The Psalmist Prayer

Not My Will But Yours

Is Best – As Jesus Dared


So There Is Hope 

Abundant Life Now

Feeding On Him

Emily Found The Hour
