Consider the Ravens

Mary Lichlyter

Consider the Ravens

Lord, according to thy words,
I have considered thy birds;
And I find their life good,
And better the better understood:
Sowing neither corn nor wheat
They have all that they can eat;
Reaping no more than they sow
They have more than they could stow;
Having neither barn nor store,
Hungry again, they eat more...

What Makes Summer

George MacDonald

What Makes Summer

Winter froze both brook and well; 
Fast and fast the snowflakes fell; 
Children gathered round the hearth
Made a summer of their mirth;

The Thankless Lady

Leighton Isaacs

The Thankless Lady

It is May, and the moon leans down at night
    Over a blossomy land; 
Leans from her window a lady white, 
    With her cheek upon her hand.

Shadows: Poem by George MacDonald, Painting by Leighton Isaacs, Recited by David Jack

All things are shadows of thee, Lord;
The sun himself is but thy shade;
My spirit is the shadow of thy word,
A thing that thou hast said.

Love is Strength: Music Video

Love is Strength: Music Video

Near the end of Love is Strength, George MacDonald wrote
"Little ones, no ill can chance; Fear ye not, but sing and dance;" and those words inspired the extraordinary Christian songwriter Joel Stamoolis to create an uptempo setting for the poem.

The Giver

George MacDonald

The Giver

To give a thing and take again
Is counted meanness among men; 
To take away what once is given
Cannot then be the way of heaven!

Make Me a Broad Strong River

Leighton Isaacs
March 27, 2016
Make Me a Broad Strong River

Make me a broad strong river coming down
With shouts from its high hills, whose rocky hearts
Throb forth the joy of their stability
In watery pulses from their inmost deeps...

That Holy Thing

George MacDonald

That Holy Thing

They all were looking for a king
To slay their foes and lift them high;
Thou cam'st, a little baby thing
That made a woman cry...

The Prayer Flower from Lilith and A Song from Phantastes

But I did see that the flower was different from any flower I had seen before... (Lilith)

Thou goest thine and I go mine--
Many ways we wend... (Phantastes)

Love is Strength

George MacDonald

Love is Strength

Love alone is great in might,
Makes the heavy burden light,
Smooths rough ways to weary feet,
Makes the bitter morsel sweet:
   Love alone is strength!
