Darkness tries to peer beyond the light
To find life’s invisible curtains
Folded into the next quadrant
Within the squares of conceivable time
Never to show itself as we know it
Marching as to a tune in four-seconds
Beating a rhythm not new to us
Calling then answering ‘whosoever will’
No matter the day nor the number
Written on the next accountable page
All shall stand alone before God
His Truth to forever see
Bound by the choices made
Among the eternal shadows of time.
Bound by eternity ties ever strong
Keep pulling forward-to further along
Windows of time, through open doors
Forever guided by our expansion of more.
Needs ever filling, needs never met
Comparing the two, it’s not over yet!
Taking and giving replacing the void
Time never spent, hurts to avoid.
Eyes toward the future seeing no end
Mortals walking, souls to ascend
Lost in the darkness, calls to the light
Ever trying doing what’s right.
Heaven eternal granting the dream
Finding the river of mercy’s sweet stream
Cords of compassion, eternity bound
Forever forward-forever found.
Wandering through the pages of lost time
Across the traces of memories yours and mine
What was I thinking when I did that?
Or, Where was I going as the die was cast?
Grateful hearts then carry us on
Over the ridges of hardened stone
Enduring the valleys to scale mountain heights
Keeping the skies of heaven ever in sight
Climbing always upward with eyes on the goal
His redeeming grace surrounding the soul
Finding at last this safe place to be
Alongside Jesus as He walks with me.
The Guidepost Family Concordance describes a friend as ‘one highly esteemed’ (pg271). Proverbs 17:17a says: ‘A friend loveth at all times,’ (KJV)and in John 15:13-15 we read where Jesus is telling His Disciples that they are His friends and He theirs. John15: (13)Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (14) Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. (15) Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I haved called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known to you. (KJV). Here He is telling them they have to lay down their own agendas and obey His commands so they can have the revelation knowledge He recieves from the Father. Oh how sweet to be in such communion with the Son of God and to be considered a ‘Friend for Eternal Life’.
A Friend for Eternal Life
To a dieing world He came
Hung on a cross, bore the shame
Gave us a love that will never die
But, still there’s some who don’t know why.
He comes for the poor, the beaten down
Walks the backstreets of every town
Picks up the fallen, forgives the sin
Touches the hearts of mortal men.
He dries the tears, eases the strife
Becomes a friend for eternal life
Cleanses the harlot, washes the bum
Tells of a brighter life to come.
He loves this people, this sinful earth
So he searches the heart finds the worth
Changes life makes it worth living
Sometimes taking but always giving.
A Friend called Jesus, God’s only Son
Was and is the Savior of everyone
Now you know there isn’t any doubt
He’s the only LORD, the One it’s all about.
Shadowed lights and echoes heard
Whispers softened not by words
Lingering awareness of freedom won
Snatched from the grasp of death’s on son.
There comes a time in every life
When we all must take a stand and fight
To keep our souls from satan’s strife
To stay alive by heaven’s Light.
So we take our stand against the one
Known only as the devil’s son
No fiercer battle can be fought
But with it our freedom’s bought.
I’ve whipped the shadows in my mind
Left the echoes far behind
With lingering awareness of freedom won
Saved by grace by God’s Own Son.
