‘You’ Say

‘You’ say, “I thought ‘you’ were a Christian?!

When a flaw in me ‘you’ see

‘You’ were in the wrong!

So, why are ‘you’ yelling at me?

I didn’t talk behind ‘your’ back

With cruel barbs like ‘thee’

Oh, Yes, I heard what ‘you’ said

And I tried to let it be

But ‘someone’ kept it going

So why are ‘you’ yelling at me?

I didn’t give ‘you’ what ‘you’ wanted

Evidently that’s the key

I am not a perfect person

And have never claimed to be

I make plenty of my own mistakes

So, why are ‘you’ yelling at me?

‘You’ could hardly wait to point them out

Dear soul this ought not to be

If I was ‘you’ and I’m glad I am not

I’d take this time to repent on bended knee

And shut my mouth before the coming end

Instead of always yelling at me!

For someday soon we will all stand together

Inside of forever’s vast eternity

We’ll be called before the only Judge of this universe

The Books will be opened for each to see

Then with the truth of our lives being revealed

Which one will be in the wrong? ‘you’ or me?

A Taste of the Wilderness

Most of the time we think life is okay

We, as mortals, can usually find our way

Then comes the great life-changing needs

That knocks us to our ungrateful knees

We flounder under the unending stress

When faced with a taste of the wilderness.

Just like God’s children of old

Who built the forbidden calf of gold

They could not wait just one more day

For Mose’s to show them the Father’s way

Turning their backs on the land of promise

When faced with a taste of the wilderness.

People have not changed in all these years

Hardships are still here along with the tears

But we must never give up or ever turn back

Into the world of bondage to sin and of lack

Always seeking the path that God will bless

When faced with our own taste of the wilderness.

Unseen Hands

Invisible love of unseen hands

Unfold the blankets of the heart

Layers of doubt-wrinkles of shame

Imbedded woes of long ago

Trapped images of fleeting wrongs

Gathered like straw within the mind

Forbidding the joy to be free

One by one the faults are driven

Far from the shattered spirits

To a place of wholeness, within

Realms of hope with blessed peace

Where unseen hands caress

With tender touches of grace

Knitting forgiveness of self

To the hurts of others

Going beyond what needs to be

To belong once again

Where the beautiful memories

Of only the good doth dwell.

Journey’s End

Today is the unseen image of yesterday’s child

Birthed by moments which come without end

Chains of seconds merge to make the new

As fading golden rays of the sun descend.

Steps upon steps follow within the given pace

Leading to the path that will constantly send

Mortals over the rocky trails of deepest need

To the calm smooth roads that should have been.

“Where will this day take us?” life does ask

As darkness dances upon the swirling wind

The minutes and hours question troubled thoughts

Quiet musings wander across the mind dear friend.

How will todays choices affect our eternal date?

With all the unknown just around the bend

Have we made the best use of our alloted time?

For the coming tomorrow may just be our journey’s end.

In All Thy Ways

Proverbs 3:5,6 (5) Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. (6) In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (KJV)

Acknowledge the LORD in all thy ways

And He will direct your paths

Washing clean your sin-stained past

With the shed blood of Calvary

Mighty angels He could have called

Turned away not cared at all

But the glory before Him was all He could see

So He went to the cross for a sinner like me.

The Great I AM had called Him home

The sins of this world for us atoned

Now we’ll give Him all honor and praise

Acknowledging the LORD in all of our ways

And whatever we do, we’ll know it’s true

God’s grace is sufficient for me and you

He will carry our burdens all for free

He has paid the price on an old wooden tree.

Destiny’s Walk

Over rough roads and dangerous curves

Falling sometimes losing our nerve

“Keep looking forward,” we hear destiny say

“The past can never go this way!”

Ignoring the frivolous thoughts of fear

And benign senses, when we come near

We travel onward where miracles exist

On destiny’s walk there are no ‘as is.’

Renewing hope, not settling for less

No ‘maybes’, no ‘never minds’, or ‘what if’s’

Standing strong when put to the test

We let faith do-what faith does best.

With sureness of spirit we simply go on

Getting this life’s eternal work done

We lift up our heads, give God our hands

Knowing for certain -He knows the plan.

For He, with all His marvelous ways

Keeps every moment, fills all of our days

His hands are not idle, nor useless His talk

His WORD after all, creates ‘destiny’s walk’.

A Friend for Eternal Life

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.

By Heaven’s Light

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.
