We found ourselves in wilderness
Two thousand years ago
And knew the road to our success
Did need God’s love to grow !
A LONG WALK ( 2016 ) 2016/11/13
A man he traveled on a road, it was to Damascus
His name was Saul when he began, though now he’s Paul to us
While on that journey long ago there was a lesson learned
You can’t take credit for good deeds that you have not yet earned !
LONG LAST ROAD ( 2016 ) 2016/02/11
I have wept alone but a million tears
And battled with close to a thousand fears
I have argued in vain a hundred ways
And struggled and lost for too many days.
I have wakened often in darkest night
The victim of unreasonable fright
I have said my prayers aloud to my God
And have asked for aid and a gentle prod.
I am sure that He will always be there
Through the bleakest night or a day quite fair
I shall beg His help to carry my load
And to stay with me on this last long road !
I’M NOT LOST ( 2015 ) 2015/07/30
I have trod a perilous path in my search for the Lord
And have paid a precious price much more than I could afford
I left my old world behind in search of His peace and grace
Knowing well in advance that I can never see His face.
Now the love of the Lord is beside me where ere I go
And the moments that He guides me are what I’ve come to know
The road is longer than I thought, much greater is its cost
It doesn’t matter what it takes without Him I am lost !
ROCKY ROAD ( 2015 ) 2015/07/29
Sometimes the road is rocky, sometimes it’s dusty too
Sometimes it’s filled with traffic, sometimes there’s but a few
Along life’s road there’s trouble perhaps no happy end
This is no simple matter for each must find a friend
With all the grit and dirt, the rocks, pebbles and each stone
God never meant for us that we travel on alone !
GOD’S WATCHDOGS ( 2015 ) 2015/04/29
Sometimes I think I hear the angels sing
Quite like the sound of gentle whispering
I’ve never heard the flutter of their wings
Though it might add to our imaginings !
I do not think I’ll ever get to see
Those angel faces watching over me
There in the shadow of our ecstasy
Where they are veiled in anonimity.
I am prepared to trust they are all here,
God’s helpful watchdogs with their mission clear
To seek and find as each last path appears
The journey follows without mortal fears !
INJUSTICE ( 2014 ) 2014/08/09
Winds of fate at the edge of space
Whisper sounds that are out of place
They signal all that we are lost
With none to count the total cost !
We need renew our faith again
Or find a path to where and when
This chore appears to be a task
Perhaps too much for us to ask!
