 Poems

An Interrupted Walk

Was walking with
my Lord one day,
so sweet the walk
if I might say.

My eyes caught two
that struggled some,
and I asked for them
that help would come.

A word He gave
I knew was good,
so I shared and hoped
they understood.

Perhaps the word
would help them see
how sweet their walk
could also be.

So far it seems
they struggle still;
not sure it’s helped
or if it will.

And now I find
I’m in between,
and wonder much
what does it mean.

Was I right the word
with them to share?
Was I right to act –
do more than care?

Was the word You gave
for me alone;
to strengthen me
as we walked along?

Right or wrong
I cannot say;
all that’s sure
is I should pray.

Help them Lord
as they’re Your own,
to hear the truth
that has been sewn.

Satan’s role
with lies to steal,
the truth – our life
which kills the deal.

He prompts a thought
and begins to talk;
his sights are set –
‘An Interrupted Walk’.

 Re: Poems

In God's plan and purpose; there are no
interuptions, just opportunities to speak
His truth in love and share the gospel of
His grace.

 Re: Poems

A Cry for His Presence

Reaching heavenward
With sighs and tears
Longing for a glimpse of Your glory

I have read the stories
And I have desired
To live it

An outpouring of Your presence
Though it leave me in the dust
Face down and trembling
Over the sinfulness of such a frail creature as myself
Before a holy, holy, holy God

Turn Your face toward me, oh God
And look upon Your daughter
See the yearning in my heart
To know You

Oh that You would rend the heavens
And pour out Your glory
My heart aches, it breaks with longing
As I eagerly await the day

Whether in life or death
The day I will see Your glory
When I will know
Even as I am known

How long, Oh Lord?
How long?

 Re:

The Masters Call


You made the sun and the moon
And all this with Love
You put the stars in the heavens
And the clouds high above

I see the mountains so high
They stand in your name
I see the birds in the sky
I hear them sing of your fame

Man praises man for painting these things
Yet it is because of God that the bird sings
Open your eyes and watch the dolphin dance upon the waves
Open your heart and know that our creator Jesus saves

Watch a baby crawl
Hear a man laugh and sing
See a mothers tears of anguish
And know that life is not a simple thing
To laugh, to cry, to feel, to see
I am truly amazed just to be

To hear, to touch, to breathe, to sigh
A walking miracle from the one on high.
As you live your lives no matter where
Dancing or crying, always be aware
Its better to have lived than not at all
For this is your chance to hear the Masters call.

 Re: Poems

What Greater Love

What greater love was ever shown
than the love was shown for me;
while yet in sin and dead to Him
He chose to set me free.

He saw in me my helpless state –
had compassion for my need;
His love would take Him to the cross
and on it He would bleed.

He gave His life that I might live –
He set His own aside;
for all the love He had for me,
He suffered, bled and died.

He saw the good through all the bad;
His love has pulled it through.
He could have justly walked away
and said, ‘I’m done with you’.

What greater love so undeserved,
yet freely He did give;
help me Lord as You have done
that I might also live.

Help me choose to see the good
as You have done with me,
and then to love and not let go
until that good I see.

MJ


Ephesians 3:17b-19 ‘And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.’

 Re:

A freind of mine just sent me this poem by Corie ten Boom. Thought I'd share it.

My life is but a weaving between my God and me,
I do not choose the colours, He works so steadily.
Oft'times He weaves in sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.

Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas, and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful in the Weaver's skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

Corrie ten Boom

 Re: Poems

O Lord,

I give you my heart,
I give you my soul,
Wherever I travel,
Wherever I go.

In darkness or light,
In pleasure of pain,
That Thou would be with me,
For no other gain.

Thy sweetness surrounds me,
Thy touch is delight,
Never to falter,
Forever upright.

I praise Thee with anthems,
Of sweet saving grace,
My heart is uplifted,
While others debase.

O come my Lord Jesus,
Thy people to free,
Please mold me and make me,
An image of Thee.

I bless Thee my Saviour,
My hearts pure delight,
O wrap me for ever,
In Thy beauteous light.

The heavens surround me,
With narry a care,
For Thou art our keeper,
Our burdens to bear.

My precious Lord Jesus,
Light of my life,
Unbounded treasure,
God's own Pure Light.

 Re: Poems

The Well

I once threw stones at the well of life;
I was blind and could not see.
And then the well made sense one day;
I wondered, ‘could it be’?

So I dropped the stones and drew in close;
tossed coins and wished to find,
this life it spoke and offered to all,
I wished to make it mine.

But a fight broke out and a battle raged
to keep me from this well;
it appeared my choice had raised the brow
of all the force of hell.

‘Stand at the wall and toss your coins,
but that’s as far as you will get.
We’ll wrap you up a million ways,
no further will we let.’

Years have passed and I must confess
that what they said, they did;
they let me stand by the well of life
but its life they somehow hid.

But now I know and clearly see,
the life I now have found;
I was finally thirsty enough to come
and would not turn around.

It is for all who will come,
if you’re thirsty come and drink;
if you’re not, there’ll be other things,
in them is life you’ll think.

You’ll stand at the well and toss your coins
and wish for abundant life;
as years fly by, you’ll wish away
while caught up in the strife.

Come to the well and do not leave
until you have been filled;
careful the voice you listen to,
lest years go by until.

MJ

 Re: Poems


Two spirits beat within my chest.
One is foul, one is blest.
One I love, one I hate.
The one I feed will dominate.

 Re: Poems

The Grace that Could be Ours

He offers grace
again and again.
But we’re busy with things;
good things our sin.

He longs to walk
and talk each day,
but we cling to things
and forfeit His grace.

So again and again
He offers it free,
knowing one day
we’ll surely see.

The things we cling
are worthless to save,
yet still we cling
till facing our grave.

Oh the grace that we all miss
by waiting until our end.
We cling to things instead of Him
and miss what could have been.


MJ
