More grace
Some of my religiously-themed poems are more than 10 years old, but they, like the subject, are still in effect after all these years.
Naked Thoughts
Even with my clothes on,
I ‘m naked before you, Lord.
You know my thoughts before
I think.
You kmow my every move before
I blink.
I pray to make your thoughts mine.
Help me to keep my steps in time
with your forgiveness and grace.
I pray to let my soul’s peace
show by the smile on my face.
Candle in the Dark
He lights the candle in the dark
and the light it sheds goes far.
Farther than any man could see.
It illuminates the path to eternity.
He has walked the journey before.
He was here when the world was born.
Jesus preached of a God of peace,
and that His father was in reach.
He said there was a choice to make.
Live forever with love or die in hate.
Surrender the world as your sacrifice.
Jesus did more. He gave his life.
But He came back to light the candle
in the dark. It was bright as a star.
The light will guide anyone to see
the wisdom, the glory and power eternally.
Just Pray
Make a long d.istance call
without any wires.
It doesn’t cost much to
talk to the Lord.
One operator, Jesus, is a direct line
Which is open anytime of day.
Just pray, and the burden
of your problems
will surely go away.
