Oh Lord of my creation Yea, I know that You exist For all the souls that ever lived Not one that You have missed A firm touch upon my heart Or a word that turned my ear How can one not know You are When it's shone that You are here I would not renounce my Lord For you died upon the cross So now we know what we did We may grieve upon our loss But You have washed away our sins With the blood that You have shed And any time that we have want You will become our broken bread If I could let go in need And release my worldly things You would lead me stronger forth To meet the King of kings The poorest man on the earth Is rich with the Mighty Prince The man who lived by his gold Has not seen his fortune since God made plans for our new lives From that time when we're conceived All He wants from each of us To know that we all believed I bared the cross at Calvary Then was nailed upon the wood Redeemed with heart hanging low From that birth I understood Walk with God in our darkness Raise the lights where you may roam Spread the word of Jesus Christ Only then, He'll take us home Gnashing teeth do not amaze Nor those with beating breasts God will know whose heart is true And so that will be our test When I think I know my God To ignore His plans for me Would I follow my own path That right now I cannot see Remind me that my time is short I won't know when it is due Surrender now I am redeemed And forever live with You [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 04-11-2001).] |

Thank you for lifting my spirits early this morning. I have been so discouraged and this just made me realize I am not alone! Thank you, Walt. Kathleen Blake |

Walt~ What a refreshing write to begin the day. 'Remind me my time is short I won’t know when it is due' All He asks is that we believe each day - for each day could be His due day. Thank you, Walt~ ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Well done! If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Col 3:1-2 Live for love. Without love, you don't live. |

Certainly a write that speaks to the heart and soul. These two lines were particularly significant to me: "If I could let go in need And release my worldly things" Good job! "I am not now that which I have been." |

This whole poem is magnifico. However, my fav parts are in the last 2 Tony Stanzas. "...Would I follow my own path That right now I cannot see..." "...Remind me that my time is short I won't know when it is due...." This poem tells me that sometimes life is right in front of me but I just cant touch it. If you live life like its about to end, then your life will begin. Very explosive poem and I thank you. |
