I've Heard Whispers
~Marge Tindal~ 1999

I've heard whispers of a man,
who gave his life for me.
The stories meet me on the hills
of sweet reverie.

They tell me that he passed this way,
I searched, but did not find
the man of whom they speak,
is he only in my mind?

I go from place to place
I cannot find the man.
Tell me have you seen him,
somewhere across this land?

I look, I seek, I ask his path.
It's more than I can bear.
They smile at me and shake their heads
and say they know not where.

I travel the weary darkness,
this day has been the worst.
Tell him I am seeking him,
if you should meet him first.

You’ll see His footprints in the dew
Or after early rain
And sense His presence in the gloom
Of deep, enduring pain
And after death has touched your life
Or been inside your home
You’ll find His gentle comfort
When you are all alone
Art seeking ‘cause you’re weary?
And fears and doubts abound
Somewhere in the shadows
Jesus will be found.

Live large, people!

Slinger - That's lovely. Thank you so much.

I wearied of searching,
no more able to roam.
Then HE FOUND ME ...
now, I'm not alone.

The tales were all true ...
This day is no longer the worst.
You must have met him on the trail
and sent him to quench my thirst.

Marge - What a wonderful piece this is. We really are never all alone. He always manages one way or another to let us know He is there.

Yesterday is history,
tomorrow just a mystery.
And if today is good to me,
it will beat the heck out of day before yesterday!
