(Based on Matthew 18:20 and Hebrews 2:10-13)


Where two or three are gathered
There in the Savior's Name,
You might not have seen Him
But be sure that another come.

The one who sanctifies us
To be God's People here,
Is not ashamed of His Brethren
But rather, holds us near and dear.

We as His Possession
His body and family,
He joyously identifies Himself
Happy to God for you and me.

Thus when we come to praise Him
And only a few turn out,
Remember, He too, is present
So just praise Him with a shout!

Praise God in the Highest
From Whom all Blessings flow,
Be thankful that we have Jesus with us
And do all to make it show!


No Better Place do I know
Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!

Very fine! Puts me in mind, well the last line did, to the young people today. During children's moments, three were fighting vehemently over who would hold the handle to the wagon they were going to pull down the aisle to accept gifts for mission's offering. The man who was giving the c.m. had to intervene so the disagreement would be over. Then those same three children joined the young people's ensemble and sang a song, Show and Tell, which was about showing the world how much one loved Jesus and telling them, too. Yep, they were little children, one 3rd grader and the other two 6th graders. Yet how much are we too often just like them. Showing non-brotherly love, while professing loving God. Pardon me for going on and on, I think I just felt like I wanted to express these thoughts about today and your poem brought it up again to the front of my thinking.

david, this is so true and expressed so well. It only takes two to agree and his will be done. He is with those of us who seek Him and He will guide us in His Holy way. so inspiring as well. Love, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

How true your words are David....Did you by any chance have ' divine intervention ' with this?

Very nicely written and thought out.God is lucky to have you as his servant.

David,

Your poem compliments the scriptures you have chosen very well.... We are certainly priviledged to acknowledge Jesus in our midst wherever we go....... It's wonderful that God is with us. Praise the Lord!!!!! Bob <><

So true, not just with us when we have 2 or more, but all the time.

He does let the blessings flow don't He?

Great poem David!
