Once I dreamed That you rode a bicycle While I drove a car We traveled some of the same roads At different speeds Our vehicles took us Down similar paths But with different ease You had to peddle Your way up those hills Using much more effort To just go one mile Then it took me drive One full day I had my struggles too Sometimes I neglected My engine And I would run out of fuel And I'd find myself Walking Searching to find The things that I needed To keep the motor running So I could get to my destination On time and intact No matter what was needed It always could be fixed By the master mechanic He lovingly fixed it for me Just for the asking His service was free His name is Jesus He loves us like no one else can He wants to help you stop peddling He wants to give you a car It will run faithfully If you give it some fuel The road may not always be smooth But it will be easier by far Then peddling a bike Over hilly terrain Just call on Jesus He knows you by name When you give him your life It will change [This message has been edited by Songbird (edited 04-11-2001).] |

Songbird, Your poem reminds me of when I was a child... I worked during the summers and bought myself the best touring bicycle that money could buy. I never thought that I would ever need a car. As I grew older, I fixed up an old junker 65 mustang. Once I experienced driving, the bike became rusty and fell apart because I never desired to return to it. It is kind of like looking at Christianity. One really never knows how good it is until you try it and then there is no desire to return to the old ways of living. Thank you for your wonderful analogy of comming to Christ. I do believe it is just as you stated. Bob <>< |
