He Still Calls

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
In the mockingbird’s melody
And the rain when it falls 
Or alone in night seasons
Behind our four walls

He comes and He speaks
And He knocks at our door
Then calls out our name
Just as He’s done before

For those who awaken
And answer, “My Lord!
We Your servants are listening.”
He has treasures in store!


And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. 
Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 
1 Samuel 3:10 KJV

The Good Shepherd’s Staff

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
My Lord leads as a shepherd to deep meadows green
Then down gentle pathways to a still quiet stream
And when sin beckons, He tells me to walk
On the straight narrow way through the cleft in the rock

Then on through the valley of shadows and tears
His rod and His staff comfort all of my fears
No matter what dangers we find ahead
We'll feast at His table where a banquet is spread

Though I'm reminded of all I’ve done wrong
His goodness and mercy still follow along
For the Cross that He bore is the Good Shepherd’s staff
And the key to His home at the end of the path!


The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want 
Psalm 23:1 KJV

The Swallow’s Nest

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
The swallow’s nest was hidden
Up above the bales of hay
And as I opened up the door 
She quickly swooped away

She thinks it is not possible
That I could be her friend
Though it was I who built this barn
Where each Spring she comes again

And can’t believe her little ones
Are safe when I draw near
Nor knows I listen with a smile
When I their voices hear

Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds
Luke 12:24 NKJV
