Fleeing to the Lord

Deliver me, O Lord, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me. Psalm 143:9 KJV

Flee - it's such a weakling word
A fearful, shameful thought
But I'm running Lord to You
With all the strength I've got

Like David I'm surrounded by
Things I don't understand
So let me come to hide in You
Just as You always planned!

Just a Few More Miles

It’s been fifty years of marriage dear
Now you know my math’s not strong
But that’s two thousand and six hundred weeks
If my calculator is not wrong

And with leap years and those quarter days
The months slip by so fast
It’s hard to count the meals you’ve cooked
And the birthdays that have passed

Paying the electric bills
The joy of Christmas each December
And teaching boys to pray and trust
Oh our loving God remembers

And walks with us down all the roads
Through hardships and our trials
Let’s finish well and trust Him still
For there’s just a few more miles!

Hands

“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.” 
Hebrews 12:5b-6 ESV

Hands aren’t just made for spanking 
Or for pulling on our ears
They’re also made for holding ours 
And drying all our tears

They pick us up when we fall down
And hold us up us in prayer
At night they tuck us in to sleep
And gently stroke our hair

But the hands I love the most
Were nailed to the cross
Where Jesus took away my sins
So I would not be lost!
