He had walked on water
Given life to the dead
He had fed five thousand
With five loaves of bread
But on the Cross
At His Father’s will
Jesus gave His life
While the world stood still
And the soldiers gambled
For the clothes He wore
His disciples trembled
Behind locked doors
But by His side
One thief believed
And Mary wept
As He struggled to breath
And the thunder roared
And the darkness fell
Then He cried “Forgive!”
And the world stood still

Letting go of memories
And walking on alone
Is a lesson God must teach
To show us we’re not home
But if we’re clinging tightly to
What we possess today
God reminds that up ahead
Our children watch our way
And learn from us how they should live
By the time we give to them
How in letting we’re reaching out
And holding on to Him

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead,I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14 ESV
Woe is Me and It’s all Mine
Skipped to the park one day
While Jimmy-Gimme tagged along
To demand his right to play
And they all laughed how Sister Faith
Agreed to stay at home
To mop the floor and wash the plates
So, they left her there alone
First Jimmy climbed up on the swing
“Gimme a push!” he cried.
But Me and Mine ignored Him and
Went whooshing down the slide
Till strutted up IKnow-it-All
With Big Bro Mockery
Along with Violence sliding in
Each smiling wickedly
The sisters shook in dread but then
Sweet Faith rushed to the scene
And without fear went toe to toe
And stood there in between
She looked into his eyes until
Mockery slunk away
Soon followed byI Know-it-All
Yet Violence chose to stay
Then from a sheath he drew His blade
But Faith spoke quietly
Your weapon will not work today
Our Father protects me
So Violence just shrugged and said
"I’ll be back." and off he paced
Then Little Jimmy ran and threw
His arms ‘round sister’s waist
While Me and Mine each took Faith’s arms
With smiles that come from Heaven
To see their family all restored
With Faith all sins forgiven!
