A Little Daffodil

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
A little yellow daffodil
Was born one April day
And with a smile poked out her head
And shouted, “Spring! Hooray!”

I’ve come to open up my blooms
No time to waste or hide
And Then I have to grow my leaves
And stretch roots on every side

But when the sun was called to bed
And soft shadows came to creep
Our little tired daffodil
Laid down her head to sleep

“O child” God said and gently smiled
“I know there’s lots to do
But now just resting in my arms
Is what is best for you!”

The Shepherd’s Voice

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
The voice of the shepherd
It rings crystal clear
It skips on the hilltops
And in the valley I hear

Stay close Stay close
As close as you can
For this journey ahead
You must stick to My plan

Then I turned and I saw
The wound in His side
And I trusted the voice
Of my Shepherd who died

Stay close Stay close
As close as my heart
On this narrow way
We won't travel apart

Stay close Stay close
Whatever may come
For the rough road ahead
Is the way that leads home!

Anxious for Nothing!

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment 
Be anxious for nothing
Wrote Saint Paul from the jail
Give God every worry each fear and detail
Remember to thank Him and praise from your heart
For He has been watching our life from the start

And He answers with peace greater than we can know
His love gives us rest
In Christ Jesus we hope

So if you are passing through sorrows and tests
Put it all in His hands
Only God knows what's best!
