Sowing Seed

 He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthians 9:10 ESV

When our cupboards all were empty
And my heart’s shelves were looking bare
I heard a voice speaking behind me
“Take your seed and plant it there

There in the desert place is flowing
A Living Stream so fresh and free
And in those parched forgotten places
God may choose to grow a tree

For though the ground is dry and hardened
The soil is rich and deep and fair
And if you plant the seed you’re given
You will reap the harvest there!

The Doorway

I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 
John 10:9 ESV

The first door I remember
My mom opened up for me
And there I ate the things she cooked
And learned my A-B-C’s

Me and mom 1952
The next lead to a classroom
With a teacher waiting there
It was exciting meeting other kids
Though they whispered and they stared

Past the third door was my family
And we journeyed through the years
As all of us grew older
We shared struggles, joys and tears
So now there is just one more door
But it I will not fear
Because under it shines a light 
And songs of angels sounding near

And God knows that we are wondering
When we must His schedule keep
But we can trust our Shepherd’s time
 For every blood bought sheep!

And For the Road Ahead

Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
    for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go,
    for to you I lift up my soul.
Psalm 143:8 ESV
Our God who lit the sun on fire
Who stirs the wrath of hurricanes
Also made the joyful child
Eager to see dawn’s flames

For When our hearts feel cold and dead
In joy our God prepared
A day when stones roll back from tombs
And for the road ahead
