Be Still

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment 
Be still and know that I am God
I hear my Savior say
But yet instead
Just like a child
I often run away

I run until my legs give out
And I hold my aching sides
With heaving breaths
And weary arms
I can't another stride

Then comes His gentle voice again
Inviting me to come
To learn His way
To take His yoke
And rest in Him alone

In the Wounds Doubt Disappeared

 In the garden at the dawn
In darkness doubt and tears
He called Mary first and then
To the others He appeared

But Thomas was not there
And said “I won’t believe
That Jesus is alive
Till I can touch his scars and see”

He kept doubting till the day
At his table Christ appeared
And called him come to touch His wounds
And in those wounds doubt disappeared

A Sparrow’s Wings

That I should pray and not give up
The Bible made it plain
But when problems seemed too great
I often just complained

Till as I sat alone one day
A sparrow hopped right down
With just one leg he seemed so odd
As he ate the crumbs he’d found

Then when he had finished lunch
He started up to sing
And when the breeze began to blow
He lifted up His wings! 

One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up. 
Luke 18:1 NLT
