A Knock on the Door 

A knock on the door I heard straight away
Someone crying May I come in today

Afraid to respond to them right away
Fearing they may want to extend their stay

The same annoying knock came day after day
Forcing response in an unwanted way

I cracked the door and what did my eyes see
The shining light of love standing before me

I cried out GOD Why have YOU chosen me
 You are made in MY Image can’t you see

I felt Warm LOVE I’ve never felt before
I wish I hadn’t tarried so long in opening the door

The Life of CHRIST 

The Life of CHRIST is what I would like to see
So that I might follow in his footsteps and be set free

Where do I look for this life foreign to me
I suspect the scriptures would be the Key 

Another would be, one who has found the way
They can point you to HIS Footprints I Pray

When you see them in the distance afar
Don’t give up, Keep traveling closer to the star

When you reach close enough for HIS love to feel 
Bow your head and thank HIM as you kneel

Rope of Faith 

When we accept Jesus Christ we are connected to God by a safety Rope
He will never let us fall

To get closer to him we have to climb the Rope of FAITH
We climb by reading His word
Praying 
Fellowship with fellow Christians 
Love others as we love ourselves 
Love others as CHRIST Loved us
Serve others as CHRIST Served us
Care for the Orphans and Widows
Uplift and take care of the poor
Mourn with those that mourn
Plus many others that Christ exhibited while here on earth

Are we satisfied where we are or
do we want to climb higher to feel his GLORY and WONDROUS GRACE

WE ARE NEVER AFRAID TO CLIMB HIGHER
HE WILL NEVER LET US FALL INTO THE FIRE

 The Ocean

If love is vast like an ocean, how do we set sail
JESUS walked on water and HE did not fail

Maybe HE’S is the one that we are looking for
To guide us to that GREAT far off distant shore

The GOOD BOOK said he had  Faith in HIS FATHER
That’s what gave HIM the ability to walk on water

If we can find enough Faith to hold HIS HAND
It will be an easy walk to that far-off land

Little Sparrow 

Painting by Spike O’Dell W4WGN Brentwood Tennessee
I’m a little sparrow
His eye is always on me

I can’t read 
But that’s what they tell me

I know it’s true what they say
I can feel him around me every day

I feed my children in the nest
I feel so very blest

One day when my children leave the nest
They will do their very best

His eye will be on them all the day
He will watch over them the entire way 

I know this to be true
Because HE Watches over Me and You
