The Eternal Lifeguard

The floodwaters rise

As the rain falls down

He said, “Take my hand,

Lest you care to drown.

 

I’ll be your rock.

I’ll help you stand.

I’ll lead you to

Higher, dry land

 

Don’t put your trust

In this world so grande

Coz, in the end,

It’s just sinking sand

 

Trust in me.

I’ll show you the way.

Let’s leave this gloom

For a brighter day.”

 

As He stretched out His hand

I stretched mine out too.

I said, “I am Yours.

I commit my life to You.”

 

He hauled me to safety

Away from the storm

A feat, no other,

But He, could perform

 

Tucked under His wing

Safe from all harm

Sheltered in a place

Of peace and of calm.

The Reason I Write

I made a commitment

Back in the day

To write for God

Come what may

 

When I’m feeling down

And my thoughts are bleak

I tune into God

And let Him speak

 

When I’m confused

Not knowing where to turn

He gives me words

He helps me to learn

 

When I’m flying high

And life seems a breeze

These words I write

My God to please

 

In the end, my prayer

Is that He will use me

To draw people to Christ

To bring liberty

 

To encourage fellow Christians

Walking the same narrow road

That they might see truth

And be rid of their load

 

If people can be changed

By the words that I write

Then that’s another battle won

In this life-long fight

 

There’s no other prize

No great gain

Victory’s assured

It has not been in vain.

While I Wait

Lord, You said, “Wait.”

So I sat down again,

And I began to ponder,

“How much longer then?”

 

Then I prayed,

 

“Lord, you know what’s best.

You love us both dearly.

Please grant us wisdom

And eyes that see clearly.

 

Help us to honour You

Through what we do and say.

May we always be friends

Come what may.

 

Lord, until the time comes

Please help me to wait.

Let my trust be in You –

You’re never late.

 

Lord, watch over her daily.

Help her to grow in You.

Encourage and keep her.

Bless her anew.

 

Lord, make me the man

That You’d have me be.

I give You my all –

Shape and mold me.

 

And, Lord, if in Your will

You bring us together,

May our commitment be

To each other forever.

 

You know our hearts.

You know what You’ll do.

So, this, my prayer,

I commit to You.

 

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen
