Hands of Life

On By gaillovesgodIn 2019, Uncategorized5 Comments

The many hands of life
Reaching out to drown me.
I’m already sinking,
But they still seek to down me.
The many hands of God
Reaching out to me through others.
They seek to uplift me,
My fellow sisters and brothers.
The many hands around me,
Fighting to have their say.
You are the One I cling to,
And I follow You all the way.
Whether I sink or swim,
Live or drown,
I’m in Your hands,
And am heaven bound.

Rising In Joyful Song

On By gaillovesgodIn 2019, UncategorizedLeave a comment

Following You, I yearn to see
Whatever it is You yearn to see before me.
Following close I hear Your smile.
I enjoy every blessed mile.
Continuing on we walk the way,
You tell me You have something to say.
You love my heart with You in it.
You’ve enjoyed every minute,
But now You’ve come to take me home.
We start to rise in joyful song.

Keeping Christ First

On By gaillovesgodIn 2012Leave a comment

Keeping Christ first
is the key to everything.
For in following Him,
obedience it will bring.
So many challenges
of this world will arise.
The wisdom hard to find
is in keeping our eyes on Christ.
People are the most challenging.
Do we shun or reach?
Just follow Christ.
Our testimony will preach.
In the end it is Christ
we are to trust and obey.
Seeking to please Him
in every way.

Hand in Hand With You

On By gaillovesgodIn 2011, Uncategorized4 Comments

You’re leading. I’m following,
or at least I’m trying.
You’re speaking. I’m listening,
or at least sighing.
Your pathways can be many,
yet one at a time.
Your lamp is shining.
Help me follow the light.
You’re teaching. I’m learning,
or trying to be discerning.
You’re guiding. I’m trailing
while trying to avoid failing.
Stay close by with guard rails.
Your perfect love never fails.
Hand in hand with You,
I know we’ll make it through.
