REMEMBER. Composed for Graham & Allison heading to Japan

Ten thousand miles across the world,
So far and yet so near,
From rising sun to where it sets,
Remember "I AM" here.

Though times you may feel lonely,
And you miss your friends so dear,
Just turn and talk to Jesus,
Remember, He is near.

When language seems a burden,
And you miss the A-Z.
Communication's vital,
Remember what He said.

"With you I will be always
Until the end of time"
Don't think that He'll desert you,
Remember, He's sublime.

When satan gets too tight a grip
And you need him kept at bay,
You'll always have one weapon,
Remember, you can pray.

Your family life's a witness,
On that, you'll be judged too,
By those within that nation, but
Remember, He's with you.

So when you feel downhearted
Remember that we care,
And though we're half a world away,
Remember, He is there.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now  ...
