Testimony - Love lifted me

https://youtu.be/Q32CEI1NTqk



Had heard the Gospel Message

For years, week in, week out, 

In Children’s Church each Sunday

In need was I, no doubt.


Been ‘tending Church from two years

Our parents trained us well,

“Chu’ch day”  it was on Sunday, 

When dad, in bed, did lay.


For Monday, through to Saturday

He worked, to family, feed.

But rose up early Sunday

E’en though some rest, he’d need


To take the youngest threesome,

Those older, went alone,

And train them up in HIS way,

His vow, he kept it goin’.


Remember not the topic,

Of story that was  told,

But do recall the invite

E’en though was not too old.


The leader asked the question,

“If you want to know more

About this great salvation

Just stand up on the floor……


… During this invitation

The prayer that I will say

Then we will explain more, to

Show you Salvations way.”


With same aged peers around me,

All seated on their chair

No room for any other, but,

I felt a presence there


Hence, when this song, I do hear,

It brings a memory,

That Sunday morn  whene'er I felt, 

Love (really) Lifted me.

"Wake me up before you go go"

 The title of this ode, is a song by WHAM from the '80's.      WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO GO   I heard that song this morning  On local radio Evoking strong memory Of really long ago. Was traveling from homeland That's Belfast, (north, six miles) To London's Heathrow airport, The song brought back some smiles. I sailed to Stranraer's harbour From our port, town of Larne Then o'ernight train going southbound Arriving there earl' morn. To catch my next connection Vancouver bound was I, The train ride, it was cheaper Than 'nother plane to fly Whene'er the train I boarded No seats avail'ble were Some military men were on them, Stretched out, without a care. I couldn't hear them snoring Or see the dreams they had But felt their tired demeanour To waken, would've been bad. Recall me having thought tough, How 'xhausted those men were, And how I'd feel if woken, To do so, wouldn't dare. The lines of song to my mind Came flooding back to...

That's a very good question / They LOVED me./ Night after Christmas

        Look for Dan, Similar style to me. I will give the title of this ode at the end & you'll understand why, when you hear it. One phrase I've noticed past few years, Which irks me to extreme, Is heard in MANY interviews On media, it does seem. When being asked some questions, To information, give, Instead of starting th'answer off, This phrase, repeated, is. The first few times 'twas novel, But aft. a while, does tire, I feel like stretching out my hand, It sure does produce 'ire' It's heard also in general chat, In public, private too, Wherever folk do congregate  Or cause hullabaloo. It may be said on impulse, To have few seconds more, In order to form answer, For me, it irks, hearts, core. Of course it's a good question, Why ever ask one, bad ? Just give an answer to what's asked, Try not, to make me mad.(der) So what is it that irks me, That causes such aggression, That makes my teeth just grate with rage? Well, '' That's a v...

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
