Rest in ME

"My child" said HE who has no form,

“Just come and rest in ME, 

I'll give you comfort like none else

And show MY power to thee.”


I followed Him as close I could

Uncertain, where He’d lead

But knowing I could only trust

This answer to my plead.


This ONE, who made the worlds from naught,

Why would HE let me down?

He only can do GOOD to all

Rewarding, with a crown.


And so, I daily take a step

To follow  in His way

Encouraged by His constant love

Poured upon me each day.






Composed after reading the following on a MeWE page

DEAR LORD

Dear Lord please hear my prayer
I need your help right now
I feel hurt everywhere
I want to feel better and don’t know how

I thought I could do it on my own
I thought I could get by
This pain is like one I’ve never known
However all I do is cry

Please heal my broken heart
Please take away this pain
Direct me to a new start
Let me be better once again

I know you have a plan for me
Only You know what I need
Guide me to where I’m to be
Let my heart no longer bleed

I turn this over to you Lord
May I do what pleases thee
For You are mightier than the sword
You alone can heal me.

I’m doing my best to live my life for You
Although at times I let you down
You know what I’ve been through
I know Your love is all around

Give me the strength to move forward
To continue sharing Your love
May I be able to share Your word
Let others know that we are all loved up above.

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

To Know, Know, Know Him. {song}

To know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, Just to walk His way, In His will, to stay, Yes. to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him, And I do, yes I do, do you? When He died for me, On that cruel tree, He endured such agony Just so He could set me free, He rose again triumphantly And He lives in Heav'n eternally, He wants you and me there too. Why can't men see How vast His love be? Some day He'll return To take His own to Glory. To know, really know Him, Is to love, truly love Him Live for Him each day, In His will, obey, Yes to know, know, know Him, Is to love, love, love Him And I know, He loves you too.                                                                                       ...

"Wake me up before you go go"

 I heard this song this morning  On local radio Evoking strong memory Of really long ago. Was travelling from homeland That's Belfast, (north, six miles) To London's Heathrow airport, The song brought back some smiles. I sailed to Stranraar'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 me As coming from the soldiers So loved ones, they would see. So I just hunkered down, me, Near tr...
