John 11: 35

What if our God was crying?

He HAS; and oft.; I'm sure,

John's Gospel, 11: 35

"Jesus wept", Jerusalem, o'er.


He grieves and cries when children,

By adults, are abused,

Their innocence, it's stolen,

Emotionally bruised.


He wept when watching His son,

While on that rugged cross,

Though three days later, when He rose

I'm sure, tears of rejoice.


He weeps, when people listening

To all His Love, bestowed,

STILL choose to go their own way,

Reject that His blood, flowed.


He wept, - though not recorded,

When Eve, that fruit did eat

Of knowledge 'good and evil'

And satan, man, did cheat.


He ALSO weeps, though tears of joy,

When sinners DO repent,

Who start to follow in HIS way,

Eternity, - Heaven spent.

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  ...
