Tuesday's Trust - Since Life on Earth is a "Blip" in Time

Tuesday's Trust

Since Life on Earth is a "Blip" in Time...

For each of us, life on earth is a "blip";

May we spend our time packing for our trip,

Where we take nothing with us but what we can't see...

But Love giv'n away is Heavenly "gold."

The only thing that counts in the Heavenly

Is love planted in each fellow-man's soul.

(Lord,) The love You've poured into my broken soul,

Pour into others; draw them into Love's fold.

Our last years on earth; may we not chase Fools' Gold:

(The lures of the earth: Satan's centerfold!)

As God made the oceans, yet contained them,

The pow'rs in this earth...may He constrain them

To keep our eyes fixed on the goal

Of loving Him and loving each man's soul...

As death has come and split my world apart,

May my God of Love mend the pieces of my heart,

Sealing them together around Love's heart.

May His love constrain me to do my part...

Poem - Since Life on Earth is a "Blip" in Time - Angie Bennett Prince - 6/8/2010

Her Father's Love

Her Father's Love

You had the pow’r to save my baby girl . . .

When she was sad, You came to comfort her,

When she was harmed, Your protection would unfurl,

When she was lonely, You came t’ visit her.

When she sinned, Your own Lamb came t’ take her sin,

When she would cry, You wiped her tears away;

When she was estranged, You came, took her in,

When she was taunted, You kept th’ Fiend at bay.

When she was vulnerable, You gave strength,

When she faltered, You’d go to any length,

Ev’n parted the heav’ns to come, rescue her,

Sought th’ cherubims, on their wings You mounted . . .

You battled when foes were too strong for her,

In waters too high, You took hold of her.

When she could not hear, Your voice resounded.

But when You spoke, and she refused, You warned,

But when she still turned You away, You mourned . . .

And when she ran from You, asserting her will,

You let her go, but You loved her still . . .

When the Enemy pounced, her body killed,

You took her to Heaven, Your Love revealed.

But long before the bells for her life pealed,

Her Father’s Love made sure her soul was sealed.

Based on Psalm 18
