UNDER
THE BRIDGE
Lord,
it has been a long time
Since
last I stopped to write.
Much
troubled water has passed
Under
your peaceful bridge.
But
I chose to stand
In
the stream
Rather
than on that bridge.
I
want to rest upon
Your
quiet, peaceful bridge,
But
the path from here to there
Eludes
my searching eye.
I
try to move,
But
find my feet
Solidly
mired
And
set in mud
Beneath
the rushing stream.
The
waters have slowed
But
in the stream
Still
I choose to stand.
I
could climb out
By
leaving my boots
Inside
the miry mud.
But
by analogy I see
The
muddy fears of losing
That
which I value most
As
in bootless peace I'd stand
Upon
your quiet bridge.

GROW
ME ANOTHER MIRACLE
In
my life I've seen
The
many miracles
You've
given me:
Some
came as a lightening flash:
Here
and done in an instant;
Others
grew to fullness
Over
many days
Coming
to fruition
At
the end of painful changes.
Some
applied directly,
Just
to me;
Others
came through me
To
someone else;
And
many more were miracles
That
I only witnessed.
As
I observe the pain around me
I
ask, oh, Lord,
Please
grow me another miracle
That
will show those
Now
closely watching
That
you are still
A
caring, loving God
In
control of all things.

WINNERS
So
many trials and troubles
Leave
me feeling glum,
I
look around and wonder
What
the world is coming to.
Everywhere
I see destruction,
God's
people under attack.
I
wonder why I continue to fight
But
then I am reminded
That
though troubles do prevail
In
the end we win!
You
see, I've read the Bible
Right
to the very end,
And
though I don't know when or how,
There
is no doubt we win!

REVEALED
TRUTH
As
you choose to travel
The
path God sets before you,
Many
people will interject
Their
opinions of your choices.
You'll
be told where you're wrong
And
what to do instead;
They'll
tell you, in loving kindness,
It
is for your own good.
Heads
will shake and faces frown
As
you continue onward.
In
all their negativity
You
must e'er recall:
Nobody
can ever tell you
What
the Holy Spirit reveals to you
Except
the Holy Spirit.
