Our risen Lord is heard and seen –1Co.15: 4-8
Throughout the book of life –Jn.8: 58
A shadow but to Jesus’ queen –Lk.8: 10
The church His faithful wife
...
Mankind behaved like wayward fools
Whilst having all and more
We failed to keep creation’s rules
So Heaven closed the door
...
Giving and taking wilful hands
Before God’s throne we bow
To place on fingers golden bands
As symbols of a vow
...
Me go to church would be in vain!
There’s nothing more to see
At home I’ve so much more to gain
The church has nought for me
...
Our world at large seems cursed with wars
Distressed she writhes in pain
Her sinful brood bears open sores
Though lust for selfish gain
...
A Shepherd raised a flock of sheep
He tends them day and night
His love for them is true and deep
He keeps them all in sight
...
The church of Christ is often small
No roof to call her own
But there Her Shepherd’s heard the call
And lives to Christ alone
...
Some go to church and life is fine
They treat their neighbours well
They eat the bread they drink the wine
Still on the road to hell
...
Who hears the heart and soul of man
Who sees what each contains
Who knows what night and day we plan
What time for us remains
...
Though lame I sit within my chair
With pain in bed I lie
Through Jesus love and tender care
I’ve ceased to wonder why
...
