BabiesSo precious are the babiesLORD they all have gems for eyes So precious be their little hands as they wave a sweet good-bye. so precious be their little feet as they meander to and fro and darling be their tiny breathe superbly do they glow. We must not forget their fat chubby cheeks nor their soft and golden hair and don't you forget to love them and show them that you care. |
A Child's GaitTo swing once more ongarden gate and from oak vines dangle and soar to forge the tranquil streams of life which so often pass our door. To play all day in the new mown hay to frolic and dance to daybreak drum to muster hope trying to cope with the sorrows that certain come. |
Un-fashionableChrist wore no robes that were fashionedby Christian Dior. He only wore a very simple Judean Robe. His footwear would not have been by Gucci; he saw no need of having happy feet. He would never had owned a set of fancy wheels that could have tuned itself to the road He only rode on a donkey as we've so often been told. Christ Jesus wore no rings nor a diamond by DeBeers for his hands were far too busy at wiping away the little one's tears. He would have endorsed no bats or baseball hats even if they would have had them - nor no bits of polished cathedral glass of long forgotten pasts. He only worked in the present tense for the die had been long time cast. He only now asks please just deal with the present for I have redeemed your past . . . |
