Let Jesus be our end and all:
Show sprinkled blood and suffering brow,
The mangled body pierced for sin,
The Lamb of God from time eternal.

No Stairs

No stairs exist to take you to Heaven's gate:
We walk below, our path is here, and fight;
There's many a step before the final date ─
But then! the Lord will sweep us up in flight.

The Pillow

The pillow offers little rest,
The night brings wakened fears and sighs,
The bed was made for silent cries ─
The conscience presses upon the breast.

Good night to all the folk of peaceful heart
May God watch over all in every part
To those who seek his face and do his will
May angels sit upon your window sill

Not Borrowed Time

It's not borrowed time you're living on,
but gifted ─ a heavenly blessing, a day to enjoy;
Let God's wonders never elicit a yawn,
Deserving all the effort we can employ.

Alone with God

Alone with God, is all one needs:
He satisfies and clothes and feeds
The soul, he heals the broken heart,
And makes the excluded a vital part.

Decide for God, and make it so,
In rain or heat, in cold or snow;
For faith has heard the Savior's voice,
In every hardship will rejoice.

No Great Effort

No great effort is needed to understand ─
When will is present, and desire is fanned ─
To know the plan of God, the sacrifice
Of Christ as all-sufficient good and price.

As a bird that wanders from its nest,
Is one who wanders from his home.
The straying heart will find no rest,
Nor fleeing feet encounter room.

Santa's in the Rearview Mirror

Santa's in the rearview mirror,
Elves have long since left their prints;
New Year now is that much nearer,
And I have eaten all the mints.
