I Hear His Voice ~

Jesus calls my name,
I hear His voice . . .
oh, how this knowledge
makes me rejoice.

I talk with Him,
He walks with me
together we journey
through the valley.

Over the hills we go,
climb up to their tops
we travel together
making plenty of stops.

That’s when I learn,
to follow His way
of face the danger
of going astray.

Jesus calls my name,
His voice I hear . . .
He beckons to me
to stay to Him near!

and I know them,
and they follow me:”

Other People’s Problems ~

Sometimes, I’m engulfed,
with other people’s problems
I try so very hard . . .
to help them to resolve them.

I know all they really need,
is for me to hear them out
as we pray for Jesus to take
their worries and their doubt.

Sometimes, all they want,
is a friendly ear to share
the reasons for their fears
and causes for their despair.

I know all they really need,
is for me to empathize
as we try to find God’s peace
for them to internalize.

Sometimes, I’m powerless,
when listening to others needs
and the only way to help them . . .
is to get down on my knees!

James 5:16
King James Version

“Confess your faults one to another,
and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.
The effectual fervent prayer
of a righteous man availeth much.”
