Just Passing Through ~

I am but a stranger,
to the world, I am freak
they treat me unjustly
call me lame and weak.

They think I am weird,
they laugh at me and say
“She thinks that to God
there is only one way.”

They tell me that Jesus,
was just a carpenter
a nice guy who once lived
to them, He’s a foreigner.

But Jesus is my Lord,
to God He is the only way
though they laugh and scoff
whenever, this I say.

They believe many roads,
will lead them to heaven
and so to God’s Word
their ears are deafened.

I am but a stranger,
an outsider passing through
a homeless refugee . . .
keeping Jesus in my view!

Hebrews 11:13
King James Version

“These all died in faith,
not having received the promises,
but having seen them afar off,
and were persuaded of them,
and embraced them,
and confessed that they were strangers
and pilgrims on the earth.

I Cry ~

I cry at night,
when I lay in bed
I pray to my Savior
from verses read.

I cry for the widow,
whose loved one is gone
I pray to my Savior
to Him, she’ll be drawn.

I cry for the homeless,
with nowhere to go
I pray to my Savior
His love will flow.

I cry for the hungry,
with nothing to eat
I pray to my Savior
their needs He’ll meet.

I cry for the sick,
those who are ailing
I pray to my Savior
to heal without delaying.

I cry for the sinner,
who is lost and alone
I pray to my Savior
their life He’ll atone.

I cry for a lost world,
every single night
I pray to my Savior
to shine His light.

I cry for you,
and yes, I cry for me
I pray to my Savior
to hear each plea!

Romans 1:9
King James Version

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit
in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing
I make mention of you always in my prayers;”
