Walking the Talk ~

I really like talking,
all about the walk . . .
but, I’m not always great
at walking the talk.

For, often I stumble,
on the words I say
and my walk falters
as I talk along the way.

I find it easy to talk,
about what to do
but, sometimes Lord
my walk isn’t in You.

For, when I’m tested,
my walk betrays my talk
especially when I think
Your will I can balk.

I really like talking,
all about the walk
but, at times I need help
walking . . . what I talk!

Romans 8:1

“There is therefore now
no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus,
who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.”

In Your Light ~

Lord, Your Word is the lamp,
that guides us along the way
the Light in the darkness
that begins with each new day.

A purpose You have planned,
for every one of our steps
if only we would just believe
and follow Your concepts.

You know the path we must  take,
the way in which we should go
You have gone out before us
and the way You want to show.

Sometimes we talk the talk,
and we say we follow after You
but, if the truth were to be told
it is not always what we do.

For we are all born of sin,
and there is nothing we can do
the only way to walk the talk
is hand in hand with You.

I know alone we are nothing,
and we’ll surely lose our way
unless we rise in Your Light
and pray for guidance every day!

It’s Not Easy ~

It’s not simple,
this Christian walk
it’s not easy
this Christian talk.

People think,
I’m a religious freak
people insist
I’m tolerant weak.

It’s not easy,
this Christian road
it’s not fun
when others goad.

I must admit,
it’s laborious
for this Christian walk
to be victorious.

But, I don’t mind,
what others may say
for I know . . .
Jesus is the only way.

It’s not easy,
to walk the talk
it’s not acceptable
to talk the walk!

Ephesians 2:10
King James Version

“For we are his workmanship,
created in Christ
Jesus unto good works,
which God hath
before ordained that we
should walk in them.”
