My Poetry

[crydun]

The Lord is My Pilot



Thank you dear Lord

For making me wait

For always intervening

When I try to mess with fate

You always seem to know what’s best

Even when I don’t

You always look ahead, dear Lord

Even when I won’t

Help me to be patient

Keep me in your care

I’ll put my life in your hands

Cause I know that you’ll be there.

<H1 style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">I’m Lonely, Lord



I’m lonely, Lord

I need some guidance

To get me through the day.



I need you, Lord

When temptation lurks

Along life’s narrow way.



Teach me to be patient, Lord

Help me to be strong

As I travel down Your path of truth

To find where I belong.



I’m lonely, Lord

I need somebody

To walk through life with me

As the stars fade out, I wonder

Is there someone out there for me?

Dear Lord



I feel so out of place

I don’t know what to do

They’re all talking weekends

There seems no place for you.



Where do I fit in Lord?

Within this campus crowd

When they talk of the world

You don’t seem to be allowed.



Watch over me, Lord

Down the path I take

Give me your guidance

In the choices that I make.



Now, the chairs are empty

Silence fills the halls

Lord, where can I find you?

As I look within these walls.



As I close this prayer, Lord

Keep me in your care

Watch, keep and guide me

I know that you’ll be there!

Broken Dreams



I had a treasured childhood toy

That brought me hours of precious joy

Then, one day, when the cold wind blew

My treasured toy broke in two.



Like my treasured childhood toy

My dreams filled my heart with joy

But when they were told they would never come true

Out of my heart, my dreams, they flew.



With my toy and precious dreams

I had a heart that once did sing

But when it found out that it couldn’t have you

My fragile heart broke in two.



I took my broken things to God

And asked Him what he could do

To mend my heart, fix the toy

And make my broken dreams renew.



He said, My child, you should know

Even though it doesn’t seem

When I close a door, I open a window

And let my love’s light beam.



Give them all to me, he said

Broken toys, broken hearts and broken dreams

Trade them in for heavenly joy

Of which this world will never see.



I gave my broken things to God

To trade in for heavenly peace

He gave to me his only Son

Who gave His life to me.

The Awakening​

You have finally figured out
What I knew all along

This country must get back to​

What we were founded on.​

This country was not founded​

On prejudice and hate​

We must trust the master​

It is He who holds our fate.​

Everything that happens​

In our world today​

Has its own purpose​

When we do things His way.​

As Christians, we have backslid​

Into selfishness and greed​

Even though the signs were there​

His warning we did not heed.​

Now that we are grieving​

And reflecting on what went wrong​

We reach out to our Father​

Who was there for us all along!​

Heaven’s Gatekeeper


Welcome to Heaven

Won’t you come in;
​

You have reached
​

Your journey’s end.
​

You’ll need no money
​

Everything’s free;
​

You’ll spend your days
​

Walking with me.
​

I am the greeter
​

Of the big, pearly gates;
​

That lead to the kingdom
​

Where eternity waits.
​

Over the hilltop
​

There stands a big mansion
​

It was all paid for
​

With the Lamb’s ransom.
​

He paid for all this
​

On the cross for your sins;
​

So, now I, the greeter
​

Am letting you in.
