Awaiting the Sign
Noah made one Ark to carry the righteous
with a blueprint from God’s own hands.
It had just one door to enter in
and only one window looked out.
Only one wood could build it
for only one family worth saving
who awaited one sign of forgiveness,
a covenant rainbow of promise
over a world wiped clean
and renewed.
Our Ark today is the same,
a blueprint from God’s own hands.
It has just one door to enter in,
only through Jesus Christ.
There is only one window, the Word,
with sixty-six books of instructions.
From only one wood is it built,
wood hewn from Calvary’s cross.
Christians of faith and courage
must come and knock at the door,
and await God’s sign of forgiveness,
a few life saving words of promise,
“Come in my child.
Welcome home!”
Here on My Knees
Lord, I have so many prayers to send –
wishes, needs, cares without end.
How does one know where to begin?
There are folks in disasters everywhere,
disease and illness too much to share.
How do I know you even care?
But then I’ve been told you know it all
and all I have to do is kneel and call
if upon your strength and love I’d draw.
So take a good look Lord. Here I am.
I opened my heart and got with the program
Hold out your crook Lord and pull in your lamb.
For if you can save a sinner like me,
I’ll spend lots of time down here on my knees
and all of my prayers will flow up to Thee!

Write a leader or a follower poem
Or a follow the leader poem
Take the lead or walk behind
It doesn’t matter to me.

Or click about on the keyboard

We’ve spent so many days in thought
We’ve delved below the surface
We’ve chased our muse around the block
And filled so many pages
And yet we find ourselves bereft
Of just one more poetic idea
Don’t guess I’ll ever follow the masters
With the next great poem of the ages!
