Has the world ever produced,
a man or woman:
Who sought perfection,
humbly,
to be like God?
Rather than,
pridefully,
to be a god!!!
Are not mankind’s perfections,
all his aspirations,
the deadly fuel,
of selfish ambitions?
Bound by this earthly frame,
all activity leads to infame,
hopes and desires inflame,
and sadly make men insane:
Worshiping ourselves,
and not our Creator.

I’m very glad we’re still together you and me,
Although we’ve lost so many others,
So many, many others lost already.
Thank you Lord, for raising Lazarus,
And giving hope to all of us.
I touch you as I hold my breath,
Are you still breathing?
Yes, you’re still breathing.
Thank God! That you’re still breathing!
You’ll be with me a little longer,
Though the clock is ticking,
Predicting weeping,
Before this day is over.
I’m glad that we’re still breathing,
For one more day of living,
Forestalling days of crying,
Bewildered days of dying,
Losing all the ones we’re loving.
Loving all the ones we’re losing.

I am strong in body,
I am sound of mind,
I am alone in spirit,
Abandoned in soul,
Aching in the quiet,
Silent in the darkness,
Waiting in hope,
Hoping in awaiting,
Abiding in action,
Passing this life,
In endless motion,
Hungry and thirsty,
Never satisfied,
Yearning for Jesus,
Expecting salvation,
Sighing inwardly,
Anguishing emptily,
Under this sun,
My eyes searching,
Looking to the stars,
Lit by moonlight,
Watered by tears,
I am planted in this earth,
Rooted in this soil,
Grasping towards heaven,
A timeless vessel,
Made to be filled,
Holding open…
~FS
