Jesus in the Back Seat.....

     Jesus In The Back Seat.....

God’s sweetest fruit we long to share

Nothing we choose to lack

Whilst driving life’s road to nowhere

With Jesus in the back

 

One thing the world must understand

God’s child must comprehend

With but the wheel in Jesus’ hand

We’ll steer round danger’s bend

 

Allow The Shepherd lead His flock

Take heed if Christ should call

Hold fast in life unto The Rock

Through which so many fall

 

Its not God’s will that one should die

That one in life should fail

That’s why Christ left His throne on high

And chose to pay our bail

 

We’d still in shame lie tightly chained

Through sin we’ve fallen short

In filthy rags tattered and stained

Where pleas would count for nought

 

Its now; in Christ our lives must change

Its time life’s seed to sow

Let Christ The Gardner rearrange

For Heaven’s vine to grow

 

However deep however high

However grave the load

Stand firm in Christ don’t wonder why

Along the narrow road

 

Through faith; we’ll see The Father’s face

We’ll eat life’s living Bread

Once Jesus’ hands with ours embrace

When safe through life He’s led.. …

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
