A couple more poems

Just a couple more poems, now I am back in the swing of getting into my blog page. The first one was a prayer during one of those times when the black dog of depression had me baled up in the corner again a little while ago.

The second one, 'Come Follow', sort of wrote itself the other day. I had been having my quiet time the reading was in John, where Jesus talks about being the good shepherd, and his sheep recognising his voice. In the reading notes I was using the writer asked the question, 'what is distinctive about Jesus voice'. It sort of got me thinking about how I would recognise his voice, how would I or do I know it is him, and how can I hear above the busy noises of work and weariness.

 

I hope any of the 2 or 3 people who read this blog might find these poems touch a spot somewhere in their hearts.

 

 

 

A prayer from the Pit 

Sadness Lord

Sadness and sorrow

Weariness Lord

Weariness and pain

Weeping Lord

Weeping and heartbreak

Help me Lord

I’m in the pit again.

Praying Lord

Praying and hoping

Reaching Lord

Reaching out to you

Pleading Lord

Pleading you’ll here me

Waiting Lord

Waiting for you

Come follow

Hush child, be still, come follow

I am with you, I will not leave

I will never fail or desert you

Be still, come listen, come sit awhile with me

I know the clamour, I hear the noise

I know the things that worry you

I know your sin, it is forgiven

Forgive yourself, stand up and follow.

Be still little child, be still love of mine

I am here, always near

Come hold my hand do not fear,

You are mine, you belong

Come follow
