Christian poetry by my friend
Debbie
Little Child
I said a prayer again today
And asked the Lord with love
Why would he send such little ones
Then take them back above
He answered me so softly
So sweetly in my ear
My child it would not be the same
If they were never here
He told me that he sent them
To make a hard heart soft
It teaches us to love
No matter what the cost
Though they were here so briefly
Their touch to us was grand
A heart did melt when they were born
And you held thier little hand
But tell them to remember
The same happened to me
When my father had to sacrifice
Me upon that tree
I know they are confused
When things happen this way
But tell them to look up
And I'll take thier cares away
I know it is'nt easy
For them to understand
So I'll be beside them always
To love, and hold thier hand
weep too when these small wonders
Leave earth so suddenly
But remember thier in heaven
Right back home with me

Its Blessing Time Again
Oh I love the blessings
My good Lord gives to me
I notice it in everything
Down to the birdies in the trees
They sing to me so sweetly
I know God placed them there
For me to know he's with me
Everyday, and everywhere
Then I notice all the beauty
Of the flowers that he grows
From a winter stem of dryness
He gives each one new clothes
The colors they are many
Upon these liitle sticks
They dance upon a springtime breeze
Everyone my Lord handpicks
Have you stopped to count your blessings Each, and
everyday ?
You can see them in your children
When they sleep, and are at play
Tell me do you see each blessing
In the eyes of a little child ?
They come to us so sweetly
So ever meek, and mild
So its blessing time again today
And all the whole year through
Please be sure to notice them
When they are handed down to you !

THE CROSS
I am glad I was'nt present
That day on calvary
I would have cried my eyes out
That would be terrible to see
My lord all cut, and bruised
Hanging on a tree
I'm glad I was'nt Mary
I'm glad it wasn't me
Could you bear to witness
Your own son upon a cross
With nails in his hands, and feet
Bearing all sins cost
I know he must have suffered
How Mary's heart did break
I could not imagine
The pain of that heart ache
But there's good news for you & I
It was'nt all in vain
He came forward from that tomb
Yes he did rise again
He has paid the penalty
Of sin for you, and I
Just remember this when you see
The rainbow in the sky
To Helen with love from Debbie 1/21/00
My Lords Love
The Lord he see's me sleeping
After I turn off the light
He sends his angels to me
To care for me each night
I hear them whisper in my ear
God loves me every minute
The world would not have been the same
If I were never in it
They tell me of his gentle care
That he sends down to me
And how he listens to my prayers
So ever earnestly
Jesus is my savior
He makes me smile & sing
Just knowing that he"s with me
To me means everything
