HE IS RISEN !

HE IS RISEN !

Shall we deny him our feet to climb those stairs; shall we keep back those hands that he would use; and shall we seal the lips by which he would speak the tender message to the dying soul?

Nay, rather, shall we not say:

"Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.

"Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love.
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King."

And by every movement of our bodies say to men as we pass on our pilgrim way: "I no longer live, but Christ liveth in me." So live that our lives shall be a demonstration that "Christ in us, the hope of glory," is the Indwelling Presence that guides us in that way.

GLORY POEM #3




TOUCHED

Many a day, it passes by,
so many thoughts, I stopped asking why,
Now painless, still, quiet loitering,
an unrelentless smile from within,
an invisible shield guarding me to the end.
A world in chaos whirling in circles,
A centrifugal force
keeping all on course,
a plan of the ages of which we know not,
But as for I, only in peace do I abide.
An invisible fence surrounds me
How odd !
I’m home.....untouched by outside forces,
Now insight given to a question I’ve not asked,
I’ve Been Touched !
I was told for I’ve known for some time,
But the wonder of it all leaves me in tears,
Not of sadness, or of fear, but of joy,
Christ Jesus, my Lord, my Savior,
In union as your heavenly bride,
I’ve moved along in such an unknowingly way
to finally be confirmed today,
I’ve been touched!
