Words

We all need words to live by,
To inspire us and to guide us,
Words to give us courage,
When the threats of life betide us.

And the words that never fail us,
Are the words of God above,
Words of comfort and of courage,
Filled with wisdom and of love.

They are ageless and enduring,
They have lived through generations,
There’s no question left unanswered,
In our Father’s Revelations.

And in this ever changing world,
God’s word remains unchanged,
For though through countless ages,
They’ve been often re-arranged.

The truth shines through all changes,
Just as bright today as when
Our Father made the universe,
And breathed His life in men.

And the words of inspiration,
That I wrote for you today,
Are just the old enduring truths,
Said in a rhythmic way.

And if my ‘borrowed’ words of truth,
In some way touch your heart,
Then I am deeply thankful,
To have had a little part.

In sharing these God given lines,
And I hope you share them too,
With family, friends and loved ones
And all those dear to you.
