Observance


Romans 8:28 New English Translation (NET Bible)

28 And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose …

 

Observance

 

Pictures are simply watching me as my pen moves on paper

At times I try to understand what they are thinking

All seem to be free although life is a fading vapor

That they have well in hand as no one’s eyes are blinking

 

Carved deep in my heart the off-spring that was given

By the Author of Love Who unconditional filled my soul

Never to depart from the Faith that I am living

As a gift from above to make His purpose my goal

 

How to set an example for the ones better than me?

How to lead the way if I don’t where I am going?

To who now pass the mantle as from myself I flee?

To a place where escape becomes a sign of my doing
