How good to be sad
When the world is so bad
And to act every way as a Christian
To follow the Cross
And despise life’s dross
And be regarded with suspicion
More than ever I feel the need of having Thee close to me. “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong. Corinthians 12:7-10
Don't be so modest, Richard:) It's not doggerel or a pale imitation, but excellent. If it falls short of mine, it does so only in bitterness and nastiness, which you never display, and I do too often.

How good to be the winners
ReplyDeleteIn the battle fought for sinners
To be given secure hope
like a mountain climber's rope
that stop's him from falling
when the world starts calling
(or in the mountaineers case, he looks down and the ground starts spinning, and he gets dizzy and let's go. You get my drift anyway)!
I like it!
