When Abraham ascended up the mountain
A dramatic event lay just ahead
A paramount decision awaited him
Yet he knew, that by God he was led
When the Hebrew children faced the furnace
A perilous time awaited them
They found peace and consultation
Because their trust, was in Him
There was a Samaritan woman at the well
Who had a sordid past
But when she trusted Jesus
From her, all “yesterday’s” were cast
When fearful fishermen on a stormy sea
Were faced with raging waves
Who more than them, – could declare
– – – ” JESUS SAVES ” – – –
Of many others, I could enumerate
When it seemed they were at journeys end
When worldly solutions gave no reprieve
They found that Jesus was their friend
Certainly today, – perilous times abound
As nations display fear and anger
Basic principles we were founded upon
Seem to be in great danger
I’m thankful I, claimed John six-thirty seven
It gave peace to my troubled soul
Anguish and fear were alleviated
His sacrifice on the cross, made me whole

A note from the author:
“I have been writing poetry for several years. Writing is the greatest “outlet” I have ever experienced to release my inner emotions, and express my stance on spiritual issues. Many offer a personal “mini-story” with a metaphor of spiritual implications that occur around us, and portray God as the ultimate solution to life’s problems. My ultimate goal is that compositions I write will portray Christ and His sacrifice at Calvary as the solution to problems encountered along our pilgrim journey.”
