And I were to be flung into space<br />
I would reach out my arms to seek You Lord<br />
Though I’m not much in this human race<br />
Would Your cords still spin out till You found me¬<br />
Would You still wrap me round in Your love?<br />
Then enfold me as if You’d just seen me<br />
And knew I was someone to love<br />
Your love is amazing so strong and so true<br />
You love me so much more than I have loved You<br />
I would be Yours till the sun doesn’t rise<br />
Please dry the tears that keep filling my eyes.<br />

You asked me what they were quite some time ago<br />
I never answered that request for I didn’t really know<br />
I push the ball out every day and watch it roll away<br />
And hope I have not made a mess of everything today.<br />
I wait for things to happen and hope it is the Lord<br />
I talk to Him in these long long days, more mistakes I can’t afford.<br />
How will I know when I’ve done wrong? That’s when the phone will ring<br />
And a loved one starts berating me. I could give up everything.<br />
My struggles have gone on far too long. Why didn’t God give up?<br />
Just one more day will be too much Dear Lord, I’ve had enough!<br />
For those I love I’d give my life but now they’re distant, cold<br />
Am I too needy, wanting love or am I just too old?<br />

When Abraham was ninety was he just too old to change?<br />
Well I am not quite ninety yet but couldn’t walk the range<br />
My Shepherd is beside me, He knows my weaknesses<br />
But I will cling to Him for He expects that I will change.<br />
‘Walk before Me’ says the Saviour ‘and be perfect in my sight’<br />
Walking‘s slow and steady and what Jesus says is right<br />
Each step will take me nearer to the Home prepared for me<br />
As the Spirit makes me perfect in the eyes that look on me.<br />
<br />
There’s still time, yes there’s still time <br />
For a few more breaths a few more days, another rhyme<br />
Walk with me at the Saviours side, I’d love your company<br />
The road can be so lonely and I’d love you close to me<br />
The soft green hills the rugged crags are not too hard at all<br />
When you have a friend who takes your hand and helps you lest you fall<br />
So if we walk together before the Saviour’s eyes<br />
We’ll climb the road to Glory and nothing will surprise.<br />

Do you feel a shadow behind?<br />
Don’t worry my child it is I that came<br />
To listen and walk through your mind.<br />
You are never alone as I’ve told you<br />
My mind is always on you<br />
Little tunes may run through your memory<br />
They are songs I have written for you<br />
Don’t be disturbed by the silence<br />
If you don’t hear Me at work<br />
That is when things are becoming the finest<br />
So don’t forget how I LOVE YOU!!!<br />

Hold me above the waves<br />
Open my mouth so I can say <br />
That only Jesus saves<br />
I’m just a trouble old and frail <br />
What use am I to You?<br />
I make mistakes just all the time<br />
And rhymes are all I do<br />
But I can pray and pray I will <br />
I’ll never let You go<br />
Whatever happens every day <br />
You’ll do the same for me I know.<br />

Lord, I beseech You, use me<br />
Lord, I am tossed aside in this crazy world<br />
<br />
See the love I’m bearing, <br />
Love I should be sharing<br />
What use am I if I’m not fully Yours?<br />
<br />
Take me, since You died for me <br />
Your Spirit wants to work on me<br />
Help me show folk love that could be theirs.<br />

Feelings can be deceitful <br />
Mould me till I’m useful<br />
Apprentice me in Your great school for life<br />
<br />
Rebirth me in Your great school of life.<br />

Will those happy grateful notes sound as clear as they used to be?<br />
Please give the sounds that I once held so tenderly in my mind<br />
To someone else who needs them who is crippled or maybe blind<br />
Oh Lord I need to share the gift that I once had from You<br />
No matter just how old they are, whether eighty or just two.<br />
Give them the joy of loving You in songs that reach to Heaven<br />
Or to mimic birds that sing for life for six years maybe seven.<br />
The awful sound that my throat makes however hard I try<br />
Is such a cold and bitter pill, no wonder I sometimes cry.<br />
Could I press ‘delete’ or ‘back to base’ or ‘put the clock back Lord?<br />
Or ‘what’s that surgeon thinking of? It’s worse now than before!<br />
Well now I’ve got that off my chest I’ll walk out through the door<br />
And thank You that my eyes still see as clearly as before.<br />
I see the moon, the stars, the sun, the clouds scud through the sky<br />
And send my prayers not for myself but for those who have no sight.<br />

Don’t ever turn away from me for then what could I do?<br />
I’m human Lord, I make mistakes. I run before I walk<br />
My impulses get out of hand, why did I learn to talk?.<br />
<br />
Right now Lord all I want to do is fall down at Your feet<br />
And never stand upright again, my tears will wash Your feet<br />
Regret I know is pain from Hell. There is no pain like that.<br />
Is that the only pain You never felt? Oh Lord free me from that.<br />
<br />
Look upon me Jesus my love is bound to You<br />
You gave Your all that I should not fall and I belong to You<br />
Oh help my love grow deeper help me feel the pain I caused<br />
Let me know the love of forgiveness and in forgiving help Your cause .<br />

<br />
You can walk across my grave my friend for I will not be there<br />
I have broken through my chrysalis, now I don’t have a care<br />
There’s no pain and no more loneliness; no cold dirt over me<br />
I’m walking down the roads of Heaven, enjoying all I see.<br />
<br />
No need to cry beside my grave my friend, for I will not be there<br />
I’m sitting in the sunshine of my Lord without a care<br />
If I have time I will be looking for those I used to know<br />
But Mum and Dad will be the first for I want them both to know.<br />
<br />
That I’ve broken free of earthly cares since Jesus is my Lord<br />
He died for me at Calvary and carried me aboard<br />
The glory train to Heaven, so I want you all to know<br />
That I’m basking in the light of God and I’m glad He loved me so.<br />
<br />
Now it is so important that you hear what I say<br />
For I want to see you all up here one grand and glorious day<br />
There is such a crowd of witnesses cheering from above<br />
With the Spirit, God and Jesus watching over you with love.<br />
<br />
So please remember that although I’ve gone, I’ve not gone very far<br />
For I will always love you, yes, you know who you are<br />
You were always in my heart and my heart is still in you<br />
So get ready for Heaven, it’s the best thing you could do.<br />
<br />

In this pitch black sky no morning’s nigh and no sign of the moon<br />
Black clouds hang up like soggy sheets that need a tub of suds<br />
And that’s the colour of my mood, what can I see that’s good?<br />
<br />
A bedroom’s lit, a baby cries, (no sleep again tonight)<br />
A cat is yowling in the rain would someone turn on a light?<br />
A gentle breeze still slightly warm; I felt an angel’s breath<br />
As she walked so slowly up the lane when Christ walked to His death.<br />
<br />
What have I done? I let Him go! I’d not meant that Christ should die?<br />
I was so sure I could stop events before the dew was dry?<br />
My arrogance, my faith in me was not worth anything<br />
And Christ was born for Calvary and His love meant everything.<br />

<br />
Lord hold me, I need to be near<br />
I’m starving for You yet still filled with fear<br />
Fear that I’ll lose You; Fear I will fall<br />
Angry words have unbalanced me, Lord You are my all.<br />
<br />
Murmuring voices; words that condemn<br />
What are my choices? For You now and then?<br />
Never no, never! You Lord alone<br />
Stifle those voices! You Lord are my Home<br />
<br />
Nothing will save me. You already died<br />
Shame sets on fire my Christ Crucified<br />
Loving and longing for You alone<br />
Please Saviour call me and take me back home.<br />
W.B<br />

Never has death held more appeal<br />
Never before have I needed You more <br />
Lord grab me and show me You are real.<br />
<br />
Recent trials have come; I wasn’t ready<br />
I thought I had the answers to my needs<br />
When my enemy struck I was not just out of luck<br />
And they caught me not down upon my knees.<br />
<br />
And so I failed and I need You Lord;<br />
I’m on the rails, I can’t bear to walk abroad <br />
Judges everywhere fingers pointing as I stare<br />
Colour me gone, hide me in You I need You Lord.<br />

<br />
<br />
I am setting my spirit free. <br />
I want You only near to me<br />
Not to be my willing slave<br />
You Who conquered death and grave<br />
I need to have You hold me tight<br />
Grip my hand with every fright<br />
Warm my heart with Your sweet breath<br />
Take away my fear of death<br />
<br />
Please ease the pain of losing friends<br />
Do I need them too much as life nears end?<br />
Memories rest in sweet content<br />
Remember me, my love was meant<br />
To heal your wounds and soothe your pain<br />
To be the sunshine in your rain<br />
To give you hope when skies were grey<br />
To show I’d never walk away.<br />
<br />
My life was yours my love was too<br />
How old I feel! Yet hope was new<br />
Heaven’s drawing near, life’s sky is bright<br />
Gone is my day; I welcome night<br />
All will be well once I am home<br />
A reunion no urge to roam<br />
My spirit is no longer free<br />
I’m Home, I’m held, just You and me.<br />

With your non judgemental loving soul I never want to part<br />
I know the pain you often bear that I can’t take away<br />
It wrenches through the heart of me most every night and day<br />
Our God is love; He weeps with us and longs to take us Home<br />
But we wander aimless through our times instead of kneeling at the Throne<br />
There’s oh so much to say and do when I would hold you near<br />
I soon grow tired when age claims strength. I’m little use I fear.<br />
<br />
I could borrow wings from strengthened owls to fly both near and far<br />
To catch a tear or stroke your head to be close to where you are<br />
Your time and strength for other’s need will work alongside mine<br />
While angels watch with eagerness to fly to you one more time.<br />
And so too slowly sometimes the sands of time move on <br />
Until one day we notice that time is almost gone<br />
Our love will hold and linger, our memories won't fade<br />
The love first came through Jesus Christ then History was made.<br />

<br />
You will never leave us, nor will You forsake us<br />
In the shadow of the cross is where I’d make my home.<br />
My pain is your pain Lord, You Who took the blame, Lord<br />
Wash me in the blood now, be my shelter if I roam.<br />
<br />
Listen to the good news those who think they should choose <br />
What they make of their life if Christ should call you home?<br />
Will you let Him stand alone here, the God of Heaven Who holds you dear<br />
Longing for your company as He guides you to his Home.<br />
<br />
The clock of Life will stop one day when Christ returns to make His claim<br />
And those written in the book of Life will join Him in the sky<br />
Too late to cry, “But wait, but wait, I’m ready now, I did hesitate<br />
Another chance, have mercy now on a sinner such a I.”<br />

<br />
My life is Yours; I cannot sing <br />
Yet You have given me everything<br />
Sweet music sounds in silent ears <br />
You stroke my head You dry my tears<br />
My hope and future in Your hands <br />
Behind these walls or in foreign lands.<br />
I know You wish me nought but good<br />
My heart still sings though I wish I could.<br />
<br />
My joy comes now from those who can<br />
And bless us with their heart and hand<br />
Such melodies are made in Heaven<br />
To strengthen us whether one or seven.<br />
They maybe songs from long ago<br />
That we’ve forgotten but need to know<br />
How much Your love has shielded us<br />
The cross, the blood You shed for us.<br />
<br />
Musicians , singers, please be bold<br />
Break out the music that you hold<br />
Refresh our hearts; lift up our heads<br />
We hunger still for music’s threads<br />
Send it with love , we’ll love you back<br />
Songs old, some new, just play that track!<br />
We’ll practice for that heavenly choir<br />
And spread God’s love, our one desire.<br />

<br />
I’m not looking for democracy when I get into Heaven<br />
For God will be in full control and my spirit may be leavened<br />
I won’t feel shy or of little worth for I’ll be made anew<br />
I’ll know my place and have a job that no one else could do.<br />
I ‘ve often had some happy thoughts of what work would suit me best<br />
Such as cuddling little babies when it’s time they had a rest<br />
<br />
But will there be a babe at all or would we all be old?<br />
The very thought of such a thing has made my blood run cold<br />
I’m told there’ll be no ocean so I might want to run away<br />
For the ocean holds my will to live and where I’d like to stay<br />
I’m sorry, Lord, I’m difficult, and I’ll need to change a lot<br />
If I’m to settle in that Heavenly sphere, contented with my lot<br />
<br />
I know You love me and I love You, but will that be enough?<br />
You said to wait, and wait I will, though I don’t like waiting much.<br />
I’ll try to be agreeable although that’s hard for me<br />
A square peg in a rounded hole is what I’ve always been<br />
And You have been so patient; Your love has known no end<br />
Have You ever said to Father, Wyn drives me round the bend?<br />

<br />
Can I write too often of Christ’s pain on the cross<br />
When the Father gave up His Son? Was Christ’s life a total loss?<br />
Why did He die for the sins of the Godless many<br />
Was anyone grateful? Did He find any?<br />
<br />
Just now and then would you sit and ponder<br />
Of the love of the Father and His Son now up yonder?<br />
Thirty three years watched by His mother<br />
Praying for each other as this world He discovered.<br />
<br />
The love and the hate in this world He would sample<br />
His death changed our future His loving was ample<br />
Thank You thank You, Jesus now we kneel at Your throne<br />
Thank You for Your death now we have become all Your own.<br />
<br />
Spirit fill our hollows, burn out all the dross<br />
Let us walk beside You as You carry the cross<br />
Thank You for forgiveness, patience, mercy too<br />
Can we reach the manhood that we have seen in You?<br />
<br />
Yes, the journey’s difficult, blessings mixed with pain<br />
But with healing for our frequent wounds touched by Your love again<br />
We hail the future promised we promise to be true<br />
Looking for eternity that we will spend with You.<br />
<br />

<br />
How empty are our days oh Lord when they’re not spent with You<br />
Intentions then however good can’t fill the hollow made<br />
By absent heart and absent mind, by love not hot and true<br />
And though You’re near, eyes pleading yet, Your precious figure fades.<br />
<br />
Father I vow I shall not wait till trauma cuts me through<br />
I would be pure and faithful I know I need Your touch <br />
I’ll seek You out, the living Fire, to burn me through and through<br />
Each breath I’m given is straight from Heaven and in Your power I trust.<br />
<br />
Give me a heart just like Your own to pray the lost ones home<br />
And add my voice to the Spirit’s call naming all that are lost<br />
Give me a heart in which I don’t live; a heart that never roams<br />
For all that I am and have is Yours and You have paid the cost.<br />

<br />
There was no other way, that’s why Christ did it<br />
No compromise, half death, known unto man<br />
The whole of Christ’s body, his Spirit, His Holiness<br />
Was destined to die for the sins of man.<br />
<br />
Do we keep sinning in spite of Salvation?<br />
Do we make excuses for humanities fall?<br />
Watch for the sky to open by His hand<br />
How much longer will He wait to see our remorse?<br />
<br />
Our second chances belittle His sacrifice<br />
Pathetic excuses for each time we fail<br />
Lord, strengthen our spirits for we are your warriors<br />
You won the battle and You’ll never fail.<br />
<br />
W.B Easter ‘15<br />
