Mary sat at Jesus' feet

   to listen to her Lord.

Martha worked hard doing things

   and just got cross and bored.

Until we learn to listen

   and heed that still, small voice –

We, also, will be missing

   the things that are God's choice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A man won a three legged race

   partnering his small son.

Watching, it seemed quite ludicrous.

   Yet the way it was dime -

Was just like Jesus tied to me

   carrying me every day.

When I struggle I hinder Him.

   I just get in the way.

The only way that I can help

   is to trust in His Might.

Doing exactly as He says

   knowing His Way is right "

The Lord gave me a burden.

    He gave it just to me.

Just the thought made me tremble.

   In fact, quite needlessly.

The thing that looked so daunting

   became simplicity -

For Jesus took the weight of it

   while hang1ng on the tree.

My burden 1 gave Jesus

   He took it instantly.

Now I don’t have a burden ~

   Christ carries it for me.

 

 

 

 

My future is a winding road -

   the next step's round the bend –

However hard I try to see –

   I cannot  see the end.

When I think about tomorrow –

   I make the roughest plan.

I expect God to overrule –

   on  my will place a ban.

While my Father is guiding

   along the road that's right -

He will take all my problems

   and solve them with His Might.

When I try to see the future –

   I cannot see His Way.

Yet looking  back the way I've come

   see  His hand on each day. .

God offered me a blessing

   but I didn't pick it up.

I thought it was medicine

   from a very bitter cup.

Many blessings are disguised.

   It's impossible to see –

How the burden that's offered

   could, one day, a blessing be.

If we give them to Jesus

   heavy loads are born with ease.

It is His strength will carry

   our 'impossibilities'.

So do not be downhearted

   or bowed down with loads of care –

For where your greatest need is

   Christ Jesus will be there.

 

 

 

 

 

There was a chestnut horse

   that everyone admired.

Of showing his good points

   the horse was never tired                                                               

He could jump any fence.

   His paces were superb.

He could do anything

   and still be undeterred.

But there was a problem

   he fought continually.

His big feet were diseased

   but nobody could see.

His value was the same

   as feet he stood upon

The thing that mattered least

   was whether his coat shone.

So don't be proud of things

   that you're doing today –

If the life you're living

   has foundations of clay.

 It was bound in leather -

   A handsome looking book.

The inside was rubbish –

   not worth a second look.

And yet so many folk –

   valuing what they see -

Would not read the contents –

   whatever they may be.

Are you or I like that?

   judge folk from the outside?

Never realising -

   plain covers often hide –

From an unseeing eye –

   things of far greater worth -

Like wisdom, love and knowledge –

   of Christ's Kingdom on earth.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the bustle of this life

    I must make the time -

Just to be with my Father -

   claim the wealth that is mine.

When I am concerned with

    worldly deeds I find -

I don't hear God's still, small voice

    It's banished from my mind.

Though I try to thank my God

    for each single thing –

It's when, in peace, I listen

    I bear angels sing.

They tell of Jesus' Glory.

   They sing -of His Might .

God tells me what to do

    walking in Christ's Light

I never have too many

    deeds to fill my time –

While I walk with Jesus,

    and just make His Way mine.

Jesus, quite sinless, washed the feet

    of those He chose as friends.

He demonstrated by this act –

    in ways we’d comprehend -

As Jesus, Lord of Heaven and earth 

   had such humility -

There is no room for pride in His

   servants like you and me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s  worth tomorrow effort

   to give happiness today –

To give joy that warms the heart

   down the future’s narrow way.

Leave nothing to ‘tomorrow’

   for ‘tomorrow’ may not come.

Then there’ll be only regret

   for those things you could have done.
