To go or not to go…

Once again the time has come
Change is in the air
This time it goes beyond the way
I’ve had them cut my hair.

Instead, a move, it must be made
We’ve got to fit somewhere
The question now is do I want
To go way over there?

Well, I’ve thought about this matter
Taken stock of all my skills
Remembered that I’m here at work
To help with all the bills.

Through the options that were given
Some things were clear enough
A decision I must make
It’s really not so tough.

I’m sure at times I drive you
To your absolute limit
But what would, my life be like
Without Judy B. right in it?

And so now, I say to you
As did Ruth so long ago.
Where you stay, I’ll stay
And where you go, I’ll go

Your God shall be my God
Your people shall be mine
Your office shall be my….
I guess we’d better draw the line!

The point I want to make
Though I may at times get bored
There really is no other place
I want to serve the Lord.

Nor has He even called
And nudged me to move on
So I guess this really is
Where I still belong

I know for now my place is here
Though these challenges have no end.
I’m thankful to be moving with
A very special friend!
