A MAP which guides my life in Christ
Yielded to Him in this busy life.
A MIRROR in which I can see
Exactly how my Lord sees me.
And a closer look as a MICROSCOPE
In finer things there still is hope
To look and see and do and be
All that Jesus wants of me.
A LAMP, a LIGHT to guide the way
And lead me back when I’m astray.
As a TELESCOPE it brings
And helps me understand the things
Which don’t make much sense to me
The Lord reveals with clarity.
A PACKAGE OF LETTERS from the Apostle Paul
To the churches one and all
Admonishing, strengthening, making things clear
All of these things are so dear.
And in the BIBLE yet we see
Some VOLUMES OF FINE POETRY
A BOOK OF PSALMS, some BIOGRAPHIES
Of men who gave great prophesies.
A SWORD which pierces soul and spirit
The BIBLE, inspiring to all who hear it
And believe in Christ the Lord
Receive the blessings He’ll outpour.
As FIRE and a HAMMER too
This BOOK does daily strength renew
As I study it, and learn
The Spirit helps me to discern
And teach to me the proper way
To live and love and praise each day!
Written June 1978
