Child, Are You Laden With Burdens?

Child, Are You Laden With Burdens? Child, are you laden with burdensThat are not sent down by Me?Crippled and failing, you struggle,Losing your bright test’mony. Roll all those burdens upon Me.Seek to do only My will,Don’t let unnecessary pressureYour life o’erwhelmingly fill. Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

Unto the Pure

Unto the Pure Unto the pure, all things are pure?It seems to be untrue,For in a world of sin and wrongThings gain an impure hue. But to pure who shun the wrongAnd flee from sin and vice,Who keep their garments spotless, whiteThis statement doeth suffice. Their eyes are fixed upon a homeWhich is not of […]

Don’t Go and Ask My Family

Don’t Go and Ask My Family Don’t go and ask my familyAbout my Christian walk!Thank goodness they are silent folksWhat if the girls should talk? It’s safe to lose my temper there;To be both cruel and mean,As long as no-one hears of it,Or nothing has been seen! But child, the home is paramount.It tests reality.You’re […]

Unkind

Unkind Unkind I’ve been to parents, brother, sister.In word and deed, I hurt them every day.So many things that could have eased their burdensI’ve left undone upon my selfish way. I did not heed, dear Lord, Thy earnest pleadingThat I would love, forgive; be tender, kind.If I neglect Thy clear and strict injunction,I to Thy […]

My Motives

My Motives Lord am I seeking the well-done of othersWhen I am being benevolent, kind?What is my motive behind the good actions?There in the innermost, what dost Thou find? Is it a heart that is full of compassion,Selfless in seeking a soul to relieve?Only for others, my burning incentiveOr is there pride that can injure […]

My Tongue To-day

My Tongue To-day What has my tongue set forth to-day?Kindness that smoothed another’s way?Was it a harsh and biting word?Or was my tongue with pity stirred? Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

I Took A Little Sin

I Took A Little Sin Dear Lord I took a little sinTo come and dwell with me,So small it wasn’t seen at allAnd hid from all, but Thee! But now this little sin has grownAnd robbed me of my joy.It has become my master.I am in its employ! My child, you cannot harbour sinWithout a […]

Disobedience

Disobedience Dear Lord, I neglected to witness.The cry of the lost I ignored.But now I take up Thy commissionTo reach the unsaved, precious Lord. Dear God when I should have been silent,I argued and spoke out of turn.Thy truths I flung down in great anger;Nought could souls from me therefore learn. Dear Lord, Thou hast […]

The Poor Man

The Poor Man The poor man on the country road,Battered, bleeding, spent,Cried for help to all who came;Several past him went. A priest came by with pious mien.He must have seen the man For swift he turned his head awayAnd almost from him ran. The footsteps of the Pharisee,With head in haughty poise,Too passed him […]

I Murmured

I Murmured Dear God, Thy child did murmur.She embraced discontent,Dissatisfied with others,With her lot by Thee sent. She did not count her blessings.She did not see that ThouHad showered her with goodness,With mercy did endow. Until she was awakenedTo see another’s woe,To stand beside a sister,Her deeper sorrows know. And thus Thy child was humbled,Ashamed […]
