Lest In The End...

Lest in life’s busy arrogance

Lest in the subtle sweep

Of moments as they slip and dance

From deep to ether deep

…lest in the have and hold-let-go

Lest in ‘fight the good fight’

Lest in life’s wish-tide ebb and flow

Of morning, noon to night

…lest in thought’s great forgetfulness

And mentor-ship of clocks

Lest in the glorious commonness

Of what morning unlocks

Lest after all is said and done

And every exhale spent

Lest when this little life has gone

The way of time’s intent

Lest in the end of all this fuss

Of fretting human race

We miss the One who died for us

And saves us by His grace

We ought, love-bound, to seek Him now

With daily heart-soul verve

Lest when we lay this dust-garb down

We get what we deserve

© Janet Martin

When we love Him with heart and soul
and mind,,then doubt and fear
and all the demons of their kind
in His Peace disappear


***

We cannot find His peace
unless we believe
We cannot believe
unless we repent
We cannot repent
Unless we
Believe


***

What we believe in our hearts
shows in our hands

If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
