Thy-Way or My-Way Highway

It's All About Him-Alan Jackson

How easy it is fall from Sunday morning's pew-secure 'Thy-Way, Lord

to Monday morning's My-way Highway😐

Yesterday's message 

and the past few devotions

...are part of the inspiration for this poem

Holy and wholly Thine 

Lord, teach us how to pray 

Thy kingdom come 

Thy will be done 

Thou Potter, I, the clay 

Except the kernel falls 

Into the ground and dies 

It cannot yield 

The goodly field 

That broken seed supplies 

The hardest death we die 

Is veiled in life's façade

As we resign 

The will of ‘mine’ 

To ‘Thine alone, Oh God’ 

Aha, tis not the gift 

That anchors and assures 

But mortal lives 

Through He who gives 

And only death/faith secures 

How easily we fall 

Not to the ground to die 

But to the taunts 

Of selfish wants 

And mistrust’s crafty lie 

Holy and wholly Thine 

No lesser pleas avail 

Thy kingdom come 

Thy will be done 

All else is but to fail

Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Matt 6:10
