Fellowship With Christ

To pray as Jesus prayed,
    When faithless brethren sleep,--
To weep the ruin sin has made--
    The only ones that weep,--
To bear the heavy cross,--
    To toil, yet murmur not,--
To suffer pain, reproach, and loss,--
    Be such our earthly lot.

Yet oh, how richly blessed
    The Master's cup to share,--
The aching grief that wrung His breast,--
    His broken-hearted prayer,--
If thus we may but gain
    One sheaf of golden wheat
Gleaned from Earth's sultry harvest-plain,
    To lay at His dear feet!--

If thus we may but win
    One precious earthly gem
Snatched from the mire of vice and sin,
    For His rich diadem!--
Here, sorrow, patience, prayer;
    In Heaven, the rich reward!
Here, the sharp thorns, the cross,--and there
    "Forever with the Lord"!

Seek First God's Kingdom

Seek First God's Kingdom

Seek first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness for your life,
Do not be anxious for what you lack,
Your needs, God will provide

For God knows when we come to Him,
Just what are our pressing needs
He will satisfy our hungry mouths
While our hungry hearts, He feeds

Store up treasures in heaven above
Where moth and rust won’t decay
And where the value will not decrease,
For it’s eternal and does not fade

And as we do this, we will find,
Our worries soon will cease
And in our souls there's a quietness
Where we will know God’s peace.

Ain't

AIN’T
He was just a little boy,
On a week’s first day.
Wandering home from Bible school,
And dawdling on the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass;
He even found a caterpillar.
He found a fluffy milkweed pod,
And blew out all the ‘filler.’
A bird’s nest in a tree overhead,
So wisely placed up so high.
Was just another wonder,
That caught his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig zag course,
And hailed him from the lawn;
Asked him where he’d been that day
And what was going on.
‘I’ve been to Bible School,’
He said and turned a piece of sod.
He picked up a wiggly worm replying,
‘I’ve learned a lot about God.’
‘M’m very fine way,’ the neighbor said,
‘for a boy to spend his time.’
‘If you’ll tell me where God is,
I’ll give you a brand new dime.’
Quick as a flash the answer came!
Nor were his accents faint.
‘I’ll give you a dollar, Mister,
If you can tell me where God ain’t.’
