WHAT A FRIEND

 WHAT A FRIEND

What a friend we have in Jesus.

I can’t explain it, wouldn’t even try;

I only experience what others would 

categorically deny:

I have this constant companion,

on whom I can thoroughly rely;

Simplicity in elementary, 

Dear Watson, 

There’s no escaping. Where would I go?

Even if I tried.

God has my heart.

And Jesus got my back.

In the Holy Ghost, there’s no lack.

Bottom Line

            “BOTT0m LINE”                                                                                                                                    Count it all lost; matter of fact.                                                                                  Let the tares grow up with the wheat.                                                                      As though a zipper parting.                                                                                 At its threshold, in Plainview.                                                                          Wolf pack growling carnivorously.                                                                                at the door, crouched to pounce;                                                                  calculated overrated: until dismissing                                                                  value runs its course.
