Poetry
© Bob Barra, 6-26-06
I fall and I fail; such a sad song;
But where I once sat; sorry for self;
I run to the One; to Whom I belong,
Leave all my failures on a lone shelf;
My not having doesn’t stop me,
Forgetting all I’ve left behind;
Still reaching forward to what’s before me,
To grope for the prize of Him who’s so kind;
I’m walking away; leaving the past,
By going to Jesus, ahead of me;
Leaving the dark lord, with large gasp,
Coming to Him, setting me free;
Satan can’t harm me, I am so close
To my Lord Jesus; He protects me;
I keep Him near, my Sharon’s Rose;
“Keep me, Lord Jesus;” this is my plea;
And when I win, what do I do;
Stand up and cheer over success?
No, dear friend; Him I run to,
Forget and run to His address;
So I run and I run, to Him in my eyes,
With a joy freeing from my approach;
I’ll one day find, with glorious surprise,
In heaven I’ve caught my Holy Coach;
So have you fallen; don't be so sad;
Run to the One Who'll set you free;
As you come near, your soul becomes glad;
And you may find nearby is me.
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.”—Phil.3:13-16
