I am on a journey, through life.
The way has sweet joys and strife.
But whatever be the scene I am in,
My Lord and I will win.

Sunrise and sunset spinning the purest of gold,
Warming the heart with love untold.
Yet all love is but a grasping of the wind,
Futile if Jesus were not my friend.

The course may be long, smooth or rough,
But the Master knows when it’s enough.
To everything a time and place appointed,
Designated the timetable for his anointed.

As the winds grow colder and the night grows darker,
When the heart grows faint and weaker,
When it plunges into a tunnel dark and deep,
Anguish and fear in the soul doth seep.

But the Father knows in His great plan,
The valley of weeping is necessary for man.
To grow a little more like Jesus everyday,
To shine His love in everything we do, think or even say.

To walk victorious in Christ,
We ought to remember the price.
Live life in humility and not disguise.
Remembering for our sins, Christ did die.

Welcome to FaithWriters Anita. I'll definitely look forward to reading more of your work as you share it with us. I particularly liked the first two verses of this poem. The second one painted a quite lovely picture in the first two lines. I think the only part of the poem that caused me a bit of a "hiccup", was the very last line. I'm not sure whether it's theologically accurate to say that "Christ daily dies" for our sins. He died once and, because of the resurrection, now lives forever more in glory - one sacrifice for all of mankind. That's why I stumbled a little there I think. But apart from that one little bit, I thought your poem was really quite beautiful and definitely written straight from the heart. When I've been in those dark places, I've been so thankful to have Christ to hold onto. With love, Deb
