John 14:5-7 (in Context)

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father

except through Me.

LIFE WITHIN MY GRASP

It must have been awful up on The Cross

To not have your Son-Light recognized

You were content to be my everything

You will always go before me

You are The Truth most never see

Who leads the Way from cradle to grave

Jesus, an all-too-common name

The Son of God who came to save

I think You know that You're my Hero

The Joy and Salvation of my soul

Jesus, You alone give me faith to ask

For You are The Life within my grasp

I admit the following song was the main
inspiration for that poem; YOU MAY
NOTICE SOME SIMILARITIES.

WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

It must have been cold there in my shadow,

To never have the sunlight on your face.

You've been content to see me shine.

You always walked a step behind.

I was the one with all the glory

While you were the one with all strain.

Only a face without a name.

I never once heard you complain.

Did you ever know that you're my hero?

And everything I'd like to be?

I can fly higher than an eagle,

For you are the wind beneath my wings.

If the blind put their hand in God's they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose. -- Helen Keller Sparked by that quote this is an example of one of my favorite poetry exercises: where you begin and finish the poem with the same word and start each line with the word that ended the line before while trying (this is the hard part) to make the whole poem make sense; although if you want to be technical the first and last words are not the same but thought I'd share this one. Enjoy! CLOSE YOUR EYES Close your eyes and see, See your world in the dark; Dark and blue sky come together, Together like clouds in midnight dreams. Dreams tell their own stories, Stories so full of anxiety and joy; Joy and worry paint fading pictures, Pictures made with watercolors in the rain. Rain falls against the windows, Windows shut against raging storms, Storms of life: storms of anger, storms of sorrow, Sorrow like bloody tears falling from the eyes of Christ. Christ and Christ alone opens our hearts, Hearts with eyes closed in fear of what will get in; In place of sorrow He gives joy, for anger grace, Grace withstands faithless fury and holds the sainted sinner close. Jeffrey E Pollock August 13, 2009 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called—His holy people who are His rich and glorious inheritance.[b] 19 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe Him. EPHESIANS 1 OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART LORD I WANT TO SEE YOU

Hebrews 13:5

"I will never leave you nor forsake you."

GOD WON'T LEAVE

God won't leave you lying,

On the far side of the road;

He won't leave you dying,

And not offer Living Hope.

Jesus won't leave you thirsty,

Leaning on the Fountain of True Life;

The Lord won't leave you searching,

When you're looking for His Light.

God won't leave you crying,

In the belly of a whale;

He won't leave you trying,

To discern a great fish tale.

Jesus Christ won't leave us wanting,

When HE IS exactly what we need;

God hasn't left His children hungry,

We have His Truth to set us free!

Jeffree!
