More a Club

2020-07-06 by RNDL

Ah, church that’s more a club than humble saints! They live for self and chafe at God’s restraints and think that he must like what they prefer. Such pride not even Heaven can deter.

Tiresome

2020-06-11 by RNDL

Tiresome reading rants and raves Of people I don’t know; People bellowing from their caves, And others eating crow. So why not stay within my lair, Alone, with none to bother? I’d much prefer not having to hear My own despairing blather.

A Single Eye

2020-06-07 by RNDL

I pray that darkness may not rule my sight, That worldly wealth not govern nor delight: A single eye to see a single thing, A single heart that serves a single King.

Fit for God

2020-06-06 by RNDL

No Extra Time

2020-05-27 by RNDL

I wish I had the extra time That other people waste, What I could do with all those hours: Effectiveness increased! But I do not! I have my own, I have the present moment. To make the best of what I have, I am my own opponent.

The Day of Challenge

2020-05-26 by RNDL

The Day of Challenge arrives; Shall I ignore it? Or drown in successive waves, Passive before it? Shall I leave the soul sleeping? Shall I wake it, To seek the Savior weeping And let him save it? The Challenge is mine from heaven And I shall meet it. Each day, each hour I’m driven To […]
