****Best Viewed "Full Screen" (600x800).....Music may be heard on IE**** Trust by Nancy L. Meek © 10-14-02 Our purpose in life should be to love, For it is God's wish that this we do Here on earth and in heaven above, In realms physical and spiritual, too. His will is not for us to die, but live, If not in this life, then the one beyond. To each and everyone He did give A will to with the good or evil bond. Those who perish on the battlefield From famine, pestilence or flood Are but victims of what sin did yield... A pride-filled Eden turned to mud So we walk in trepidation and fear, Crying to heaven, "Why me, Lord? Why take those we hold so dear?" We struggle, looking for the reward. But....Why not me? Why not them? Did not Jesus walk through the fire With God's love surrounding Him? Did not He suffer, too, then expire? The battle between good and evil Led His feet to the cross on that hill He did not want to go. Unbelievable! But, alas, it was His Father's will. He trusted God with all of His heart Knowing soon He would meet His death Praying that another might play the part, Yet He walked up toward that last breath. ![]() Hanging on the cross, He humbly prayed Asking His Father to forgive them all. It was our Christ at the end of their blade Who stayed the course and took the fall. God made not a single move to save Him Even as His own family mourned from below. He had to die...to live..to stop a future grim To save many from a Hell some will know. Forgive us, Heavenly Father, for our sins As we forgive those who sin against us For if we do not, then evil will surely win Then, oh then, who in the end will defend us? Thy will be done, Oh Lord...on earth As it is in Heaven. Let it not be our own For surely, goodness and mercy from birth To death, shall follow us...until we make it home. All that is gone indeed gives light to what we see Those dutiful sacrifices made for you and me If we but open our hearts to the Lord and trust That upon the final morrow, there shall He be... Standing on the Summit with His sword in-hand As the final trumpet blows to announce our fate, The Book of Life will open upon His command, We'll all stand in front of the Almighty on that date. For now, what we see is a man-made scene, But the sovereign will of God for you and me Will one day take us to where we've never been 'Tis the belief in Him that will set us truly free Trust in the Lord above with all of your heart And on your own understanding, do not lean For spiritual and physical will always be apart Forevever at war upon the front line between So too, will the spirits, both evil and good Consuming our lives on this human terrain. Each must look within himself, as he should Join the forces from the heavenly domain. If eternal life and freedom is your ultimate goal, Give everything you've got to see it come true Flee from the evil enemy who is after your soul And believe in God's Warrior, who died for you! Sometimes wars can teach us a most vital truth Like how to tell if someone is a friend or a foe But do they all have to die for you, to show proof? No! Some will believe just because they said so! Jesus bled for you upon that cross on the hill Would you not do the same for Him in the end? Will you not give your all and seek His will? Trust Him! He's not the foe! He's your friend! ![]() Hark!
