Hi All.
This is one of my own poems, and I hope you enjoy.

Come sit beside me child, I heard him say.
It has gone so dark where is the day?.
"Take my hand " the stranger said.
Why am I always so easy led?.

I'll give you all the things this world can hold,
If to me, your soul is sold.
Riches are yours beyond compare,
If you stay here and don't go there.

I reached out my hand, as oft I do,
but the light came back within my soul.
Would I ever leave you, or forsake you?"
My Father caught me once again.

If in this world you live in fear.
Remember Jesus holds you near.
When the stranger comes to call
Jesus will not let you fall.

Hold fast to arms that never fail.
look up to eyes so full of love.
Take hold of hands that took the nails.
Strive onwards to Heaven above.

Ten's of thousands voices sing.
"Praise be to God our King.
The Lamb's book is open wide.
Hear your name, then step inside.

Safe in Jesus, now we rest.
Eyes fixed firm upon His face.
We ran, and ran, now won the race.
God's love for us is nought but best.

In Christ.

Valerie.

I really love your poem what is the title to it?

So sorry. The title is "Striving Upwards". Glad you enjoyed it Sister.

In Christ.

We're so easy to sell out to Satan in our struggles sometimes, aren't we? I know I am..... that is an encouraging poem!
