Wales' Tales 040715



If He were to meet you on the road this very day,
Would you recognize him as you went along your way?
Would you feel his presence as you spent your time at work?
Or take the time to greet him as your coffee’d start to perk?
Would you understand his grief as he hung upon the cross?
Could you comprehend his pain, his sorrow and his loss?
How much would it take for you to sense his awesome love?
Would your eyes be open to his Father far above?
Sometimes human beings are so prone to fail to see
How much love and mercy is prepared for you and me.
We tend to be so centered on what we like to do,
On how WE live and how WE act and miss the facts so true
About the kind of God we have who guides us every day,
Who watches us where’er we are – at work, at home, at play.
For God is like a mother hen who shields us as we go
Who keeps an eye on every move, our inmost thoughts to know.
But most of us are prone to act as though God didn’t care,
Who only listens to our needs when we might turn in prayer.
It’s wise for us to ponder the love of God so deep,
Especially when daily life finds sin about to creep
Into the center of our heart, to push us far away
From all the joy and happiness for which Christ had to pay.
His death upon a rugged cross, his body in a tomb,
Reflecting all our human sin, the panic and the gloom.
But death, it could not hold him -His love was much too strong
And in response the world around will join the constant song.
All praise to God in Heaven! Our song shall never cease.
For God has sent a Savior, Our Lord, the Prince of …
