Two Years Ago – Jenny Daniel

Two Years Ago Two years ago? It seems like yesterday That you so quietly, gently slipped away With pipes and tubes attached to a machine A second more! into a different scene! Did angels carry you to God that day? How I had longed to go with on your way But God said “Stay! Keith’s […]

When The Storms of Life are Raging!

When The Storms of Life are Raging! When the storms of life are raging And I cannot see ahead When the path so steep – I tremble To go where God has led! I find in Christ my Saviour The strength needed each day To take the step before me Set by Him on life’s […]

This Modern World

This Modern World It’s tempting in this modern worldTo skim the edge of sin;To seek the world’s approval,Desire her smile to win. It seems so hard to be the oneThat’s always saying NoTo what the world deems reasonable.It aggravated them so. And thus I’m tempted to go downThe lanes that God abhors,While Satan’s music fills […]

Voices Keep Calling God’s Children

Voices Keep Calling God’s Children Voices keep calling God’s childrenTo wander from His way.Images keep on appearing,Seeking their will to sway. Does the way seem too stony?Is the path very rough?Does your whole being cry out:“Surely it is too tough ‘”? Do the world’s lights allure you?Have you turned from the plough?Is your light burning […]

Let Us Pull Out the Tares

Let Us Pull Out the Tares “Dear Lord, let us pull out the tares,”The eager servants cried.“We can’t accept an alien plant.It should not stay, abide. “We’re very able, Lord, to judge;Those tares identify,Thus let us rip them from the fieldThy crop to purify.” “Wait, wait,” the Master cried, “don’t touchOr pull a single tare.For […]

Life and Death

Life and Death Life and death in the tongue’s mighty gripIn a short moment it turns to a whip.Where sweet encouragement is in dire needIt rather breaks down, that sufferers bleed. In a short second a life has been slain,Causing destruction again and again,But in the thoughts which the tongue has put inThere on the […]

My Great Failure

My Great Failure How can I be a witness?How can I be a light?When my great failure hoversNever quite out of sight? No-one can see God’s beautyPast my enormous scar.That failure life o’ershadows;My test’mony doth mar. Don’t let the faults of bygonesRob you of fruit to-day.Don’t let it mar your imageAnd haunt you on life’s […]

When I Look at Peter

When I Look at Peter When I look at Peter,With his failure public’ly,It would seem he neverCould have been a test’mony. After all the PeterThat we read of in God’s wordSwore and denied Jesus,And the gathered crowd heard. Then the eager cockerelHad crowed with lusty lung.Stirring Peter’s conscience;His repentance had begun. Peter was so humbled,As […]

It Is Not

It Is Not It is not where you go to-day,But if it is God’s will,That will allow His wondrous peaceYour very soul to fill. It is not that you’re working hardAnd labouring each day,But whether burdens you absorbI placed upon your way. Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

Ambassador

Ambassador Ambassador, ambassador,Is that my calling clear?To be a representativeUpon this earthly sphere? My dress, my speech, yes everything,A pointer to God’s will,So that a hunger for His realmThe seeking souls will fill. Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

Child, Are You Laden With Burdens?

Child, Are You Laden With Burdens? Child, are you laden with burdensThat are not sent down by Me?Crippled and failing, you struggle,Losing your bright test’mony. Roll all those burdens upon Me.Seek to do only My will,Don’t let unnecessary pressureYour life o’erwhelmingly fill. Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

Unto the Pure

Unto the Pure Unto the pure, all things are pure?It seems to be untrue,For in a world of sin and wrongThings gain an impure hue. But to pure who shun the wrongAnd flee from sin and vice,Who keep their garments spotless, whiteThis statement doeth suffice. Their eyes are fixed upon a homeWhich is not of […]

Don’t Go and Ask My Family

Don’t Go and Ask My Family Don’t go and ask my familyAbout my Christian walk!Thank goodness they are silent folksWhat if the girls should talk? It’s safe to lose my temper there;To be both cruel and mean,As long as no-one hears of it,Or nothing has been seen! But child, the home is paramount.It tests reality.You’re […]

Unkind

Unkind Unkind I’ve been to parents, brother, sister.In word and deed, I hurt them every day.So many things that could have eased their burdensI’ve left undone upon my selfish way. I did not heed, dear Lord, Thy earnest pleadingThat I would love, forgive; be tender, kind.If I neglect Thy clear and strict injunction,I to Thy […]

My Motives

My Motives Lord am I seeking the well-done of othersWhen I am being benevolent, kind?What is my motive behind the good actions?There in the innermost, what dost Thou find? Is it a heart that is full of compassion,Selfless in seeking a soul to relieve?Only for others, my burning incentiveOr is there pride that can injure […]

My Tongue To-day

My Tongue To-day What has my tongue set forth to-day?Kindness that smoothed another’s way?Was it a harsh and biting word?Or was my tongue with pity stirred? Jenny Daniel Facebook Twitter WhatsApp Pinterest Email

I Took A Little Sin

I Took A Little Sin Dear Lord I took a little sinTo come and dwell with me,So small it wasn’t seen at allAnd hid from all, but Thee! But now this little sin has grownAnd robbed me of my joy.It has become my master.I am in its employ! My child, you cannot harbour sinWithout a […]

Disobedience

Disobedience Dear Lord, I neglected to witness.The cry of the lost I ignored.But now I take up Thy commissionTo reach the unsaved, precious Lord. Dear God when I should have been silent,I argued and spoke out of turn.Thy truths I flung down in great anger;Nought could souls from me therefore learn. Dear Lord, Thou hast […]

The Poor Man

The Poor Man The poor man on the country road,Battered, bleeding, spent,Cried for help to all who came;Several past him went. A priest came by with pious mien.He must have seen the man For swift he turned his head awayAnd almost from him ran. The footsteps of the Pharisee,With head in haughty poise,Too passed him […]

I Murmured

I Murmured Dear God, Thy child did murmur.She embraced discontent,Dissatisfied with others,With her lot by Thee sent. She did not count her blessings.She did not see that ThouHad showered her with goodness,With mercy did endow. Until she was awakenedTo see another’s woe,To stand beside a sister,Her deeper sorrows know. And thus Thy child was humbled,Ashamed […]

At the Judgment Seat

At the Judgment Seat There at the judgment seat of ChristWill my eyes shed bitter tearsFor the souls that I neglectedDown countless wasted years? Were there questions I avoided?Were there longings I ignored?Did I fear mankind’s rejectionAnd thus deny Thee, Lord? Ah what bitter sighs and moaning;Ah what cries for chances lost,When I see my […]

It’s Easier

It’s Easier It’s easier to be a light To people far away Than to be a constant witness To the home folks every day. The pressure keeps on mounting; The anger in me boils; Behind closed doors I’m failing; The family recoils. Ah Lord, I’ve let Thy calling Fall down, escape from me! I did […]

Lord, I Am Shy

Lord, I Am Shy Lord, I am so shy that I Should really be excused.Others are more competentFor thee, dear Lord, to use. Moses felt he couldn’t speak,Thy mouthpiece could not be,Thus Aaron was the spokesman sentWho spoke so fluently. Yet if I considerThe path that Aaron went,The calves he made the people serveThe criticism […]

Why Should I Make an Effort?

Why Should I Make an Effort? Why should I make an effort,Exert myself each day,When I could be recliningAnd slouch upon life’s way? One day when I reach heaven,What shame will fill my breast,That I had been so lazyNot given of my best! How can I meet my SaviourKnowing that I’ve misusedThe precious time He’s […]

I Always Dreamt

I Always Dreamt I I always dreamed what I should beFrom childhood ‘til to-day.Somehow I mapped a certain pathCareer, to mark my way. But suddenly the Master cameAnd said, “Child, Follow me.The work that I planned long agoI do assign to thee.” So different from the dreams that IHad dreamt so long ago,And thus the […]

I Thought That I Could Still Be Friends

I Thought That I Could Still Be Friends I thought that I could still be friends With those from worldly days. I thought that I could still be friendsWith those from worldly days.I thought that I could influence themIn many different ways. And so I went to places thatA Christian should not be,And did some […]

I See A Person Bending

I See A Person Bending I see a person bendingBeneath a heavy loadSo many ‘why’s’ and ‘wherefores’Are in that burden stowed.Each day the weight is growingThe back more crooked bentDespairing and despondingThe heart within is rent! But outstretched hands are waitingWithin each laden dayUpon his darkened wayGive up your burden dear oneJust hand it o’er […]

At the Brink of the Day

At the Brink of the Day At the brink of the day, His tender voiceSeemed to whisper unto me,“I need your limbs, your heart, your mindTo heed me faithfully. “Not in the halls of fame, dear child,Nor for the crowd’s applause,But in the home with all its chores;Yes, dear, behind closed doors.” At the brink […]
