What do they know
None are perfect…we all fall short. With this in mind, let us be mindful of ‘how’ we ‘correct’ a fellow pilgrim as we journey home. Remember, every individual’s walk with God is different. No two are alike. No one can judge another person’s relationship with Jesus, as it is…personal…in length, depth and ways that others cannot begin to comprehend. Indeed, what does anyone know of another's walk with Jesus…save, Jesus Himself? Let’s press-on, Amen.
What do they know...
of You and me?
of You, who designed…and…
commanded me…to breathe?
What do they know …?
of my development… in the womb
how You structured and prepared
this soul…for earthen entomb?
What do they know of…
the gifts, pulled from Yourself...
and laid within this destined castoff...kept
‘til designated…time of purpose…felt?
They know nothing... of You understanding…
my babble…before You taught me to speak
…nothing! of You prodding, urging…first step…
strengthening muscles unsure and weak
They have no idea of…things…that were done
while me too young…to tell, lest explain
nor…of the angels that You sent
to comfort and play…when loneliness came
What do they know of …
the wretched inner pangs and turmoil
that wrestled and pushed this flesh…
to lash-out, hurt, seethe and boil?
They have not even an…inkling
of the…me…that searched and roamed
filthy pathways with dead-end roads…
seeking…an inhabitable dome
What do they know of the hour, when You…
there all the time, revealed…Your Glorious Self?
changing me, my life forever, as I came…
to comprehend…Your Love’s Wealth
They can’t begin…to grasp the crest of our bond
how we commune… hour after hour
whereby my continued existence …is due only
to the…potent…of Your Saving Power
None can imagine…my savored calm…
when You catch my tears and hush my sighs
how Your Arms rock me to sleep, and then…
stir…to another…deemed…sunrise
They cannot phantom the…root…of Praise
coming forth at the …oddest…of times
adoring…The One…Who has Always…Loved me
whether I be...high or low…inclined
What do they know…yea! what do they know?!
of our etched closeness and depth…
a surrounding tie…that's mandated to live
far beyond…mortal death!
Yahweh, oh Jesus! What do they know…?!
like the wind which listeth that none can see…
Oh, what do they know…?!
Of You…and…me?
