The Edge of a Dream

What is it like

to wake up from your musing

to find the mist clearing up before your eyes

and see glimpses of the world beyond

What is it like

to stand at the edge of a dream

to discover that reality looks somewhat familiar

because you’ve seen it in your sleep

What is it like

to realize that talks of changing the world in times past

are not so far-fetched after all

and your hands can seize and mold the presence

What is it like

to awaken with a thrill in your heart

to feel its reverberation in your soul

and find that these are the days

when life is better than dreams

Living for Jesus

A hymn by Thomas O. Chisholm, 1917

Living for Jesus, a life that is true,
Striving to please Him in all that I do;
Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free,
This is the pathway of blessing for me.

Refrain:
O Jesus, Lord and Savior, I give myself to Thee,
For Thou, in Thy atonement, didst give Thyself for me;
I own no other Master, my heart shall be Thy throne;
My life I give, henceforth to live, O Christ, for Thee alone.

Living for Jesus Who died in my place,
Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace;
Such love constrains me to answer His call,
Follow His leading and give Him my all.

Living for Jesus, wherever I am,
Doing each duty in His holy Name;
Willing to suffer affliction and loss,
Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

Living for Jesus through earth’s little while,
My dearest treasure, the light of His smile;
Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem,
Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

Acts 17:28 “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.”

No Ending

I see extremities, He sees opportunities

I see a wall, He sees a veil

In every cul-de-sac there’s a secret passage way

On every horizon there’s a step beyond

I see opportunities unveiled

I take a step along the passage way

In Him, beside Him, discovery and wonder are my present
