Jesus And Java

Jesus and Java

I sit on my porch drinking coffee
Never failing to find you there
Always talking of needs and wants
Sometimes selfishly…… I dare

Not consider this burden you haul
A pure sacrifice of adoring love
To a wicked generations of me
Whom have been gifted a heaven above

The amazing Grace all around us
And we’re marching like hypnotized clones
While you forgive wretches like me
Still were casting our hypocrite stones

Ever conflicted I hear your voice
Warm as honey in my soul
Promising me truth in your freedom
To make this rancid heart whole

Someday I’ll breathe my last tomorrow
With hopes My Savior will appear
To take my hand and lead me home
Whispering his solace in my ear

For not a dreary day has come
That you haven’t led my way
From my darkness to your light
Eternally .. grateful.. I patiently pray

Untying Knots

Most of us had a hard time learning to tie our shoes. Tightening shoes by wrapping strings together? Nothing easy about that. Who came up with the idea of shoes anyway?

My friend Roy used to sit on a park bench watching kids gather and play at the bus stop. One day a little fellow struggled to board the bus, frantically trying to disentangle a knotted shoestring. He grew more anxious by the moment. All of a sudden it was too late. The bus door closed. With tear-filled eyes he looked at Roy on the bench and asked, “Do you untie knots?”

We never outgrow the urge to look up and say, “Help!” And when we do, who shows up? Jesus, our next-door Savior. Go ahead, ask him: “Do you untie knots?” “Yes,” he will say.

As We Behold Him

2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “We all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness…” As we behold him, we become like him.

It’s a principle I experienced first-hand when an opera singer visited our church. He sat right behind me. He tried to contain himself, but how can a tuba hide in a room of piccolos? I was startled. Inspired. Emboldened by his volume. I lifted mine. Did I sing better? No. But did I try harder? No doubt. His power brought the best of me.

Could your world use a little music? If so, invite heaven’s baritone—Jesus Christ—to cut loose. Who knows? A few songs with him might change the way you sing!
