LEADING MY CHILDREN TO THE LORD

LEADING MY CHILDREN TO THE LORD

This poem is for my children

And for my grandchildren too

It has a very personal connotation

But God said to share it with you

At so many things while growing up

I must say that each of them did excel

I really can’t dispute the fact that

They each had turned out very well

Something I’d have done differently

Because at the time I was in denial

Was to teach them about the Lord

I should have walked that extra mile

They are of the faith that they were born

And yet they still know so little about it

Because if the Lord walks in your path

I think that you’d really want to shout it

For I have seen that burning light

And I chose to jump into the fire

Seeking the love that was taught

By The Lord Yeshua my Messiah

I have so much more to learn as well

So I really can’t tell them what to do

Except seek the Lord and live in Him

And He will walk along side of you

They are all extremely smart in their own ways

And though they are good at the things they do

There is still one important thing that's missing

They each must get to know their Messiah too

They could just give the Lord lip service

Each saying that they will do their part

But to truly know Who and What He is

They’d need to love Him in their heart

Because I can’t dictate what they need to do

Only their true faith will show them the way

The one thing I can do  is to pray for them

Something that I’ll do each and every day

I need to lead each one of of them by your example

Is the Word that the Holy Spirit has given to me

One day in God’s Time they’ll know the truth

That like others who believe will set them free
