God's good people

If you know anything of the history of Israel and their Roman conquers, then you know that Jesus lived in a pretty cruel, unforgiving, violent world.  Even many leaders and high priest of the Jews , who were given the judgements and authority over their own people, didn't recognize their own sins or hypocrisies, and passed "the dirty work" on to Pilate, who was not such a nice guy, either.  That is the way of the world, then and now.  We have not changed a lot in the last 2.000 years or so And Israel is still under the hammer, so to speak, fearful of domination or worse, annihilation.  In the passage of time, we as a civilization, have not learned a whole lot.  Will we ever?  And do you ever wonder how one man so changed the world?

I NEVER SHOULD BE TIRED

OR SHED A SALTY TEAR

NEVER KNOW THE HEART ACHE

OF LIVING LIFE IN FEAR

I AM BLESSED BY

CHRIST,  PURE AND HOLY

AND LIVE WITHIN HIS SIGHT

AND ALL ATTENDING ANGELS

PRAISE HIM DAY AND NIGHT

I KNOW I'M WEAK AND

 SINFUL

IN MUCH I SAY AND DO

I KNOW THE LORD

 FORGIVES ME

FOR IN HIM I PLACE

MY TRUST

MANY OF GOD'S PEOPLE

HAVE FELL ALONG THE WAY

THE PATH IS STREWN 

WITH SUFFERING

 AND FAILURES OF EACH DAY

BUT WITH HIS LOVING KINDNESS

HE TAKES US IN HIS HEART

WE TRY AGAIN

WE PRAY AGAIN

THAT WE SHALL NEVER

PART

All right, then.  I'm tired and this poem isn't very good.  I can "polish" it on a later date.  Saturday sort of sneaked up on me and it seems like time is going a lot faster than I am.  Tomorrow, "my day off, so I will go to church(a good place for all us sinners)then sleep the rest of the afternoon away.
