The inspiration for this song came from the devotion a friend of mine had just brought in our nursing home Bible study the night before. His text was Matthew 14:23-33.
Poetry
Where Are Those Who Remember?
Funny we’ve forgotten what it is we’re supposed to remember….

What is it in the morning calls for stillness? The tall trees stand composed and at attention. The songs of birds are hushed, with one exception, And silent chimes announce the absence of the wind.
Transformation
He doesn't just clean us up on the outside, He makes us completely new from the inside out.
Perfect Example, Perfect Love
Forgiven all my sin, I can forgive And brother-love my heart can now distill; For love of neighbor is indicative That Jesus Christ in me and I in Him now live.
The Shepherd
The Lord of glory that Good Shepherd is; A lamb, I am secure, for I am His.
Villanelle of Christ
Great Redeemer is His name Walked on earth so long ago Age to age He’s still the same
Weep Not
Weep not, dear ones, for I’m not there In casket cold or graveyard bare. I’ve gone to higher country where My Savior did a home prepare For me and others everywhere Who trusted Him with all their care. Weep not.
Precious Memories
Precious mem’ries, how they linger How they ever flood my soul In the stillness of the midnight Precious, sacred scenes unfold.
The Princess and Her Buddy
We take comfort in the words of King David in II Samuel 12:23. They cannot return to us, but we will go to them.
