"THE 'CRY'!"
© 2002 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book # 8}
The 'cry' of a Mother's heart
for her children ~ who are lost,
Is no different than our Savior
Who paid ALL the 'cost'!
Weeping for her babes
as she kneels down in prayer,
Knowing they are 'rebellious'
living ~somewhere~ out there.
JESUS ~ weeping for His children
seeking to draw them nigh,
So they can enter Heaven
right by His Throne on High.
The SPIRIT speaking to them
~hard hearts~ who won't listen,
Can't you see our tears
~under our eyes~ that glisten?
So many Fathers, too,
whose hearts are bleeding & broken,
For their sons & daughters
with whom they have not spoken.
Yes, children who've turned their backs
going 'away' from God,
Instead of running to Him
~isn't that very sad?~
So close ~ yet far away
but ~please~ NEVER give up,
For as long as they are 'alive'
there's still HOPE ~ they will 'go up'!
Into the Arms of JESUS
'ETERNAL LIFE' ~ 'FORGIVEN',
Because JESUS 'paid the price'
when those NAILS ~ were driven!
'KEEP' PRAYING for your children
surrendering them to CHRIST,
LOVE them very deeply
don't forsake ~ or enter into strife.
Never let the devil
take the upper hand,
But keep on INTERCEDING
you can do it ~ YES, YOU CAN!
Your LOVE for JESUS ever 'growing'
drawing 'closer' every day,
May be the 'key' for our children
to ~one day~ hear them say:
"I want to follow Jesus, too,
in all I think & say & do,
I want to Love & Seek His Will
so my heart & Soul He'll fill.
I want to learn to KNOW Him well
then I, too, ~ won't burn in hell!
For JESUS paid the cost for me
when He died upon that tree.
I am so sorry for my sin
~ rejecting CHRIST ~ & you, my friend.
Oh, please FORGIVE ME, Christ my Lord
& teach me from ~The 'Living' Word."
Such words we all long to hear
from our childrn ~ who are dear!
We truly love them with all our hearts
yet JESUS loves them ~ MORE than we,
He is standing by The Father
'interceding' for all ~ can't you see?
Desiring that we love Him
more than 'life' itself,
Wanting to 'use' us for His Kingdom
instead of rotting on a shelf.
Remember always, my dear friend
He'll stand by you ~ till The End.
Longing for your fellowship
praying for you ~ to make that Trip.
So, don't quit 'praying'
or 'loving' your children,
Keep hanging in there
till ~ The End.
As long as there's still breath in me
I'll keep PRAYING ~ on my knee.
For our children ~ lost in sin
that ~One Day HEAVEN~ they'll Enter in!
There is a 'world' of lost & dying
children all around us,
Oh, that they would CHOOSE
* J ~ E ~ S ~ U ~ S *
The Savior Who came
~just for them~
~~ Mom's & Dad's ~ just like you ~~
