Till I Lay My Head to Rest

[caption id="attachment_454" align="alignnone" width="300"] Ever onward I Go.[/caption]

Though I walk mile after weary mile
Still, there is within me no guile
For to Him I belong, yes
I am His child
Till I lay my head to rest.

 

There is a melody sweet and low

That by this poet must be rung

Out to the world to say

"To Jesus Christ, I belong"

And because of that I sing my song

Till I lay my head to rest.

Driven by a Fire


There is a fire that burns within me that cannot be quenched. It flows from my fingertips to land in prose and verse across my page. And it drips with honeyed, but compelling words from my lips in speeches and songs. What is this fire that burns me so? It is the fiery desire to tell the world of the love of Jesus, as on my story-telling mission I go.

It is Sunday morning and I am excited about the opportunity to attend worship again. There is a need in me to acknowledge the power of God and restoke my internal fire in doing so. And the telling and restoking will continue till I lay my head to rest.

When God gave us Jesus


He gave us His best


And so, the telling and restoking


Will continue till I lay my head to rest


Till I lay my head to rest...
