A Rhyme with Reason

I saw it all last week I think – a baby dedication
At a church I was invited to, to witness the occasion

A happy bunch of souls they seemed all gathered there together
“Welcome, it’s good to see you all,†and, “isn’t it lovely weather.â€Â

A song, a hymn, a word, a prayer and then an exhortation
“What next?†I thought, “Oh yeah that’s right, the mandatory donation.â€Â

At last the baby there was ‘blessed’, the part I’d come to see
“Heaven belongs to such as these, so let them come to Meâ€Â

These words of Jesus I recall, for all of us who come
Find peace and rest, tranquillity, in God through Christ His Son

This thought resounding in my mind soon faded out of view
The sermon started – The First Commandment – “Oh God what shall I do?â€Â

Do you suppose these people know the law was given to Jews?
Not likely, they’re all sitting there attentive in their pews

Perhaps they think that God is found by keeping to the letter
Galatian churches did this too, but should have known better

Hood-winked! Yes, indeed they were, in righteousness by deed
If that were true Christ died for nought, the Gospel we don’t need

I wish I’d`heard the grace of God and preaching of the cross
The Kingdom could have grown that day, instead it suffered loss

The saddest part about this case is that there’s many more
They preach the code incessantly, from every pulpit floor

I have a message for the church direct from God above
No, it’s not new nor is it old it is that God is love

He sent His Spirit like the wind, just as the bible says
It’s coming and its going hid, but God the fruit displays

There is no need for man to toil to earn this gift of life
Believing is the answer, and it saves a lot of strife

A simple faith – that of a child is all that God requires
The change will then be inside out, fulfilling His desires

My Reason Poem

Beautifully done. I would like to share my Reason poem here if ok. Thank you.



REASON

To everything there is a reason
A reason for everything under the sun
A reason why we become sad
And a reason why we have fun

To everything there is a reason
A reason why life sometimes is a mystery
A reason for events to fall into place
And a reason they made history

To everything there is a reason
A reason why new birth takes place
A reason why there was a death
And a reason why it we had to face

To everything there is a reason
A reason why nature becomes a new
A reason why the earth does replenish
And a reason why that old tree grew

To everything there is a reason
A reason why new love comes along
A reason we must accept that love
And a reason why it does belong

To everything there is a reason
A reason God planned it that way
A reason it becomes the mystery
And a reason it is known someday

The Knowledge to which we put our tasks
Is like the days and gathered past
And Should we pass these roads again
Why then, the same bridges we could mend
--But time is its Spite.
