As We Leave the Crossing...

Here's the poem I wrote for grad (called "As We Leave the Crossing...")

Maybe it’s time for a redefinition
Time for a difference, a change of position
We’ve been placed here, brought here, given a mission
For such a time as this

We’ve been taught, we’ve been trained, and now it’s time to go
I don’t want to leave but somehow I know
God has placed us here for just a short time
To tell us over and over “Beloved, you are mine.

“Don’t depend on the future; don’t dwell on the past,
I’ll be your strength to do whatever I ask
Be diligent today with what’s I’ve placed before you
Trust that I’m faithful to call and to do”


Facing the world now seems a daunting task
Dealing with old burdens, is it too much to ask?
But stand firm in His Word and in Him delight
Meditate on His precepts all day and all night.

Allow Him to reveal what’s in your heart of hearts
And trust that He’s good as He cleans your inner parts
Moment by moment, choose what He tells you is best
Give it all up to Him, He’ll take care of the rest!

Remember that God is unchanging, eternal
He loves us the same, He will always be faithful
He’s demands all the glory, He’s the lion and the lamb
He’s our ruler, our king, the perfect I AM

Maybe it’s time for a redefinition
Time for a difference, a change of position
God has placed us here, brought us here,
Now He sends us on a mission
For such a time as this
