Rhyme & Reason - a reason to rhyme

Though miles have come between us By choice, I must concur, ‘Tis great to hear what’s happening To our ‘family’ over there. It helps when I am pondering Of days, seems  long  ago, The people I grew up with, The folk I got to know. You think of time as motionless, That all things stay the same, Reality soon kicks into gear, We cannot, that, proclaim. O’er nine years since we left you, Six, since we first returned, Fond memories of o’er forty years, In my heart, have been burned. Those  cannot  be deleted, I wouldn’t  want  to try, You’ll be part of our ‘family’ Until the day I die. Even THEN, we’ll be united In that gathering up above, When things will NOT be changing, We all will know true love.

He did it for you, He did it for me, Came down from on high, To die on a tree. He bore all my burden In tense agony, Took all of my guilt, Though sinless was He. Took ALL of my guilt, For He could foresee Each time I'd rebel And not bend the knee. His love is so fervent, I know you'll agree, His promise is true, You can guarantee. He came, not in fury To judge, but to plea, His life, our redemption, He saved one like me. So thank you  my Jesus Your love set me free, And how can I show it? Just live true to thee. So let us remember The cross at Calv'ry , He did it for you, He did it for me.
