A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK
WITH GOD
WHEN I was
A little bit younger
And a whole lot stronger
I used to walk
Around Riverview Park
A nice park in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Two times around
Was about 4.4 miles
And it would usually take me
About 1 hour and 8 minutes
But sometimes
I would slow down
Take a little bit longer
And take in the BEAUTY
And see the greenery
A couple of times
I even saw some deer
“ALL THIS
You were allowed
To see
That you might know
The Lord is God
And there is no other” Deuteronomy 4:35
SLOW yourself down
And take a DEEPER-
CLOSER walk with God
We can walk
Through life
The same way
A life
Like an exercise
WHERE life is a meaningless trudge
Or slow ourselves down
And take in the greenery
And the deer
And LIFT our eyes
To God
And see the world
And ALL creation
THROUGH NEW EYES
Taking a DEEPER-CLOSER-
WALK WITH GOD
“BLESSED are they
Who have learned
To Acclaim you
Who WALK in the light
Of your presence-Lord” Psalm 89:15
“I AM
The LIGHT of the world
WHOEVER follows me
Will never walk in darkness
But will have
THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12
SLOW yourself down
Walk a little DEEPER
Slow yourself down
Walk a little closer
With God-and with Jesus
By slowing ourselves down
By choosing the latter
It allows us a glimpse
Of the DIVINE
Here on earth
A glimpse of nature
And the greenery
And the deer
A glimpse
Of the MASTER'S handiwork
And a sense of
God's PRESENCE
In our everyday life
TIME to get away
From the hustle and bustle
Of the world
It's time to take
A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK
WITH GOD
“THE SPIRIT
Searches all things
Even the DEEP things
Of God” 1 Corinthians 2:10
Dear Lord-WE PRAY
As we lift
Our eyes to you
That you HELP us take
A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK
WITH YOU-OUR LORD
In Jesus' name
