I wrote this poem after the arrival of my firstborn, Jon Mark.
The Lord is My Pastor
The Lord is my pastor, I long to hear his voice.
He makes me dive into his Word,
He leads me to quiet places of solitude.
He renews my soul.
He surrounds me with people for his sake.
Whether I receive praise or criticism, I will not give up,
For he is beside me.
His Spirit and Word they encourage me.
Even though my energy and passion sometimes runs dry,
He will strengthen me.
In the presence of his peace, He gives me courage to love.
Surely his guidance, wisdom, and Spirit will lead me
And I will serve on this earth as long as he grants me breath.
August 31, 1995
