Hear the Word of the Lord

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth, It shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 NKJV HEAR THE WORD OF THE LORD While searching for shells and sand dollars Along the ocean shore I chanced to find a tiny church With a broken, hanging door All the windows were long since gone I found not a single pane But I stepped inside to offer a prayer As day began to wane I prayed, Father God, where are they Who used to pass this way Are they worshiping You elsewhere Or been called home with You to stay What of those who came here But never were sincere In why they chose to come at all Since their ears seemed not to hear For those who chose to follow Christ Baptized in His Holy Name I thank You for their salvation Because their lives were never the same Now, Lord, I must wonder Why they closed the door Of this tiny broken down church Along the ocean shore Curtis Moorman 23 September 2011 For the Church by the Ocean contest
