Notes About The Poem

Reachin- -

Reaching in my pocket trying  to pull out a quarter;
Reaching the oven to see if the pie is in order;
(Is it done?)
But Oh is I, just a shallow one;
Am I Lord reaching my full potential;

All this is lost if I haven’t got order;
I’ll be continually held down if I keep the monkey on my shoulder;
Reaching into my heart, thinking bout marriage;
Reaching for a mutual thing;
(Will it come again?)
But O am I just a dreamer so;
Am I worthy again for love Oh…
All this is lost if I ain’t in order;
All is naught, if I have not God in my order;
I pray reaching in my heart and mind;
I say Lord God keep me give me a sign;
Reaching, in order, reaching, reaching God’s got something for us;
Just be still raise them heart clear those hearts and minds…
Reaching for the mark, reaching for the cross, reaching in onto Christ…
Reaching for His heart, reaching for a brand new start
Reaching in onto the Lord God Jesus Christ…,/

Quoth Theraven July 25, 2019 at 11:52 PM James, I like Old Gospel Songs. The hymnals are slowly being replaced by big displays. If it isn't asking too much. Pray for all of us, sinners and righteous alike. -Richard
