Joyce Johnson Poet Quatrain

Saved

Jesus saved me from the current
Placing me on higher ground.
I was whirling towards the rapids
‘Til his loving arms I found.

Jesus guided me to safety,
When no other seemed to care,
Gently guarding me from hazards
That I didn’t know were there.

Now I’m swimming in the shallows.
There is nothing more to fear,
Confident I’ll reach the shoreline,
Knowing that He is so near.
.


No. 1 win
