Listen to poem:

The Lake Side Church

The Lake Side Church
David J Walker

The Lake Side Church reminds me
That Jesus walked on water
Jesus fed fish to the 
Uncounted multitudes
Jesus calling out to Peter 
and his brothers 
to abandon their boats and nets 
and follow Him

The Lake Side Church reminds me
God separated the 
Waters from the dry lands
in the same way
He parted ways 
with the lights of the
nights and days
And created the 
Woman from the man 
In the dry dust on hand
made in various colors of clays 

The Lake Side Church reminds me
That Noah build an Ark on dry land
And no person would understand 
The parade of animals who did

The Lake Side Church held 
Saturday picnics on 
Namesake shores
People dressed in white 
In boats without oars
Begging to be baptized 
Before the Rapture that 
Could come any day
