Jim Pemberton Poet Rhyme

Why Am I Here

Why Am I Here?

I’m not here to represent a 
building or a denomination.
I’m here to give the Lord my love
 and admiration.

I’m not here to get “tied down 
with wordly things.”
I’m here to represent Jesus! 
 The King of Kings!

I’m not here to be filled with 
gossip or slander.
But to serve a God, who’s
 power is grander!

I’m not here to live in worry and defeat…
But to allow God to make
 my life complete!

I’m not here to live with 
stress and tension.
But to receive God’s peace 
and satisfaction.

I’m not here to worry about what 
tomorrow may bring.
But to serve a God…  
Who can do ANYTHING!

I’m not here to live a life
 filled with sin…
But to enjoy God’s love 
and peace within!

I’m here for just a brief 
moment of time.
I want to serve God with
 my body, soul and mind.

I’m here right now…  And have 
one more thing to say…
Why not make Christ your Lord?
 Why not today???

Nancy Jones September 24, 2011 at 7:22 PM We all have our reasons... there are many here for noble purposes.. there are some whose intentions are other.. kinda like the wider population... even so, every single soul is a poem written on the back of God's hand. Peace, Jim ~N
