Why Have You Come

When Jesus fed the multitude 
That gathered by the sea 
They came for different reasons 
Whatever their need might be 

Some came for the miracles 
To see Him raise the dead 
Others followed aimlessly 
Just wanting to be fed 

Some were just plain curious 
To see the things they've heard 
But some came for salvation 
And to hear Him preach God's Word 

I know why I will follow Him 
For I know He is God's Son 
We all have different reasons 
Do you know why you have come

Over the last years I have seen you grow- from writing about your MIL hell, to words of faith. You are truly an amazing poet, Larry.
