Lena Tiggemann Poem
Daddy now, please pray with me,
for today I'm sailing stormy seas.
I know you say you're but a man,
who tries to live the Master's plan.
I'm weathering gray storms, except a few,
and the turmoil would drown me, if not for you.
The wind is so strong, the waves are so high,
Tattered sails against the sky!
And I recall you telling me,
of Jesus Christ, Who calmed the seas.
And yes, small faith can the mountains move,
and how He died His love to prove.
So Daddy now, please pray with me,
to God's sweet Son, Who dwells in me.
For I am daughter of a man,
and weak at times and cannot stand
against these tides of shifting sands.
You say, "He's still upon His throne",
and with our prayers, I'm not alone!
And God is good and loves me still,
He will offer strength to swim these swells.
Oh Daddy now, please pray with me,
Some choices I made were not of Thee.
At times I've wandered and gone astray,
I feel somehow I've lost my way.
Tell me again my right hand he still holds,
and how in heaven the streets are gold, and
once we're there no one is old because now
Jesus holds my soul!
Daddy now please pray with me like when I
was a child of three beside my bed on bended knees.
And perhaps somehow these words I write, may move
another to change their lives, for Jesus loves me this
I know and his blood has washed me white as snow.
And when you've said "In Jesus Name" I feel brand
new and not the same, so daddy now please pray with me
though I am grown and no longer three.
He'll lift me up on wings of love and forgive me
of all the wrong's I'v done! Then I can drop my anchor
deep and mend white sails on peaceful seas!

Lena Tiggemann Poem
Oh child of woe indeed - darker than the night,
What will it take for you to finally see the light?
The sacrifice was made - nailed to a rugged tree,
Thorns that pierced His brow, as He bled for you and me.
When tears have dimmed the eyes and your heart is rent in two,
You’ve wandered from the path and doubt what you should do,
The Redeemer’s name is JESUS, SON OF GOD above,
He feels your every sorrow and covers them in love!
Gray days will come to be when Satan steals your dreams,
And people you have trusted were not as they did seem,
Remember, there is JESUS, the one and faithful friend,
He will stand beside you always - until the very end!
So believe within your heart and ask the Savior in,
Trusting he will forgive you of each and every sin!
The child of woe will die, a child of grace will find life,
For there is no other way- but the SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

Lena Tiggemann Poem
Oh day of promised rapture from final resting place,
The first desire of heart to see my Savior’s face!
The beckoning of trumpet will pierce the Eastern skies,
I yearn so much to greet him and behold him with mine eyes!
Shall I awake in dew clad morn or velvet star-lit night,
Anticipating robe and crown and wings of silver bright!
Enduring grace, sweet love divine did span thou earth’s creation,
Great Son of God who lived to die for sinners soul salvation!
I long to hold thy nail scarred hand and kiss your thorn pricked brow,
Though birthed in sin he snatched me from Hell’s fiery bowel!
Twas stately mansions glistening in heaven’s glory gleam,
Their beauty was astounding as nought I’d ever seen.
The prophets were conversing of ancient days of old,
While children laughed and played on shining streets of gold.
A reunion day is coming dear loved ones and missed friends,
Where we’ll always be together and time shall never end!
Nor tear did dim an eye, and daily cares were gone,
Thousands gathered there to join in angels’ song!
Hallelujah to the Highest, holy praises we did sing,
To lift our voices as one to Christ, The Mighty King!
