Tucked into the Root of Jesse,
Anchored there by wooden grain;
Feeding on the bark of crosses,
Nourished by the Saviour’s vein.

Pensive Percher
Pensive percher, do you worry
what this new year has in view?
Or do you trust your Saviour ‘s promise
always to provide for you?
It Could Have Been an Angel
It could have been an angel,
whose rustle I just heard –
it could have been the breath of God
advancing Living Word;
it could have been a baby’s cry
with virgin-breath its kin;
it could have been my heart’s rebirth,
as Saviour entered inn.
As Thorns Bleed Red
As thorns bleed red on wounded brow,
your autumn pain reminds me how
my Saviour bled, with precious flow,
to plant the seed where I would grow.
If I Had a Jacob’s Ladder
If I had a Jacob’s Ladder
I could climb and touch the stars;
I would leave the past behind and
Make extinct these prison bars.
Rung by rung I’d inch up closer,
Climb upon my Saviour’s knee.
If I had a Jacob’s ladder,
I could find a way to Thee!
‘Tis the season for the Jacob’s Ladder to bloom. I’ve been waiting to get a good shot of a creepy-crawly climbing it – but I have made do with my imagination when nature didn’t oblige me!
