Jesus
is a "Country Boy"
Our
Father issued a clarion invite for any believer to stand tall
While
heaven echoed patient silence as not one took His call
A
good friend and I were celebrating just purely for the Joy
Relieving
my worn out angel-guardian, Jesus is a country boy
In
my old red pickup truck, the Son sat shotgun by my side
Trekked
up Rocky high, winged-horses on His Great Divide
Down
western slope ’til green-Northwest Pacific-blue I spied
Touched
San Fran Bay, secular L.A., deep Grand Canyon wide
Texas
wild arroyo Llano Estacada to New Orleans Hell-gate pride
Tasted
fresh and clear the Keys and Cayman Islands blue crystal tide
On
Savannah to Atlanta northeast enjoyed the Atlantic seaboard stride
Touched
village on Lake Michigan, visited wide prairie landscape slide
Never
“Too late!” Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead---evil devil defied
This
sad lost Hedonist, His friend, with parables did Jesus subtly deride
Saints
among us, angels, too, He loaned and prayed they help me decide
Through
it all until the journey end, His will: From Love I could not hide
Blessed
lowly me with family-friends---In Him I Salvation-sacred confide
So?
Allow humble I to answer well the Deity call, I should
Love
Trinity Father, Son and Holy Ghost the most, I could
Friends!
Family! Freedom! Coast to coast; west to west, I would
Your
poor excuse and mine, lame, too, He has heard them all
Bathe
in the holy Light of Grace by choice, deny any evil fall
Eve
refused answer His call, her mouth with apple full
Adam
quickly declined “I cannot my marriage annul”
The
mark of Kane refused, he was an only child
Desert-Baptist
John eating locusts on honey-wild
Moses
busy on the mountain top with Commandments stark
Noah
ciphering the “cubit”-count? Scrambling to build an ark
Nero
fiddled away harsh flames while posh Rome “idol”-burned
Delilah
coiffured Sampson’s curly-locks to leave him evil spurned
And,
I rode unicorns with Jesus to partake full life’s enjoy
Proud
witness to His ways, Jesus is a good ole "Country Boy"
Amen!
