Walk With The Lord by John Alexander

Walk With The Lord By John Alexander

To walk in simple faith, to be His hands and feet, sounds so easy, yet I often try to make it complicated. It’s so easy to stray off the path and chose my own way. At first, the path seems right, but before long the path becomes obscured and I’m wandering around in the weeds. Whenever I stay in the Word and pray daily, I find it easier to walk with the Lord. I discovered that writing a poem during my morning quiet time helps me maintain the habit of daily time (early morning works best for me) reading the Bible and a short devotional, lifting my prayers to the Lord, and sharing my heart through poetry. It’s a blessing to share a few poems each month with the Faith On Every Corner family. I pray they are a blessing to you.

Poems by John Alexander

Let It Be

I pray for guidance through the year, Discern the truth, to You draw near.

I pray I yield, give You control, Not swayed by some opinion poll.

Lord guard my soul and guide my hand. May truth take root throughout our land.

Lord, keep my feet on solid ground. Your Word is true, Your truth profound.

I pray I’m daily in Your Word, My rhymes reflecting what I’ve heard.

I pray I’m able to impart The love You’ve placed within my heart.

I pray I bring Your love and care To others by the words I share.

I lift You up, Lord let it be That others understand and see

The love that only You can bring. You set us free that we may sing.

Walking In Light

Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean that something’s right. We can still be choosing darkness over walking in the light.

There’s so much more to life than all the stupid things we do. Let’s find in life our passion, then let’s steadily pursue.

That goal with all the vigor we can muster to achieve, That dream that’s truly worthy of the truths that we believe.

Why live a life in shadows where it’s hard to see the sun, When there’s so much need around us and there’s so much to be done?

If we’re reaching out to others and we’re showing love and care, Then our lives are full of blessings and there’s nothing to compare.

The more we give to others and find ways to show our love, The more we know God’s blessings that He showers from above.

I pray we find our passion and what makes us each unique. We each one have a mountain and I pray we reach the peak.

I pray we help each other to achieve each goal and dream. I pray we work together with God’s blessings as a team.

Guide Me

I pray you’ll guide my steps today, You’ll guide my thoughts, and what I say.

I pray you guide me as I walk, The words I say, and how I talk.

Give me the words to share your love, And tune my heart to things above.

I pray you guide the words I write. May they reflect your perfect light.

Your love is pure, your love is true I know the joy of life brand new.

You gave me life, you freed my soul, There’s no more guilt you’ve made me whole.

Your love is strong, your love is pure. What comes my way I can endure.

I thank you Lord I know your love. You guide my steps from up above.

My Walk

You are my Lord; in you I trust. My earthly form will soon be dust.

Help me see my life today Is just a journey on the way,

To everlasting life with you. I pray my walk reflects what’s true.

May words I write help others find A faith renewed, leave doubt behind.

May young and old, the strong, the weak Find in You the love they seek.

When troubles come, I pray your peace Will fill our hearts and never cease.

I pray the world will see your hand Reached out to save, to heal our land.

I pray you help us see what’s real And share the truths your Words reveal.
