The Invitation... a poem for Christmas 2015
THE INVITATION
By Frances
Judge
Come follow me
to the river of life,
Where I wash
away sorrow and pain.
The paths might
be winding, the mountains too steep,
But I’ll carry
you through rough terrain.
Child don’t
fear the swells of the ocean,
Or the trials
that burden your soul.
My arms are
outstretched and willing to save you
From winds that
you cannot control.
Come follow me
as shepherds and wise men
Who followed
without hesitation.
They gazed at
the star in wonder and awe
At the divine invitation.
Come as you are
to the table of grace
Where
forgiveness and joy are provided.
Before heaven’s
time, the plan was in place
To redeem the
lost souls and misguided.
Come follow me to
the whispering sea;
Hear my
thoughts that outnumber the sand.
Believe me,
your Savior, the gift of the heart,
Delivered by
God’s Holy hands.
“Today in the town of David a Savior
has been born to you;
He is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:11
