ALABASTER JAR

Giving praise to our creator - for those who believe.

  

                                ALABASTER JAR

Your tired body ~ is worn from spreading God's name ...

' Cum lay ye down upon this bed ~ rest ye thy weary head.

Let me anoint Thee dear Lord, with oil from my alabaster jar'.

Here I shall tell Thee how important thou art.

The Father has poured His grace upon you ~

           making His promise true.

There will be troubled times ahead ~ men will mock you,

      spit on you, leave you for dead.

You have spread the word, told of the Father's wondrous

                     work on earth

bringing good tidings, peace, goodwill to all from birth.

In my alabaster jar I have cried ~ for men who have lied

                           yet for them You have died.

Pour forth from this jar the oil of peace on the troubled 

                            waters of the world,

wash away our sins: make us clean enough to enter into

                   your kingdom as we come to rest.

Author's Note

Sometimes we have to take stock, reflect and decide where we are headed! Not entirely religious but there are questions that need to be asked.

I always admire those who have a strong faith. You are right about taking stock. That is always a good thing to do. Instead of steam rollering ahead without thought, to reflect on the path we are on and ask ourselves a few questions. Kitty your poem is beautiful. Hope all is good with you.

Thank you Christine. Just up from two wonderful hours in the garden, tidying things up before the rain comes down. Because of the rush I am afraid I was not inspired to write, this time round. Thank you for a lovely review. Hoping the week end proves enjoyable, my friend!
