Prop Me Up On My Leaning Side

 

 

Prop Me Up On My Leaning Side

 

 

 

A story I read today

Made me think long and hard

A story about an old barn

Standing in an farmer’s yard

 

This barn seemed to lean

It had a weaker side

Just like us today

Things not done with pride

 

We tend to lean towards deception

Like that old barn leans with age

Lies roll off the tongue to easily

Sending others into a rage

 

One lie leads to another

So I’ve been told

We turn molehills into mountains

And we deceive so very bold

 

Leaning in all directions

Even more than that old structure

Towards hate and anger

Destroying our infrastructure

 

We need to bear up our weaker side

That exists in us all today

And do what the farmer did

Paint Jesus within our hearts and pray

 

Lord prop me up on my leaning side

Give me the strength to stand tall

Lead me with Your guiding hand

Prop up my leaning wall

Standing ovation!!!
How wonderful to use the barn as a metaphor for needing strength
to stand through the storms, and to be of use.
