These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Moments We Take in

Moments when we take it in,
weariness for kith and kin,
forgiven of the root of sin,
The Lord Alone can save.

Moments make up every day
when we pray, eat, work, and play,
'til the Trumpet Call, "Away!"
May then death He waive.

Moments are not all we seek.
Life with others, mild and meek,
good words, that we oft do speak
as we wait for Home.

Moments of our daily rest
in The Lord we're kept and blest,
living through each "down here" test,
'til His Time be come.
