These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

When the Lord Walked Here

When the Lord in flesh and blood,
He walked this dusty sod,
the early church was in the bud
attended by One God.

How many are the twists and turns
we've taken, since those days!
For One God do we daily yearn
or for popular displays?

Please help us meditate on truth
You gave us at the first.
Restore our hearts each day to youth,
our spirits for You thirst.

Remind us of the ones, who served
in want or plenty, all.
For none of us have e'er deserved
Your matchless Gospel Call.
