On a bright Sunday morning in October
I was asked to photograph the pastor
for the church newsletter, posing him by
a painting hung on a wall of alabaster.
"Would you stand beside Jesus", I said,
as I aimed my camera and took the shot,
"That's a question we all need to hear"
he said, as the image there I caught.
The pastor's smile was full of hope
and the faith that makes one strong;
he always makes us feel really welcome
and we'd raise our voices in song.
It's a blessing that gives me the faith
to carry on through a troubled time,
as I heard the trials that He endured
which were much more severe than mine.
I leave the church, once more secure,
knowing that I have been forgiven
for unkind thoughts and careless deeds
that were keeping me from Heaven.
I will stand beside Jesus...
just as the pastor did today,
for He has lifted me up again
and shown me light for the way.
