REFLECTIONS ON A SUNSET
As the firey sun is setting, and the clouds blaze with fire,
As the waters on the shore ebb and flow,
Time comes for reflection, on what could have been, As you linger on the beach of life’s lonely shore.
Thoughts and memories of time gone by,Flit through your mind, like sands of time,As you watch the waves pound on the rocks….It seems as though the clock has stopped!
“Time”… you say, “has come and gone, What have I done? Where have I gone?
Has my life been one giant blot? What am I leaving? What have I got?”
You hear the sound of the waters deep, It’s calling you to come out of your sleep, To seek your destiny in The Lord, The One who formed you,
The One True God.
He formed you and made you way before time, He brought you through the sands of time, To the point where you’ve said, “is life worth living?’ Have I anything left? I’m sick of striving, All of my time and my talent and worth, To a causeless cause, and worthless worth, There surely has to be more to life, I don’t want any more heartache, and no more strife.”
You hear the sound beyond the shore, The call of one, who calls you forth,
The Son of Man, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the One True God,Who shed His blood and died for you, He is the Way of Life for you.
He rose again, He paid the price, that you may have eternal life.
But how will I know? How can it be real? This love so rich so rare I feel,
Nothing I have felt like this before, before I came to this water’s shore,
I can feel my hope begin to soar, as I give my heart on that lonely shore,
My search for life and Truth is past, as I say, “I believe, I give you my heart.”
My life in Him is now waiting for me,
As God has come to set me free, from the striving and pain and the causeless cause, He came to bring me life, hope, and worth.
The clock has begun to tick again, as I walk with Jesus my new friend.
So if you’re waiting upon the shore, Looking for answers, searching for more, Ask Jesus in to your heart right now, He is the answer, He’ll show you how To live and not die, to be all that you can,
Remember my friend; this is God’s plan, That was written before you stepped on the shore, When you started to seek, and said, “There has to be more!” Enjoy your new life, it’s just begun, Enjoy your reflection on the setting sun.
The shore of life is not lonely now, it’s full of love and life and Power, as you seek to live in the Kingdom of God, You’ll find hope and rest in The One you love.
You’ll never return to that lonely shore, He came to give you New Life and More,Enjoy your life; fill it to the brim, With Jesus your one and only True friend..
John 3;16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life
