“IT MATTERS NOT!”
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 4}
It matters not
where we may be,
If we’re ‘IN CHRIST’
we’ve been ‘set free’!
Not ‘free’ to SIN *
nor to live in shame,
But, to ‘Glorify’
& ‘Praise’ His Name.
‘Mountains’ high or
‘valley’s low,
If ‘CHRIST’ is there
I’m WILLING to go!
To ‘Follow Him’
what e’re betide,
For I know in my heart
I’ll be ‘SATISFIED’!
He’ll fill me ‘full’
with The ‘Bread of Life’, *
And I can ‘drink’
from The ‘River of Life’! *
To never ‘thirst’ *
nor ‘hunger’ again, *
As JESUS has filled me
& ‘freed’ me of sin.
Who cares if in this life we suffer
it helps us to OBEY our Lord, *
Read well the Bible & study it *
& ‘absorb’ its Holy Words.
You’ll find that: JESUS
suffered so much more than we, *
Especially when ~
He got the ‘Victory’!
‘Total submission’
to His Father above,
Whate’re the ‘cost’,
He was ‘WILLING’ to Love!
For LOVE will ‘give’ *
it’s ‘life’ away;
For BOTH ‘friend’ & ‘foe’ *
JESUS ‘died’ that day!
So, ‘be willing’, my friend
to give your life, *
That ‘others’ might know:
CHRIST gave His Life ~
For ALL! *

It doesn't matter WHERE we are (even in the cold State of Alaska), if GOD is there with us, then we can be SATISFIED! Patsy
