"Tribulations"


“Tribulations”

cji
4/24/16

Calling all ye fair weather’s
cruising in calm seas
lurking ever under vision
heading for far away quick
whenever tribulations come
calling oneself Christian
yet obeying which laws
found wavering to peers
fair weather sailors to be
unable to stand to trouble
unable to set the example
calling upon each of us
this Sabbath Day come
face the boils as did Job
face the impediments
as did Moses and others
seek the refiners fire
setting the example quiet
not in the streets found
but inside yourselves
each of us to look within
can we batten hatches
withstanding the storm
setting the sea anchor
wearing our safety belts
(the armor of our God)
cruising the seven seas
feeling the buffetings
each day of the week
but most on the Sabbath
in worldly violation!
