Taking faithful steps
Embracing His ways
Walking with Father

Leaving sinful flesh
Departing from night

Viewing empty tomb
Trusting risen Christ
Redemption’s fruits fully bloom

Soothing chocolate
Smothered with sweet marshmallows—
Another heart warmed
Freshly baked cookies
Smelling every sweet morsel—
Cannot eat just one
Coffee cup’s corner
Another fresh brew to taste—
Now, which one to choose?

Facing life’s harshest trials
Walking uphill in shadows
Keeping on the proper trail
Coveting greener meadows
Suffering darkest ordeals
Praying for divine advice
Listening for God’s response
Willing to pay any price
Hiding off the path, waiting
Offering cunning, false hope
Sliding into Satan’s net
Reaching up for rescue’s rope
Clutching God’s forgiving hand
Leaving the enemy’s grip
Finding new life with the Lord
Walking in His fellowship
From Romans 6:22-23: “But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
