The Pilgrim’s Race

By Rev. Dean Beaty 4/26/12

Hebrews 11:13 “These all died in faith, not having received

the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded

of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers

and pilgrims on the earth.” (KJV)

To the unsaved, this world is their home.

It makes no difference wherever they roam.

Here or in England, Ireland or Japan.

Russia, Germany or even Saipan.

But we are aliens here on this earth.

This is true, if you’ve had the New Birth.

Once born again, heaven is our home.

Thus the reason for writing this poem.

Don’t put roots down here in this place.

Roots are an anchor to running life’s race.

Running unhindered should be our goal.

For the love of this world will take its toll.

Lay aside the weights that so easily beset. *

This is God’s warning we should never forget.

Heaven is our home, so run well the race.

Christ is the goal, there to look on His face.

So run like a pilgrim what ever you do.

And unto the calling of Jesus be true.

To hear Christ say, “My son, well done”

Then we will know, life’s race we have won.

* Hebrews 12:1-2 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about

with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and

the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the

race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher

of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,

despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

(KJV)

The Eyes and Ears of God

By Rev. Dean Beaty 4/17/12

Psalm 34:15 “The eyes of the LORD are upon the

righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.” (KJV)

The eyes of the LORD see the righteous,

And His ears are open to their cry.

Don’t fail to bring your needs to God.

On His mercy you can rely.

Our loving Father sees our need

He’s aware of every plight.

Just as He sees each tiny bird

And knows when it falls in flight.*

Since God watches every sparrow,

Just think of His care for me.

Remember God gave His only Son.

To die upon Calvary’s tree.

His ears are open unto our prayer

And He sees us when we fall.

Never a deaf ear is turned our way

For He hears us when we call.

* Matthew 10:29-31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a

farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground

without your Father. But the very hairs of your head

are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more

value than many sparrows.” (KJV)
