You intervean in the movement of time

You intervene in the movement of time, 

I can see your presence loud and clear, 

So what if my eyes can't see you, 

Your presence to me is dear. 

World may fail to recognize you,

World may fail to see, 

I wish, I may never deny thee, 

May you be a friend to me. 

I pray thee, my Father, 

I pray thee, my Lord, 

I pray thee, my Saviour, 

I pray thee, my all in all. 

Look at me as a sinner, 

Look at me as a malefactor, 

Promise me thy salvation, 

As you promised on the cross. 

A poem by R. A. Jacob. 

Old friend I come to thee

Old friend I come to thee,

Old friend I come to thee,

When all my friends forsake me,

My lord I come to thee.

Friendship, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Friendship

Let me change the definition of friendship,

True friendship on this earth is not found,

It is a heavenly blessing,

In heaven, it's perfection abounds.

Friend, a poem by Reginold Ajay Jacob, India

Friend

Friend of the marginalized,

Succour to the living,

Thank you to bring me back,

Thank you to save my neck.

I forgot thee,

I forgot to commune,

Yet whenever I turn back,

You just never refuse.

Your nature is to forgive,

My nature is to forget,

Yet whenever I need thee,

I’m never short of help.

You are the rock of my strength,

My Lord I cannot deny,

I am confronted with this reality,

Whenever circumstances do try.

Knocking, at the door of my saviour,

Knocking, that he may forgive,

Knocking, for that communion,

Knocking, that I may live.

He will be by your side

My friend lived 2000 year ago,
His comforter is by my side,
Nor do I look for human support,
Nor do I ever find.

Why trust the frail humans
Each and every time,
Climb my love, the stairs of faith,
Climb the stairs of life.

At the end of the journey,
You'll find yourself alone,
That's the journey called life,
Fear not my soul, fear not, He will be by your side.

Note- Christ has gone to prepare a home for us. He will never forsake us.

R. A. Jacob

Hold His hand

When you lack,a genuine friend,
Do not be dismayed,
You are one of the millions,
You are just like me today.

Yet there is a difference,
I am never alone,
I follow, the nail, pierced hands
Who my frustrations understands.

His friendship requires no prerequisites,
His love, is unconditional you know,
He will never fail you,
In His presence you will always glow.

Stop looking for human help,
It is cursed as I find,
You will land up in trouble,
If you follow the blind.

Cursed is the man,
Who trusteth in man,
I tell you it is a crime,
Leave your troubles to Christ.

He will step in by your side,
No better friend can you ever find,
Open your heart to the lord,
He will wash you and give you life.
