He passed this way

By:  Jo Smith. .. .  June 26, 2023

He passed by my door and I saw him no more.

No matter how hard I tried

No matter how much I cried

He continued down that road.

Now my heart carries a heavy load.

How did I miss this most glorious chance?

How can I now advance?

Without Him in my life

I will only find trouble and strife.

Will He pass this way one more time?

Will he yet give me His love Divine?

I will go and seek Him with all my heart.

If I find Him again, I will never let him depart.

Others come and go, this I well know.

The loss of them does not hurt so.

But to lose Him is more than all of them.

To Miss this one glorious chance is death to the soul.

It is as if my everything they stole.

How then shall I be made whole?

My heart cries out, Return to me

My life is no good without thee. 

Where shall I look?  Is He down by the brook?

Did He ascend up on High?

I can’t find him no matter how I try.

Wait!  Wait!  This cannot be my fate!

I hope it is not too late.

Is that His glorious voice?

He will forever be my first choice. 

Yes, Yes!  It is He!  He has heard my cry.

I will to him fly.

Rejoice, Rejoice oh my soul.  This is the wonderful Day.

My blessed Savior has returned back my way.

I will hold him close and never let go.

The more I know Him the more I love him so.

Rejoice with me;  He came by my door one more time.

He is the joy and life of mine.
