Rog's Rhymes~~~Let Him Chart Our Course












Delight yourself also in the

LORD, and He shall give you

Let Him Chart Our Course

All my well used toys, long packed away, are worn and badly faded
My outlook on life is not so optimistic and maybe even slightly jaded
Many of my friends have drifted away, don't come around much anymore
I think it may be time to steer this old, rundown boat to that distant shore

When did I become so unenthusiastic about this life I live these days
And how could I have lost that joy of life so instilled in all my ways
Maybe there has been too many good-byes' and my spirit has sprung a leak
It may well be time to raise anchor and pull for that distant shore I seek

Yet on this bright day, as I walk my morning path, playing children I see,
their joyful shouts and many little pleasures in life remind of what was me
Oh that we could only embrace sweet life as little children in their joyful play,
make Jesus our captain, let him chart our course and guide our way

(c) Roger Eugene Corell,
August 27, 2006


I woke up this morning feeling rather down as I do many day lately.  I walked outside early this Sunday morning to observe my two neighbor children running with their dogs.  What Joy!  Such a simple little thing but these two kids were have the time of their lives.  I have lost much as many my age have but have also been given much.  I want to put everything in God's hands and give him the command of my ship.  May we all make Jesus the captain of our ship.  Rog










Delight yourself also in the

LORD, and He shall give you

the desires of your heart.
