"Acetate Layer On Life "

I look now at the acetate which covers up the chart,
From mark below to indicate how I first did my part,
Down in the world like buffalo with smashed in heads they say,
As they stampeded off the cliff the stone-age hunter’s way.

But second strip now indicates the time where Your light shone
Upon my way, Lord Jesus Christ – now Kingdom-layer I’m on;
From here on in I’ll do my life above the fuss and swirl;
No struggle there, just be myself, give ministry a whirl.

Not “ministry” the standard way – but life and work in You
Who’ve lead me to green pastures with still water’s gentle view;
For from this place of stillness, quiet, peace, within You, Lord,
I’ll find it more conducive to responding to Your word.

Not that I can now do the things I once found hard to do;
It’s more You’ll show me paths and roads to take – to me quite new;
Lord, as we now move on from here, and enter “body-life”,
With You as head, bless us this day, as we push back the night.

Thanks Lord for this.
