Preface

Take a Message, Lord

The gate is bolted, Lord,
    And we cannot scale the wall.
Against a stony barricade
    Our words in silence fall.

But You are never barred
    By the fortress round the soul;
Within the guarded palisade
    Your Words like waters roll.

In vain the heart is locked,
    And for naught the sentries keep;
Within the strongest citadel
    Your tender pleadings sweep.

Your Spirit flows unchecked
    To the hearts that hide away
And whispers softly in their ear
    The words we cannot say.

So take a message, Lord,
To the ones we cannot reach
And flood Your love within the walls
That only You can breach.
