Committed Unto Us ALL

The House Behind The Weeds...

Just two little boys walking down a dusty lane.....
They came upon this old white house...
With broken window panes.

The paint was faded, the shine was gone....
The grass had grown so high.....
Still they made their little feet...
To see what was inside.

They opened up the squeaky door.
And then it came to light....
This must have been an old church house...
Once upon a time.

Dirty, dusty wooden pews..
a pulpit that still stood...
A bible laid upon it....
Though the pages weren't too good.

An offering plate and song books too...
Were lying on the floor.
They must have left this old church fast...
The day they closed these doors.

And over in the corner.
a piano was still there..
It must have played a pretty tune...
But I guess nobody cared.

So little Bill looked up at Tommy...
And Tommy looked at Bill...
Why don't we clean this old church up,
And get these old pews filled?"

They took a rag and wiped the dust...
To try and make things shine....
And then they took the offering plate...
And put in it their last dime.

They took a broom and swept the floor...
And picked up broken glass....
They got it all so nice and neat...
And then they mowed the grass.

They lifted up the old church sign...
And stood it by a tree...
Right down by that old dirt road....
Where everyone could see.

They ran back home, to find Daddy gone...
But their Momma was inside.... Just to find her hurt again..
Where Daddy had made her cry.

"Don't cry Momma, wipe those tears,"
Little Bill and Tommy smiled....
"Cause we have a big surprise for you....
Just down the road a mile."

Hand in hand they tugged at her...
Until they made her run....
"What is it Bill, Oh Tommy,
Just what have you two kids done?"

And then they came upon the house...
Once hidden by the weeds...
And there it stood a country church...
Just like it used to be.

"But what is it, Mother? What's with your tears?
We thought this would bring you joy."
"Yes, but hush kids now and listen close...
My two sweet precious boys."

They both got quiet and stood real still....
For the words they heard so true....
Was Daddy praying in the church...
With his head bowed on the pew.

"Forgive me Lord! Forgive me Lord!
Though I'm not worthy of Your love...
Shine down on this sinner man...
Sweet Salvation from above."

"For I've been out in the world, You know....
Living my life all wrong....
Until I came upon this church;
The place where I belong."

"I never noticed it before...
All those times I passed it up....
I guess I wasn't looking, Lord....
Or maybe I was drunk."

"Bless oh Lord, yes, bless oh Lord...
The one who made me see....
This little church that used to hide...
Behind all those tall weeds."

And then he raised his head and stood....
With his hands high in the air....
To find two, dirty, tear-faced boys...
With Momma standing there.

They ran up to him, hugged him tight...
As their tears fell on the floor.
"Don't worry kids, I'm not the Dad,
The one you've known before."

Things are different for us now...
So keep on those pretty smiles...
And let's go gather people in...
To walk down these church aisles."

Then Bill looked up at Tommy...
And Tommy looked at Bill...
"Come on brother, let's get to work....
To get these old pews filled."

"For we need no special blessing...
For cleaning up this church....
Cause, God gave us back our Daddy...
And that's more than gold is worth."

Sunday morning, pews all filled....
And smiles on every face...
Especially two little country boys...
The ones who found this place.

Though it was hid back in the weeds....
And so far out of sight...
Nothing's ever hard to find...
If you're walking toward God's light.

Call upon Him and He will answer thee
and show you great and mighty things that
thou knowest not. Jer. 33:1-26

THE U IN JESUS title 7%.

THE U IN JESUS


Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God stuck U in the name of His Son.

And each time U pray, you'll see it's true,
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.

You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.

And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.

Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?

The stones split away, the gold trumpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.

When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension, He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.

"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."

So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?

It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,
But it all starts with U.

Will YOU pass it on?
