Yet [*/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Great Blessing---My Pocket New Testament, 2

Like Jacob, who worshipped while leaning on his staff,

I worship while leaning on my pocket New Testament;

and Christ's blessings refresh me, like cool water in a carafe,

cool water drawn from a deep well in the midst of an oasis

that surrounds and sustains and protects me---His many Graces

that neither sin nor temptation can nullify nor stunt.

Christ's love transcends all measures of times and spaces.

I sought the old path, where is the good way, and there trod,

led therein by the Love of My Lord, Who is Love Who is God.
