I came upon a worn country church <br />Why, it was just the other day <br />I could picture folks a hundred years ago <br />How they bowed their heads and prayed <br /> <br />A little ‘ole church in the country <br />A place to worship on Sunday <br />That day was set aside for Him <br />Not thinking what happens on Monday <br /> <br />Folks dressed in their tattered but clean <br />Clothes that they set aside as well <br />For it was their time to let God know <br />That truth was important to tell <br /> <br />And they didn’t forget to worship <br />Whenever they felt the need <br />While doing their chores each day <br />Their souls they continued to feed <br /> <br />Maybe we can find the time as well <br />To just stop once in awhile <br />Remember the folks back long ago <br />Life so hard it was difficult to smile <br /> <br />But they found the time for God <br />So often as they did their chores <br />They’d stop, relax and take the time <br />Take a deep breath and say, “Hello Lord! ”<br /><br />Marilyn Lott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hello-lord/
