VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: JOURNEY: The B-TAB Tack

It Was A Wild West Locomotive!
The Whistle Said:

Brooo! Brooo!

As It Went!

I Had Spent All That I Had
AND
This Journey To The Unknown
Was For Me
No Fad
For I Was Trusting The Lord
For
By Jesus Christ's Faith
I Was For This Great Journey Clad!

The Sign Painted On The Engine Had Said:

Prayer And EFFORT!

The Insignia On The Conductor's Hat Said:

Effort And PRAYER!

I Thought To My Self ...
Strange ... Strange Indeed!
Until I Saw The Train's Engineer
Get Down On His Knees!

He Was Praying!

Okay! Okay!

I Took A Window Seat
AND
As Is My Custom
I Asked The Living God
For
Travelling Mercies, Please!

Suddenly ...

The Call Sallied Forth:

All Abooardd!

ALLLL ABOOARDD!

Soon ... 

We Were On Our Way!

Hmmm ...

I Don't Know What Caused It
BUT
Something ... 

Something ... Was Tickling My Consciousness!

I Looked Ahead!
I Looked Around!
In Front Was Just Backs Of Heads!
To The Side - Nothing Outstanding!
Outside
Pastures Green

AND

Even A Meandering Stream
BUT
As The Train Picked Up Momentum
What I Heard Said
You Will Not Believe!

The Train's Wheels
Were Talking With Speed!

I Tell You True
Those Wheels Spoke Plain!
I Heard It I Tell You!
It Was A Beautiful Refrain:

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

Soon The Train Was Going So Fast
That All I Could Hear Was:

Believe God!

Blessings Will Come!

Coming Into Some Stations
I Would Hear The Rhythm Change:

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Leaving Some Stations
It Said:

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

But ...

I Loved It Best
When We Travelled Through The Country
AND
All The Contacts Were Made
AND
That Journeying Train Would Say ...

Believe God!

Trust His Word!

Act In Faith!

Blessings Will Come!

That Train

Seemed To Have A Message

To Fit

Every Destination

Every Departure Station!

I Had Been A Little Sad

To Leave The Known Behind
BUT
By The Time I Reached My Destination
I Had A Song In My Heart
Laughter In My Mind
AND
Hope In My Eye
For
I Had Been Reminded
That My God
Is Not Pie In The Sky
AND
I Knew
God's Heaven With My Jesus
Soon
Soon
Will Be In My Real View!

I Believe ... GOD!

I Trust God's ... WORD!
I Will ACT aka WALK ... In FAITH
For
I Truly Accept The Truth That
God's BLESSINGS WILL - Upon Me - COME!

What Is Your Conveyance Telling You?!

**--**--**--**

Trust In The Lord With Your All

Because

In That Way

 You Cannot Fall!

Satan Thinks He Controls The Ball

And

Its Residents All

But

Has No Choice But To Act

Inside

God's Omnipotent Call!

HAPPY SABBATH: I Believe God!

I Believe The Word Of God!

I Believe I Will Fly

For My Father Said

We Shall Be As Angels

And Angels Have Wings!

I Believe I Shall No More Cry

For My Father Said That

Sorrow And Death Shall Pass Away!

I Believe That I Shall Be In Eternity Enthralled

For My Father Said That

Eye Hath Not Seen

Nor Ear Heard

The Things He Hath Prepared For Me

Because I Give Him My Love!

I Believe I Shall Live Forever

For My Father Said I Shall Live With  Him Where He Is -

There Is No Terminus In Eternity!

I Believe I Shall Be Immortal

For My Father Says That I Shall Be Like Him

And He Cannot Die!

I Believe God!

My God Is My Father!

My Father God Is Not A Man

That He Should To Me Lie!

I Place My Trust In Him
And ... By Faith

I Shall Gain The Blessed Reward

When He Comes For Me

When He Breaks The Eastern Sky!

My Belief Is Rooted

In The Rock Of Truth!

My Faith Is Planted In Him

By Whose Blood

I Shall Gain Eternal Youth!

My Rock Is Jesus!

He Is The Christ
AND

He Is My Hope
My Help And My Healer

My Author
My Finisher

My Light

My Truth
AND

My Life!

I Believe God!
