Crossroad**

Let us absorb your talents, Lord,
the example known in your world,
watching you as you show the way,
seeing you in the hearts of others today.

Help me my neighbor to know and care,
knowing he is a part of me somewhere,
part of all humanity that ever was or will be,
from them we have learned to worship Thee.

For the day to day need of every soul alive,
without your presence scarcely survives,
wondering here and there with eyes blind,
unable to find what they have left behind.

A crossroad comes for every earthly man,
when he must choose the better plan,
to leave the world and all it's worth,
and enter a way of each soul's rebirth.

To the glory God has chosen from the first,
all creation that was eternally cursed,
with a plan established to save the lost,
at a price for which our Redeemer paid the cost.
                    ***
II Corinthians 11:3  "But I am afraid that
just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's
cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray
from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ."
