As I ride the World’s Roller Coaster,
Each day offers different emotions.
One day I am “King of the Hill”,
The next I find myself at the “Bottom of the Barrel”,
Often I feel like I am “The Man in the Middle”.
But when each day’s ride is over,
I make time to talk with my Father,
And His words bring me comfort.
I find my true identity
In the truth of His words.
I am a Child of the King,
But His Kingdom is not of this world.

Why don’t they listen?
Why can’t they see?
Time and time again I tell them,
Why don’t they believe me?
I tell them the truth,
Things for their own good.
Yet, they ignore what I say
Or treat it as a falsehood.
I love them so much,
It really hurts me to see,
Them reject the wisdom of my way,
And receive a life of misery.

With my Bible in my hand,
Off to church I go,
With expectation in my heart,
Of what I may come to know.
A Book so full of mysteries,
And knowledge to be found,
Is not something that I want,
To just leave sitting around.
So I walk ever so swiftly,
Across the frozen ground,
Eager to reach my destination,
And the treasures that abound.
For when the Book is opened,
It often speaks to me,
And inspires me with wisdom,
That solves the mystery,
Of life now and forever,
And a Hope that is to come.
What a great adventure !
And it’s not just for some,
But for all who seek and desire,
The truth to be known.
Come with me on this journey,
And treasures you too will be shown.
