Heaven help me...
By: John Turner

To become a fisher of Men.  That's it!  My prayer to the end.
Unto the hosts of any and all.  That is my Credo.  It is my call.
To bring to harvest - Fruits of love.
To offer praise to God above.
To lift the name of Jesus higher.
To this alone do I aspire.
 
When all looks bleak and dreary, my countenance is cheery.
When people give up hope, I'm there to toss a rope.
When even sun don't shine, still victory is mine.
 
For all who seek to find the truth, I'm there to offer living proof.
For those who need encouragement, I must make sure my times well spent
For near at hand's the judgment call, I wish that I could save them all!
 
To you dear Lord, that glory goes, the pit awaits your beaten foes.
When trumpets make their final blast, and all your work to end at last.
For it's that day I wait upon, but till it comes.  I must preach on!

Cross Country
By: John Turner

All runners time to take your marks, get ready, set and go.
Don't let the devil trip you up, who travels to and fro'.
Like a runner bursting from the blocks under a starter's gun,
God gives me strength to finish out this race that I now run.
The batons I must pass along the way to each of my fellow man,
Are the words of God, good deeds, and faith, in accordance to his plan.
This marathon does not award it's prizes to the swift,
Nor is it won by merit. No, It's only by God's gift.
And tho' I lag behind some times and even lose my pace,
I have assurance from on high - I will complete this race.
Because I do not run alone - I joined a winning team.
I'm picked back up and dusted back off at stumbling bocks and beams,
Which I am quick to remove, (might I just add), from first my own lame eye,
Before I should coach or judge another - It's this that I must try.
And I'll make it to the finish line and take that victory lap,
Cause' my inner strength is Jesus Christ - The power that I tap!
