Jesus went to the stable for me
born in a human likeness was He
a babe in a manger He was to be
just as the Father told Him
There He lay with the cattle and sheep
placed on a bed of straw to sleep
every word in His heart to keep
just as the Father told Him
Jesus went to the desert for me
taunted and tempted by Satan was He
but Jesus answered words of victory
just as the Father told Him
‘You shall have everything you see’
Satan said ‘If you worship me’
‘To God alone will I bow’ said he
just as the Father told Him
Jesus went to the mountain for me
Spoke with Elijah and Moses did He
there He was given all authority
just as the Father told Him
‘We’ll build booths for these two’ they said
‘see they have come back from the dead’
‘My Son alone will you hear instead’
was just what the Father told them
Jesus came in the Spirit for me
Comforter, counsellor, healer is He
and from the curse I have been set free
just as the Father tells me
Now my heart and my mind are stirred
I must act on what I have heard
and I shall live by God’s every word
just as the Father tells me

Hi Martha Jane, if we endeavour to act upon every Word spoken to us by our loving Saviour, then we will have a life of peace and joy. Thank you for your kind comment. God bless you in the Lord.
Hi Victor, and God bless you in Jesus, our peace.
Hi Brenda, Wonderful Scripture-based poem about the Savior always doing the Father's will. May we follow His example and do the same, trusting Him in all things. May God bless you and your beautiful poetry.
Hi Laurie, thank you for your very kind comment. Yes, may we always follow His example and trust in Him for all things. I can not imagine not being in the Lord and learning His ways. I would be in a very sad place without Him. God bless.

What a beautiful and reflective poem! You’ve captured the essence of Jesus' journey through the world, following His Father's will, in such a powerful way. Each moment you highlight—His humble birth, His trials in the desert, His
Hi Melody, for some reason your comment did not come up on my blog, so I copied it from the comment section and have posted it.
Thank you Melody for your very kind comment. I have been having problems with the comments not coming up on my blog. I shall have to get some help to fix it.
Hi Brenda, It is difficult enough to live in this wicked world even as a child of God. My heart goes out to all those who do not know Him -- I don't know how they can cope -- and I pray that they trust Him before it is too late. God bless you too, Laurie
Praise God that His Spirit is our Comforter, Counselor and Healer! May we hear and follow Him!
