Remember His Words

“And they remembered His words.” Luke 24:8

 

Forgotten had been His clear prophecy

Concerning His death’s necessity

And resurrection that surely would be.

Still He rose from the grave triumphantly,

And they remembered His words.  

 

It was an “Oh, yeah…that’s right” moment that morn,

As joy changed faces that had been so forlorn.

The King’s rightful crown never could be a thorn!

Since they’d forgotten, they’d lost hope when they mourned,

And they remembered His words.  

 

And this is the motto I long to strive for:

Honor my God with verse 8 of Luke 24.

Make it the recourse my thoughts turn to more

Than anything else; not after, before.

And they remembered His words.  

 

When my heart feels all jumbled, struggling to stand,

Help me lean on, each time, words from Your hand.

Spoken by He Who eternity spanned,

By them faith’s flickering flame is fanned.

And they remembered His words.  

 

Love them, my soul; these gems tuck inside.

He is your refuge; hide and abide.

One day He’ll call you to live at His side;

As women of old, you’ll forget tears you cried.  

And they remembered His words.
