ONCE Shaken by the little  things,

the searching, stumbling, wanderings,

seeding angry words, bitterness inside, 

willfully deceived, unhappy in and outside, 

when Jesus Christ issued the personal invitation,

to believe and receive His hope and stability

a soul changing situation, heart mending,

truth giving, and His words waters to the heart, 

filling the once the broken vessel with abiding comfort.
