The Marker
A Bookmark is a handy thing,
It shows us where we’re at.
We turn to it and see our place,
“Yes! I remember that!”
Yet bookmarks only hold your place,
And move along with thee.
Far better is He Who took your place,
On the Cross at Calvary!
As someone turns to seek Him,
He shows them where they’re at.
And as the Spirit nudges they say,
“Oh Lord … I repent of that.”
The True Marker is the Lord!
Who holds your place… in life.
He holds it before the Father,
Within the Book of Life.
He holds your place in Heaven,
The Mansions you will see.
He went to prepare a place for you,
That where He is you’ll be.
Oh would that you might seek Him.
He stands at the door and knocks.
But warn all those who would choose Him not –
A place not held is lost!
