Tales From Two Texas Paw Paw

Hi folks, this is 2 Texas PawPaw and the reason for this blog is I like to tell stories and try to write a little poetry now and then. Most of my writings is about my family because I have the greatest family in the world, I realize if you dont know my family, it might be a little boring to you but maybe my family will get a kick out of some of it anyway, Hope you like it and if you dont, well, thats ok too, you're still my friend.

"SWEET JESUS, TAKE ME FARTHER"

Hi folks, this is Two Texas PawPaw. A couple of months ago, the following words hit me one night while I was relaxing in my Smoke Room. After I jotted down the words, I looked at it and it reminded me more of a song than a poem, so I'm going to pass it on to you and maybe some of you talented music buffs out there can put some music to it. Who knows, we might get rich. It's called "Sweet Jesus, Taje Me Farther", and it goes like this:-----AFTER I'VE GONE JUST AS FAR AS I CAN, SWEET JESUS TAKE ME FARTHER---BE SURE MY LIFE IS FREE FROM SIN--LEAD ME DOWN YOUR PATH AGAIN--YOUR LOVE MAKE ME WORTHY OF--GUIDE MY LIFE FROM UP ABOVE--AND WHEN I'M ASK TO DO YOUR WORK, HELP ME TO TRY HARDER--AFTER I'VE GONE JUST AS FAR AS I CAN, SWEET JESUS, TAKE ME FARTHER---MAKE ME ACCOUNTABLE ONLY TO YOU--HELP ME TO DO WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO--SHOW ME IT'S YOU I CAN COUNT ON--MAKE MY BELIEF A PILLAR OF STONE--AND IN THE DAYS THAT I HAVE LEFT, I'LL FOLLOW YOU FOREVER--AFTER I'VE GONE JUST AS FAR AS I CAN, SWEET JESUS, TAKE ME FARTHER---THIS PROMISE I WILL MAKE TO YOU--MY FAITHFULNESS WILL ALWAYS BE TRUE--I'LL ENTER YOUR KINGDOM NO MATTER THE COST--BECAUSE OF YOUR DYING ON THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS-- WHEN THOSE GATES ARE OPENED WIDE, AND YOUR PEOPLE YOU START TO GATHER--AFTER I'VE GONE JUST AS FAR AS I CAN, SWEET JESUS, TAKE ME FARTHER:-----This is Two Texas PawPaw, signing off, and, the good Lord willing and the creeks don't rise, I'll be back tomorrow.
