My Hero

Here is another poem from my book - an equal favourite along with My Shelter. It's self-explanatory, I hope it will touch others. My son and many of the primary school children I taught have a copy of this particular poem, citing it a favourite. One girl bought a bookmark with the poem printed on it for her aunt to help her make a decision to become a christian. Touching.

At right is what my book looks like. The cover design was done by an artist friend, Julie, and I thnk she did an amazing job. If any of you out there are interested in acquiring a copy of my book for yourself (or as a gift to someone else) just drop me a line and I will see about getting a copy to you.

My Hero

My hero doesn't wear a cape

And o'er tall buildings soar

He doesn't use his x-ray vision

To see beneath the floor

But he does wear a flowing robe

And sits upon His throne

He sees within this heart of mine

And examines how I've grown

My hero doesn't fight his foes

With brutal muscles powering

He doesn't slay the monstrous dragon

Outside the dungeon cowering

But he does help me overcome

All adversity in my life

With the strength and power of His love

Especially when doubt is rife

My hero is the Son of God

Who died upon a cross

For me He shed his precious blood

My gain, at such a cost

I doubt that I could give my life

For another human soul

But that was God's intention

Hs ulitmate redeeming goal

So let us look with grateful eyes

Upon the cross today

And give our lives to Jesus Christ

And trust Him to lead the way
