Billy The Kid! Billy The Man! Poem by Denis Martindale

Billy the kid, that's all he was... a child and not much more,
Yet God led Billy to the Cross... to show what life was for...
So Easter came and Easter went... and Billy soon grew tall,
Yet few believed him Heaven-sent... just like a miracle...
The day he learnt the King of Love had died to save his soul,
He humbly prayed to God above and asked, 'Lord, take control...
I'm now a man, have You a plan? A plan to use me here?
If so, I'll do the best I can... just simply make things clear...'

That was, of course, the turning point... his day when born again,
The time that God chose to anoint this man among all men...
Such that, from small beginnings grew, a team that chose to serve,
As if they were God's chosen few... to seek lost souls on Earth...
Stronger together, every day! In partnership for Christ,
With God's forgiveness to relay what Jesus sacrificed...
The Bible says! The Bible says! That's what lost souls were told,
That God is near to hear our prayers, no matter, young or old...

So don't dismiss each kid you meet who won't amount to much,
When God forgives, He makes complete, then grants that guiding touch...
God has a plan for every man, if humble he would be,
Who strives to do the best he can, like Christ on Calvary!
