The Lynchpin



The Lynchpin
By George Thurlow

November 16, 2015

Let Jesus be your lynchpin
To make you safe, secure:
To hold your world together
When all about is not too sure.

Christ will keep you steadfast
And stabilize your life:
 Keep your feet from sliding
So your steps will be aright.

Christ will keep you solid;
He will be to you like glue,
And hold your life together
To firmly establish you.

In this world of great perplexity,
In these last and fleeting hours,
Stay locked and linked to Jesus Christ,
And strengthened by His power.

Let Jesus be your lynchpin;
Stay fastened to the rock.
Be steadfast and unmovable,
Unwavering in your walk.

Poem inspired by Pastor Merle L. Mitchell's sermon "The Lynch Pin" delivered
in the morning service November 15, 2015 at Faith Lighthouse Church, Old Orchard Beach, Maine.
