The Basket
On the picnic table sits a basket
It was placed there for you and me
Its contents are to be eaten, digested
Fulfilling our spiritual needs as decreed
Inside the basket there are answers
For any problem, you will ever face
With the knowledge you find inside
Every dire situation can be erased
There is milk for the new converts
As they begin to study God’s Word
There is meat for the steadfast
When digested their spirit it stirs
For the thirsty, there is Living Water
Take one sip and you’ll long for more
Jesus died so that you can drink
It flows from Heaven like never before
The Bread Of Life you can partake of
In remembrance of what Jesus did
He will satisfy all of your longings
As nothing from you will ever be hid
For dessert, the Fruit Of The Spirit
Each one created to satisfy your needs
They are there to minister to you
Just as the Heavenly Father has decreed
Faithfulness, Patience, Joy, Generosity
Gentleness, Kindness, Peace, Self Control
Each one of these is very special
As they deal with your spirit and soul
There is one special fruit that is left
It is the most important of them all
This fruit is the epitome of The Father
His love will always outshine them all
All of this nourishment is in there
For in the basket there is a holy book
When opened your picnic will begin
All you have to do is take a hungry look
Take each page and slowly devour it
Let its power invigorate your soul
The Holy Bible is all you’ll ever need
To make your spirit healthy and whole
Everyone needs to go on a picnic
From that basket eat a hearty meal
Let the power of the Holy Spirit
Overcome you and be spiritually healed
