Age Is Not A Factor

My grandfather was an Assembly of God preacher. Several weeks before he died in 1981the Spirit spoke to him this poem, and he pulled over on the side of the road and wrote it on an envelope. It's always moved me.

Age is not a factor
to work for my dear Lord
for he gives me love and patience
and strengthens me with His sword.

I must go and tell others
of the love He put in my heart
you see if I don't tell them
His love from me will depart

Now if you don't understand me,
and life is just pain and woe
commit your life to Jesus;
then He will put love in your soul

Problems at times seem impossible
but they teach us how to pray and grow.
So if you have an impossible problem,
just read His Word and you will know.

Just now I talked to Jesus
and I feel so good inside,
because again He just told me
within me forever He will abide.

Life sometimes does get wary,
and miracles seem not too near;
Again put your trust in Jesus
and His love will cast out all fear.

Then love will again be within you,
and miracles will begin.
See Jesus never forsakes
as you put your trust in Him.

Now as you pray to Jesus
and truly never doubt His word
for in there you'll find peace and joy
and can be sure that you are heard.

Now lean upon my Jesus
and give Him every care;
surely He will go with you
if you ask Him to meet you there.

So open your heart to Jesus
and let Him take control;
He will prosper, bless and give you
joy and peace within your soul.

Now that you have come to know Him
in a very special way
Jesus will love others through you
and use you day after day.

Now Jesus I want to thank you
for letting me write this poem;
I just pray that all who read it
prepare to make heaven their home.
