Places on the Way - The Seashore

A Mediterranean Seashore by Paul Collings


St Nicholas Methodist Church, Topsham 020820


Genesis 22:17 Indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies.


Mark 2:17 And He went out again by the seashore; and all the people were coming to Him, and He was teaching them.


To saunter ‘long a sandy shore

And listen to the waves that roar

Refreshes heart and mind and soul

That I again might, Lord, extol

Your wonderful creative power

And feel the blessings that you shower.


And as I walk across the sand

I marvel that with me you stand;

There calling  me to feed your sheep

To nurture lambs, with love so deep,

And in that ministry of grace

There see your ever present face.


Uncountable though are the sands

Each speck of grit finds in your hands

An all embracing love that binds

Each heart to you and therein finds.

The value of  each living soul

And how you will to make us whole.


“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” 

Mother Teresa
