There's Work for You!

THERE'S WORK FOR YOU!

“Come dry your eyes and look at me
I wish to speak with you
Some things I have for you to see
And work! For you to do

I heard your cry I’ve seen your need
Your heart is true I know
Hear my child what I’ve decreed
Then in my name you’ll go

Throughout the world, my children die
Just as the devil’s planned
They need no more to live a lie
For all is in my hand

I see their sorrows, and their pain
Their sin their foolish doubt
But through my Son no life’s in vain
If they’d but turn about

For I can’t move, till their return
Until I hear them pray
I’m sending you that they may learn
To walk my righteous way

Now go, my child through every land
Go speak the words I’ve said
If they don’t learn to understand
They’ll fail to count their dead

Their stench is more than I can bear
Their shame is plain in view
The filth they do they just don’t care
All this I’m telling you

Step out my child go forth in haste
I want my wrath to cease
Go tell them there’s no time to waste
I long to give them peace”.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
