To be in Love Like You

To Be in Love Like You

“There is no God up in the air

Nor devil, down in hell

There is no life in Christ’s to share

Such foolishness you tell

 

You say God’s love flows like a stream

That Jesus is His Son

That all who come, will Christ redeem

No matter what we’ve done

 

 Such rot; my friend, I can’t believe

No God for me; would die

With such a tale you can’t deceive

It’s all a bear faced lie

 

Where can I find this Lord of yours?

With holes; in hands and feet

The one from whom  true love outpours

This man! I’d love to meet

 

True love myself; I’ve never had

What life could be for me?

How can you say, although I’m bad

He’s come to give it free!

 

I’d like to see and shake His hand

I’ll meet Him anywhere!

Perhaps He’ll help me understand

Why no-one seems to care

 

I need; some love, I’m all alone

I yearn for love that’s deep

Most every night still on my own

I cry myself to sleep

 

It sounds so good, the things you say

If only half! Is true

I’d give my heart to Christ today

To be in love like you......

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.
