Because I Love You

Because I Love You

“Come out from there heed my command

Obey; then I will heal your land

Waters will part I’ll turn the tide

If you accept to be my bride

 

I am the Lord, righteous and just

You need my help I want your trust

I’ll take your shame I’ll take your doubt

I’ll give you faith, and kit you out

 

Come out, from all that filth you’re in

Give up your life, of wayward sin

Cast out, the devil’s tempting thought

Believe in me and my report

 

A time will come, when on your own

With heavy heart your soul will groan

Yet look to me your God above

I’ll not be slow to send my love

 

My Holy Ghost, to you I’ll give

He’ll guide and show you, how to live

He’ll speak of me He’ll take your fears

And comfort you, throughout your years

 

My gentle Spirit’s full of love

He’ll come to you, just like a dove

Repent from sin walk in The Light

Drink of The Truth receive true sight

 

Make Christ your Lord, for Christ is true

Be holy, for I’m holy too

My secret things, will Christ disclose

To you my child, my fragrant rose

 

Priceless things, I long to give

When you decide with Christ to live

Not one good thing will I withhold

From you who’ll walk my streets of gold”.....

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.
