There's No Other Way(2)

There’s secret depths; within God’s Word

The wisest man can’t find

Without The Christ, it’s quite absurd

Without His Light, we’re blind

 

Even when told, man won’t believe

The Truth God’s written down

For Satan’s job is to deceive!

To cheat and rob life’s crown

 

Did man believe the prophet’s pen?

Did man believe he’d stray?

So who’ll believe God’s servant when-

They speak The Truth today?

 

The Word is truly God’s decree

His secrets in a book!

Through Christ revealed, that man may see

If only he would look

 

Through Jesus Christ we see life dawn

We see The Truth first hand

Through God’s own blood is man reborn

Through grace we understand

 

Through water! This cannot be done

Nor man, with all his might

But through the blood of Christ God’s Son

His Liquid Streams of Light

 

Did John baptise in Holy Flame?     Mt.3:11

Was water not his mark?

So man went in and out the same

Still sinning in the dark

 

God’s Holy Ghost; we  truly need

His Flame inside to rage

Receive God’s “Truth” salvation’s Seed

Before we turn life’s page.....

There’s secret depths; within God’s Word

The wisest man can’t find

Without The Christ, it’s quite absurd

Without His Light, we’re blind

 

Even when told, man won’t believe

The Truth God’s written down

For Satan’s job is to deceive!

To cheat and rob life’s crown

 

Did man believe the prophet’s pen?

Did man believe he’d stray?

So who’ll believe God’s servant when-

They speak The Truth today?

 

The Word is truly God’s decree

His secrets in a book!

Through Christ revealed, that man may see

If only he would look

 

Through Jesus Christ we see life dawn

We see The Truth first hand

Through God’s own blood is man reborn

Through grace we understand

 

Through water! This cannot be done

Nor man, with all his might

But through the blood of Christ God’s Son

His Liquid Streams of Light

 

Did John baptise in Holy Flame?     Mt.3:11

Was water not his mark?

So man went in and out the same

Still sinning in the dark

 

God’s Holy Ghost; we  truly need

His Flame inside to rage

Receive God’s “Truth” salvation’s Seed

Before we turn life’s page.....

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.
