There's No Other Way (1)

We’re in the ark, redeemed by grace

Upon The Rock we’ll hide

Yet sin, can steal may bar the place

Reserved for Jesus’ bride

 

Sheltered from life’s infernal blast

Encompassed by The Flame

We can’t remain as in the past

Resuming lives of shame

 

The Word of God is deep and true

It speaks to us each day

But only when we seek to do

What Jesus has to say?

 

Who eat of Christ, in time will feel

Life’s substance flow within

It’s then The Lord becomes more real

Convicting souls of sin

 

God’s Flame burns deep within the heart

His Spirit lifts the veil

His judgement; in the church will start

That none in Christ should fail

 

God’s Holy Ghost will Truth unfold

Reveal God’s will inside

Upon the roof it may be told

If filth we try to hide

 

If from the past we seek to part

If life we’d start anew

We need! God’s Spirit in our heart

His Flame to purge us too

 

New birth, is not an instant thing

Through grace we learn to see

Till selfishness has taken wing

From hell, we’re never free.....

We’re in the ark, redeemed by grace

Upon The Rock we’ll hide

Yet sin, can steal may bar the place

Reserved for Jesus’ bride

 

Sheltered from life’s infernal blast

Encompassed by The Flame

We can’t remain as in the past

Resuming lives of shame

 

The Word of God is deep and true

It speaks to us each day

But only when we seek to do

What Jesus has to say?

 

Who eat of Christ, in time will feel

Life’s substance flow within

It’s then The Lord becomes more real

Convicting souls of sin

 

God’s Flame burns deep within the heart

His Spirit lifts the veil

His judgement; in the church will start

That none in Christ should fail

 

God’s Holy Ghost will Truth unfold

Reveal God’s will inside

Upon the roof it may be told

If filth we try to hide

 

If from the past we seek to part

If life we’d start anew

We need! God’s Spirit in our heart

His Flame to purge us too

 

New birth, is not an instant thing

Through grace we learn to see

Till selfishness has taken wing

From hell, we’re never free.....

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.
