Christ Alone.....

Christ Alone

 

I searched the world with lustful eye

Regardless where I’ve been

I learned my God You satisfy

Far more, than all I’ve seen

 

In You I find my daily bread

In You I get my fill

I’m made content with what You’ve said

When all around is still

 

Supplied within my daily prayer

I thrive on what You give

Alone the knowledge that You care

Gives strength through which to live

 

Eating drinking Your every word

I know the bible’s true

From all on earth I’ve seen and heard

There’s nothing quite like You

 

It’s Christ alone my God I need

It’s Christ who makes one whole

His righteous flesh on which I feed

Sustains my weary soul

 

Others may laugh may mock in scorn

Doubting You made me free

Yet soon I know the day will dawn

Where all on earth will see

 

Till then, this child’s remaining here

On Christ I can depend

In Christ my God I’ve nought to fear

Wherever life may send

 

With sin I’ve nothing more to share

The world has nought I yearn

I’ll eat and drink Your finest fare

Till You for me return.....

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.
