With That Same Measure (2)

 

Though some may think these words a lie

Despised and of no worth

Let wisdom lead their pride to die

And raise to second birth

 

I speak of that I see is wrong

As watchmen in The Lord                        Eze.33:-

I sing in truth my Master’s song

It’s He; who has the sword

 

Through faith these lowly eyes can see

Through Christ, salvation’s mine

In Him I judge to set you free

With Heaven’s scales and line

 

I know in truth what Jesus said

I know the facts so well

But are we not to judge the dead? 

To save a soul from hell

 

At first I thought it too my friend

Is mine to judge this way

But now I fear no more life’s end          1Cor.6:3

Nor wrath on judgement day

 

I need to do what must be done

For this I’m saved to live

To glorify the Father’s Son

With all He’s had to give

 

So with these words my God I serve

I pray not one would waste

Though you may think I’ve too much nerve

Don’t throw them down in haste

 

They may not meet your every need

But in The Lord I pray

Allow them grow as precious seed

And let God! Judge my way…..

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.
