With That Same Meaasure (1)

 

God’s judgement with the bride will start

The church bearing His name

Through Spiritual Fire in her heart

Convicting her of shame

 

Revealing deeds of wilful sin

Purging her wayward land

Life’s righteous Judge will first begin

With those in Jesus’ hand

 

I speak of facts in truth my friend

You say I’m not to judge

But all my words will Christ defend

And bear for me no grudge

 

Self-righteous! Yet you say of me

But God enthroned on high

Can see the times I bend the knee

When such as you, I cry

 

My soul is clean my words are true

No more with heart of stone

In Jesus’ name I speak to you

No more am I my own

 

The line I use is not too short

My scales and level’s good                    Pro.11:1

With this in mind I just report

And judge, as watchmen should            Eze.33:1-20

 

With selfsame scales The Living God

Will judge each word I say

He’ll use on me the selfsame rod           Mt.7:2

As now I use today

 

Of this my friend I have no fear

I judge with love in mind

That’s why today I’m standing here

For God, the truth’s not blind…..

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.
