To Those Who Wait

 

We haven’t gone to Heaven yet

Some doubt they ever will

Many a need must first be met

And Satan’s out to kill

 

Who undermine demonic might

The devil’s cunning lies

Is like a fool, devoid of light

And clearly not too wise

 

Some say life’s yoke one has to bear

Is too intense for man

While strength in Christ is always there

While in His name we can

 

God gives power to those who wait         Isa.40:31

On eagle’s wing they’ll ride

His mighty arm’s so long and great

And devils cannot hide

 

Man’s mortal eye, yet may not see

The devils knows this too!

Yet sight, receive God’s children free

In Christ, when born anew

 

We’ll flee the wrath, God’s vengeful sword

While others burn in sin

True victory comes when Christ is Lord

When devils cannot win

 

It’s Jesus Christ The Father’s Son

It’s Jesus all the way

In Christ alone the battle’s won

And Satan, has no say

 

The strength of God will see us right

On Heavens’ Wind we’ll soar

Lifting us through the darkest night

Through Jesus Christ, life’s Door..…

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.
