Lord, Lord

 

Has Jesus Christ absolved your shame?

Replaced your sin with song?

Does in your heart burn Heaven’s Flame

Convicting, when you’re wrong

 

Is Christ The Lord, in all you do?     Lk.6:46

The guide, of all you say?

Have you truly been born anew?

To walk God’s chosen Way?

 

Is faith and trust so close at hand?

You fear no more the sword?

Through love, you heed the royal command?

Of Christ, your reigning Lord?

 

Do you obey The Master’s voice?

Trust Christ Redemption’s Seed

Consult God’s Son free of choice?

In thought, in word and deed

 

Though oft it’s hard to walk life’s road

To drink Salvation’s cup

Or yield; to Jesus’ spurring goad

So God can lift us up

 

Yet those who do; will never fail

They’ll stand the test of time

They’ll rest, when others burn in jail

For all their wilful crime

 

God’s sheep with Heaven’s Flame within

The Holy Ghost inside

Those washed in blood of every sin

On Heaven’s Wind will ride

 

With Christ as Lord with Christ as King

Through Heaven’s Royal command

We’ll rise through faith while angels sing

Into our Promised Land.....

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.
