I Won't Come Down (2
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

        I Won't Come Down (2

Since first I heard my Saviour’s call

I’m healed of every hurt

By faith walks now life’s righteous wall

A child, once common dirt

 

Some time it took to climb this height

Through sweat, troubles and tears

I won’t come down, however slight

Not in a million years

 

I won’t come down my Father’s wall

His temple built in Christ

I won’t come down, nor will I fall

The cost’s too highly priced

 

In Christ I stand, and here I’ll stay

Each trial in Him I’ll face

I won’t come down, by anyway

At last I know my place

 

I won’t come down, but stand until

In Truth I’ve reached my best

Learning, doing my Father’s will

I’ll pass life’s every test

 

There’s far too much my God has done

Too much He’s had to pay

The love He shares though Christ His Son

Won’t let me down, no way!

 

It’s by God’s grace I’ve come this high

While Satan wages war

Alert; stood here with open eye

I’ll play the fool no more

 

On eagles wing instead I’ll rise

The devil’s fought and lost

I’ll fly in God’s eternal skies

With Christ, who paid the cost.....

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.
