I'm Lame (1)
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

      I'm Lame not Dead (1)

Though lame, I sit within my chair

With pain in bed I lie

Through Jesus love and tender care

I’ve ceased to wonder why?

 

I wake each day I bear my cross

In faith I gave my soul

My gain is Christ I bear no loss

In Him! I’m more than whole

 

God’s Way is often hard to tread

While Truth; I hold in view

Though night to some brings fear and dread

My dawn brings life anew

 

Malformed perhaps, but no one’s fool

Of God I ask no more

By Heaven’s grace this uncut jewel

May enter Heaven’s Door

 

For in The Lord I’m wholly sealed

In Christ I have my fill

If in this world I’m never healed

Within the next I will!

 

All flesh will fall will see decay

Will turn in time to dust

But I’ll be healed on glory day

On this I’ve placed my trust

 

It’s Christ alone who’s set me free

Who saves and keeps from hell

Can God not use a child like me?

Like others fit and well?

 

I may not see as good as some!

I may not walk as most

But I’m not called to sit here dumb

With God The Holy Ghost..…

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.
