God's Changing Wind

     God's Changing Wind

Until The Wind of God was mine

Till Heaven brought The Light

Before I drank salvation’s wine

The Truth was not in sight

 

But now by grace He’s been revealed

Even to such as me!

Within His love I’m tightly sealed

And have Life’s Guarantee!

 

God’s power Heaven’s Glory came

Through Christ; God’s Lamb &  Son

Within life’s book He wrote my name

Forgiving all I’ve done

 

To know such joy one only dreams

Such peace was quite unknown

Through Jesus’ blood, Heaven redeems

To walk no more alone

 

God’s deadly curse, is mine no more

Through faith, this child believed

Within one’s heart God carves life’s law

With blessings rich received

 

Exalted by The King of kings

Raised up in faith to stand

With heart and soul my spirit sings

Within The Saviour’s hand

 

In He who died, I stand reborn

Through Jesus’ love and grace

I walk behind those curtains torn

Within God’s secret place

 

I serve where those of old have served

God’s Spirit shows The Way

I eat the bread for priests reserved

With Jesus night and day…..

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.
