The Seed of Life
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

         The Seed of Life

The Truth is here to hear and read

To serve and make us whole

Life’s dawn is like a mustard seed

God plants within one’s soul

 

God’s living Seed, does not come cheap –Isa.53:1-12

And yet completely free

When from  the tree He’s planted deep –Jn.20:1-31

Inside of you and me

 

When God’s true Seed we have believed

Receives The Promised Dew!

The miracle; before conceived

Gives birth to life anew

 

As water, poured on desert land

Will sicker deep within

The unseen work by Jesus’ hand

Will soon true growth begin

 

Building a hedge resisting hell

Achieving Heaven’s will

We need to seek Salvation’s Well

Our cup with truth to fill

 

We need to drink of Christ God’s Son

Acknowledge His Blood today

We need to drink till life is won

That fails to see decay

 

From Heaven’s Bread we need to feed

Within God’s Vine take root

Allow His Flame consume hell’s weed

And bear Salvation fruit

 

Obedience is the precious wine

Within God’s cup to pour

Escorting Truth, to life divine

Through Jesus, Heaven’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.
