Make Sure

            Make Sure

The Truth is knocking at the door

Of all the lost and blind

The foolish proud, the child unsure

Those bound with self in mind

 

Receive The Christ receive your sight

Receive a brand new name

Be baptised in Life’s living Light

Receive God’s Promised Flame

 

God’s Holy Ghost reveals The Way

Will comfort and will guide

Restoring all who’ve gone astray

While burning filth inside

 

Be baptised in the death of Christ

Let self find swift demise

That through the portion sacrificed

To second birth you’ll rise

 

Yet take good heed be truly warned

Escape the judgement sword

Make sure Salvation’s Light has dawned

Make sure that Christ is Lord

 

For when He’s truly Lord and King

God’s Word would be your rule

You’d soon beware which song you’ll sing

You’ll play no more the fool

 

You’ll frequent church but not to rest

Not only to receive

You’ll come with what The Lord has blessed

So others may believe

 

We have a date with Christ to keep

God’s work requires haste

So no one’s called to sit and sleep

Nor precious time to waste.....

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.
