When Knowledge Dawns

     When Knowledge Dawns

Through self; to God few sinners turn

Through pride, few knees will bend

Convicting Fire inside must burn

Heaven by grace will send

 

Remove; the devil’s nice disguise

Render to God what’s real

Expose the filth to holy eyes

The naked truth reveal

 

Be wise, acknowledge right and wrong

Beware of Satan’s snares

Refuse to sing the devil’s song

Renounce demonic wares

 

When faith takes captive all unknown

When living hope is seen

When Truth is sat upon His throne

The church is Jesus’ queen

 

Till then His arms are open wide

We’ll hear Salvation cry

We’ll see through faith to walk inside

To dwell in peace on high

 

Receive God’s Light in heart and soul

Allow life’s Flame burn bright

Have faith in Christ fulfil life’s goal

Accept your robe of white

 

When faith develops in Jesus’ hand

When truth appears to hold

When grace is given to understand

Reside within the fold

 

For even faith will bend the knee

Once knowledge comes to reign

All this, man’s eyes one’s soul will see

When Jesus comes again.....

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.
