God's Lamp within.....

          God's Lamp Within.....

“The wayward man, must understand

The truth of Christ, is real

The answer found in Jesus’ hand

Love’s eager to reveal

 

Through Adam’s sin, the earth God cursed

Defiance made us weak

To eat by sweat, always to thirst

Until God’s grace we seek

 

Till heads have bowed, till knees have bent

Till man repents of sin

Till hearts receive, whom Heaven’s sent

Till Truth; judges within

 

God’s Lamp, to light the darkest night

To lead the blind to see

To give the naked, robes of white

And set the captive free

 

From in the bowels, life’s Flame will rise

Upon man’s flesh, He’ll reign

Purging out lust, demonic lies

Until one’s born again

 

Who’ll enter though The Father’s Door

Through Christ God’s Lamb & Son

Giving true life, giving much more

When Heaven’s will is done

 

But Satan prowls, in great disguise

To rob to cheat to kill

But Christ as Lord will open eyes

Of those on Zion hill

 

Walk straight God’s child, the road of life

Take heed, your Lord’s decree

Remember though, Lot’s foolish wife

Once Christ has set you free”.....

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.
