Like Candles in the Wind.....
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Like Candles in the Wind.....

Though life was bought on Calvary

Though life is here to find

Though life salvation gives us free

Yet most to this are blind

 

Against the facts, we’re oft thick skinned

The devil’s blinded eyes

Like candles in a blustering wind

Truth flickers ere it dies

 

Embrace The Truth before life fades

Before forever lost

Before the enemy invades

However high the cost

 

How swift at times a storm can rage

Thunder through lightning peel

Within life’s book may turn a page

Where doubt appears real

 

Through life we need God’s helping hand

In sunshine snow and rain

We need to heed each royal command

To stand against the strain

 

A house needs Christ as corner stone

The Holy Ghost inside

We dare not walk life’s trail alone

Without God’s Promised Guide

 

Too oft salvation’s round the bend

Often just out of sight

Even the blind will comprehend

Through Heaven’s gift of Light

 

Salvation waits for heads to bow

For man to bend his knee

The time is here the time is now

For lost blind souls to see…..

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.
