Has God Died?

    Has God Died?

Throughout the world great people fall

No kingdom’s seen to cope

God doesn’t seem to care at all

Or give mankind much hope

 

Where is the church of yesterday?

Why is there so much war?

Could it be God has gone away?

Or closed to man His door

 

Why does He choose from man to hide?

Why do we feel alone?

Could it be God Himself has died?

And left us on our own

 

Questions to God since time began

Accusers in file and throng

The devil’s always roamed with man

Teaching his crafty song

 

But Satan sees the doors of hell

His followers understand

That God’s alive and all is well

In Jesus’ caring hand

 

Hell’s demons plan for man’s defeat

For man’s complete demise

They’re here to kill to lie to cheat

Make blind unwary eyes

 

The tongue; they seek to capture first

For mighty is The Word

Through which we’re blessed through which we’re cursed

Through which The Truth is heard

 

The Truth which seals their pending fate

The Truth that burns inside

The Truth that opens Heaven’s gate

For Love’s eternal bride.....

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.
