Before He Comes Again....

    Before He Comes Again....

In righteousness I take delight

I marvel at God’s hand

Exchanging rags for robes of white

I’m blessed to understand

 

But who can comprehend Christ’s love

Or figure out God’s plan

However much I seek above

I see but as a man

 

Even the church is filled with awe

Although she’s Jesus’ bride

God’s opened wide Salvation’s Door

But few venture inside

 

They leave it to the few who preach

They’ll sing in church their song

But when The Truth a soul will reach

They feel there’s something wrong

 

The church should seek God’s deeper things

She needs to dig her well

Evangelise what Heaven brings

To save the lost from hell

 

Why else is man at war with God?

Why does he break The Rules?

Why are His servants seen as odd?

And oft religious fools

 

The world sees Christ through human eyes

Salvation darkly veiled

Still believing the devil’s lies

As though the church has failed

 

For righteousness the church must yearn

Obedience need to reign

God’s Fire within must truly burn

Before He 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.
