The Truth Believed.....

      The Truth Believed.....

Can Heaven use a child like me?

Have I the strength to tell?

Can yet the world, be made to see?

Her offspring bound for hell

 

My neighbours say it can’t be done

Most friends and colleagues too

But now I know God’s Lamb & Son

His path I must pursue

 

It matters not what others say

What foolish tongues reveal

In Jesus Christ I’ve found The Way

To live the life that’s real

 

I’ve witnessed here I’ve challenged there

Watching the proud walk tall

I gave what Jesus had to share

But still I see them fall

 

I’ve seen them come I’ve watched them go

Witnessed them live and die

I see them fail by what they sow

And watch them wonder why

 

But still I’ve hope my faith is strong

In Christ I’m more than sure

If God has called to sing my song

I know that I’ll endure

 

A deeper depth a higher height

I know in Christ I’ll cope

At last the world may see The Light

And learn The Truth to hope

 

Thank God I’m in The Saviour’s hand

I’m wise to Satan’s lies

Soon I’ll hear His royal command

With His virgin bride to rise.....

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.
