And the Lord Replied

Along the tattered worn paths that we may trod

Remember in times of trouble, you can always turn to God

He'll carry all your burdens and ease all your pains

He'll wash away your sins and remove all the stains

 

Impossible is not part of God's divine plan

So we try and do the best that we can

To be Christ like is our ultimate goal

To ensure our place in heaven we offer God our soul

 

He will never forsake you or lead you astray

He'll grant you everlasting life for Jesus knows the way

All honor and glory be to thy holy name

He's changed me forever and I'll never be the same

 

Delivered from all evil and wrong

Lovingly persuaded to do what is right

For now we are truly infinitely strong

because we will walk in God's holy light

 

You gave us hope when we had none

By offering unto us your only son

He came as a man to die for us

He is my savior and in him I will trust

You assured that if we truly believe

We have but to ask and we shall receive

 

We can't afford to live in doubt

Lift up your hands in praise and your voices to shout

That God almighty is headed this way

And I'll be there to meet him on that blessed day

We await your arrival in awe and with pleasure

Because we know that in heaven we will receive our true treasure

 

 

AND THE LORD REPLIED:

 

Learn to trust just knowing I am there

Teach my word to all and remember to share

All that I am I will abundantly give

So that each one of you shall eternally live

Giving power and granting peace from within

Bestowing victory over death and sin

Savor the bliss of resting in me

As you await on bended knee

With your eyes to the heavens and your hearts filled with me

I ask you my children where do you want to be?

I am so proud to read this on this forum. This is an encouragement and it a beacon in darkness. The poetry flowed nicely. I only noticed a couple of meter hiccups, once in stanza two and again in stanza 3. This is heartfelt and beautiful. I would invite you to read my poems "Falling Away" and "O Great Solomon". I am eager to read more of your stuff...

I loved it!

It is so awsome that you
wrote something like this
about God

To be honest I get mad because
I am not where I should be with him
but I know he loves me

Thank you for putting this up
this was really inspirational
