With a hardy cheer applaud,
Christ the King once more outlawed,
Defaulted His disciples queer,
Who dare proclaim His doctrine clear.
Tag: word
He stood
His Word became flesh,
God’s ultimate good,
Within His own world
Condemned there He stood.
Averse
Averse my use averse,
“You’re wordy!” she exclaimed.
Terse as well inverse,
My diction she defamed.
Mislabeled my abuse,
Conciseness was to blame.
Accepting my correction,
My problem she renamed.
Omnipotent
Omnipotent
He will decide
Who will come
To His beside.
Dirty word
My Lord’s a dirty word
Unless you state Him vainly,
Offensive to the herd
Who’ve redefined him plainly.
Off the bus
Off the bus, away the talk,
Too commanding, God His Word,
Crippled, broken, hard to walk,
Disabilities preferred.
Only Christ removes the curse,
Terminal our skepticism,
No rest in peace inside the hearse,
On to higher criticism.
Stamp
The stamp of our approval
Is what requires removal.
His Word must take dominion
Minus our opinion.
Bottle
Bottle go and smoke it.
Stab at it and poke it.
Empty it and choke it.
Steadily provoke it.
Statutes holding on.
Weaker making strong.
Joining in His throng,
Right against the wrong.
(This poem inspired by Psalm 119:83 – “ For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.”)
Out of
Out of thick darkness
Out of the cloud
Out of the fire
Spoken aloud
Written on tablets
Adding no more
His Ten commandments
For evermore
(The poem above inspired by Deuteronomy 5:22 – “These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more . And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.”)
Word in the head
By what He said
Spoken a right
Word in the head
Muscles made tight
Quickening dread
Just by His might
Raising the dead
God’s Word in sight
