Hey, I thought I would designate a place for us to share our Christian-inspired poems.I don't know how common it is for others to write poems, but I like to do this from time to time.Here is one poem I wrote

"Jesus, the Ancient One"

Oh, ancient One
I fall before you
And the radiance of the Son

Oh, ancient One
You have created
And by your Word you say it's done

Oh, ancient One
You have given life
And your resurrection's become

Oh, ancient One
Oh, ancient One
Oh, ancient One

"The Lamb Who is a Shepherd"

The Lamb on the altar
Will be slaughtered in blood
But does even this in peace
By doing what He should
He's betrayed with a kiss

The words in our own head
He numbers all our hairs
And we have to respond
By our inclinations
He's the all-knowing One

The devil of this world
He causes us trouble
And does so willingly
From lying and killing
He's assailed by the Lamb

The news of the Lamb spreads
He gives us the lessons
And we walk as He does
By His self-sacrifice
He's the perfect shepherd

"The Man Who Knows No Fear"

The sun rose from the Earth
The temperature was cooled.
The religious Elders wanted
To murder someone of worth.

They took Him to the governor.
Remorse from the man's betrayer,
Cause self-murder.

The governor asked,
If he was king of Judea.
Fearlessly, He replied, "You said so,"

The Elders who so hated Him
Needed the man to answer them
For their deceived testimony
But He did not answer the matter

The Governor gave a choice.
He knew the Elders' envy.
The Elders chose the innocent.
The Elders sought His death quickly.
In envy did they seek to harm.
Then he washed his hands.

“Crucify him!” the crowd jeered.
Horror, Anger, Angst, and Grudges.
The Fearless would die a Holy death.

“See to it yourselves!”
The governor said,
Afraid of the Fearless.

You have some choices to make.
Don't be a weakling
And run from problems.
Or be a person with a grudge
Who's full of resentment and death?
Or a governor,
Who is insecure?
Be a person of power.

The courage of one man
Can topple the most influential.
You'll be consequential.
Fearlessness against calamity
Is the source of freedom.
Bear your cross and follow the Fearless.

Be the one who rises against death.

·To repent and be saved
·Saying, "I am wretched"
·To help their unbelief
·Having mercy on doubters
·He is risen, as He said

"The Violent Pursuit of Truth Bellows"

I'm floundering with my recuse.
Don't know my stance that I refuse.
In ignorance, I'm staying strong
Because I cannot say that I'm wrong.

The dawning of light
And the quest of sight
Remains clear to me
What to do and be.

I feel dumbfounded and confused.
Can't tell if this is shock or ruse.
I don't know what I'm standing on.
Since the day that I asked, I've been gone.

The dawning of light
And the quest of sight
Remains clear to me
What to do and be.

So far. So far. So far I've traveled.
I've seen many things that I've marveled.
A flickering flame to my inner being
A light in my eyes that I'm truly seeing.

The dawning of light
And the quest of sight
Remains clear to me
What to do and be.

I've come, I've seen, experiencing
Reforming what may come tomorrow
The violent pursuit of truth bellows.

"Now and Forevermore"

Holy God calling deeper.
How spurious are my doubts?
Honoring the pure union.
How precious gift of salvation.

Hot as fire is my heart for You.
How the Lord has redeemed me.
Who would say what my God can't do?
How opaque the divination!

Holy One, and the righteous One!
How perfect is He who comes!
Who calmed the waves inside the storm!
How for now and forevermore!

"A Sword"

A sacrificing Savior
He has paid the penalty
For your wickedness and mine

He will rule and reign
He will crush His enemies
He will hold an iron rod

I am not deceived
I am not confused

A man of war
A God of war
A man of peace
A God of peace

Light and dark
Echos and balance
Discernment incarnate

They rejected their Savior
But the hope lives on
They have defiled God
But the hope lives on
But hope lives on

"I've come not to bring peace,"
He says courageously,
"I've come to bring a sword."
Double-edged
Through flesh and blood
Bone and marrow
Extremities, members

Illuminate, transfigure
The spear that pierced Him
The nails in His wrists
The crown of thorns
They tell a story
Of pain and suffering
A story of resurrection, recompense, and glory
And of resolution
In eternity

Untitled.

I come face to face
with myself
Learning who I am
A wretch
And you only learn one thing
When you come across the monster of "me"

I wrote this poem in reflection of this verse:

2 Timothy 3:2
"For people will be lovers of self,"

I tried to identify how I was falling into this myself.

"The Swing"

Keep the hands busy
Lest you get to thinking
Lest it get to your head
Lest you think you are better

Yet, I do try
To bring peace to my enemies
To be a source of comfort
To do the works of His hands

With right motivation
I seek to do what is right
But there is something inside me
That digs its claws in

Pride
Because I have done it
Because I have done well
Because I have succeeded

But there is one thing I seek
That the Lord is my shield
That the Lord is my strength
That He guides and equips
In these last days
In these last days

"The Hero Has Spoken"

"He came unto his own and
His own received him not"
These words have lost knowing

Men play with ideas that kill
Not knowing the fruit they hold
Forbidden fruit, not worthy of time
Not worthy to be called by name

For people see, but do not see
People hear, but do not hear
Their minds are rotten to the core
They have lost their sense

Abominations from the prophets
Ignorance runs rampant in the streets
The will of man runs deep to himself
There is no light to be had in darkness

But some will say, "Here, a man"
Some will say, "He fights for us"
Plurality of men committing blasphemy
Things no one should know, not believe
They will say, he, and others, are light
God's gift to the world, to liberate
But they are only dust and ashes
Turning to moths' in our mouths
They tell us what we want to hear
For the end will come, but to few
They will reap what they have sown
Corruption, carnal passions and disease
They will shut you up and punish you
They will say, "The hero has spoken"

Watch lest you fall for their trap
Lest you become like them
With their hive mind and talk

Remember of old,
"Day by day, we are being slaughtered"
Watch lest it happen to you.

Hold your platitudes
Hold your praise
I am but a man

All the longing of heaven
Yet I fall
Seven times seven

No penance
No sacrifice
No undoing

There is only cold regret
Like twisted metal
I lose my way

The train veers off
Fighting gravity
It's not enough
And I can't stop

Visions of grandeur and an inflated ego
It could make you hurl dry heaves at the eleventh hour

I'm so disappointed in myself
Throwing stones in my glasshouse
No shiny penny on the side of the road
Just living in the midst of my mistakes

This is what you died for
And it makes me bitter to think of it

Eternal Life is a gift to receive.
Not a goal or prize to be achieved (by good works).
