God’s Design and Word
God has written in letters
Thro’ DNA, in code
Within every cell
His signature, bestowed.
All Lives Matter
Not skin color, nor features
Since there’s one human race
Should be all about virtues
Sadly many, have misplaced
Just Existing, or Purpose-Living?
To surrender and yield
As His possession, daily walking
Not existing, but fulfilling
God’s purposes and calling.
So, Listen!
So, listen with faith
Trusting God cannot fail
For in wisdom and love
He will always prevail.
‘Church’- Equip the Saints or ‘Seeker Friendly’?
So may church leaders, obey
Begin equipping the saints
For the work of the ministry
‘Fishers of men,’ to create.
Weeping and Gnashing
Tho’ many called, few are chosen
The self-righteous, are cast out
Into outer darkness
All the unclean, not allowed.
Don’t Rebel Against God
So we’re self-willed, self-reliant
Self-righteous, we blindly stray
Are defiant, independent
We want the last say.
Understanding Cultures, Beliefs
That we share, most effectively
Are understood, not just heard
Connecting, relating
Fruitfully, sharing God’s Word.
Are We Poor in Spirit?
Are we humble and lowly
Or proud, self-serving
Are exalting ourself
Or submissive, subserving?
Poor in Spirit?
Are so weary of self
All the efforts you make
Self-reliance, self-ambitions
All fleshly, vain mistakes.
