Be not sad, nor weep, o soul,
For thou art wonderf'lly made.
Thy Lord alone shall make thee whole,
"Draw near Me", He hast bade.
If, o soul, thou knew His Love,
Thy heart would burst with Joy!
The heavenly King, reigning above,
His Son, for us, employ'd.
Don't you see, o poor, sweet soul
How precious thou art to Him!
He descended to us, from seat of gold,
And fought; your heart to win.
Have Hope, no fear; rejoice o soul!
For He hast won thee life.
Such mercy forgives thy sins of ol',
Redeems all worldly strife.
I don't claim that my poetry is very good, but it is something I enjoy doing. It's my own little way of trying to praise and give glory to my God. I hope you enjoyed reading this :)
I did enjoy reading. Your words particularly touched me today. I'll be keeping them in mind throughout Lent. Thanks, and God bless!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poetry :) I think it's wonderful.. especially because it's touching others with the unfathomable love of Christ.
