A Poem

Once a month on a Sunday morning, our church has what we call “Communion Celebration”. Instead of one speaker giving a message, it’s a special time where regular members of the congregation can share a testimony, a revelation, a song, etc.

… When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.” 1 Corinthians 14:26 (ESV)

About eighteen months ago, I felt like writing a poem to share. The last time I had written a poem would have been back in high school! I hope this is for your edification (building up).

The King of kings—oh how I love to praise—
The Lord of lords to whom my voice is raised!
He is so good. It's plain to see.
His love, His grace extends to me.

It's God the Father Whom I wish to please.
I give my life—an off'ring He receives.
Although I sometimes do much wrong,
He yet forgives—says I belong.

Lord Jesus Christ, God's one and only Son.
He died for me which makes Him Number One!
Sometimes I look at me—so sad,
But Jesus paid for all my bad.

The Holy Spirit lives with me today
I trust in Him to lead me on The Way.
I need to open to Him more.
So I, empowered, won't be poor.

I love You Father, Son and Spirit, all.
I really want to know You so much more.
One day I'll see You face to face,
yes, only by Your love and grace.
