What is Life?

I invite you to read my poem.

What is life?
Is it making the most of it?
Is it a life-long list of experiences?
Is it being honoured?
Is it a walk down the line of sameness?

What is life?
A mere existence?
Perhaps a bucket list?
Regret, shame or bitterness
Perhaps, anyone's guess.

What is life?
A search for treasures?
A search for fame?
A search for notoriety?
A search for the latest trending game?

What is life?
Is it heartache,
Pain,
Grief,
Or a life that is all too brief?

There is one who had the power of death
This one is the devil
But Jesus
Through (His own) death
Released us.

Although we might die
We live
Although we might suffer
We rejoice
And lift up our voice.

Genesis 2:15-17
Romans 5:10-12
Colossians 1:13-14
Hebrews 2:14-15

Poem: Reconciled to God

I invite you to read my poem.

Be reconciled to God
Come to Him this day
He sent His own dear Son
To us to make a Way.

Through the departure
The covetousness, greed, and hatred
The unforgiveness and pride
We gradually made our, own bed.

God loves us so much
He made a Way where there was no way
We were cut off from God because of our sin
But God has stuck with the human race through thick and thin.

God didn't leave us orphans
He made us family again
Your Father in heaven is looking down
For you, His own dear Son was slain.

John 1:29, 3:16
2 Corinthians 5:18-19, 5:21

Next Life

I invite you to read my poem.


This life is only a shadow
A passing slide show
There is another life that's eternal
A life in which we're not tossed to and fro.


Jesus Christ is the Way
He is the Way to this next life
Where there's no more heartache and pain
No fires and flooding rain.

A Life Laid Down

I invite you to read my poem.

God made us in His own image
He loved creating us and our earthly home
He spent time visiting us in the cool of the day
He would come and say gidday.

God created
He is Creator
Some of those God had created, chose to defect
Out they trekked.

Satan came down
He came down and caused chaos
His scheming worked
In a serpent, he lurked.

Adam and his wife had now eaten
From the only off-limits tree
They consciously decided to take and eat
What was not theirs to take and eat.

Satan had brought Eve's focus
To this one tree
Saying, you will not die;
But like God you will be.

But in their day
Adam and Eve did die
Full of sin and shame
While neither accepting the blame.

With Adam and Eve being our first parents
Man has struggled with sin ever since
But God didn't walk away
He chose to stay.

Sin entered the world through one man; Adam
And death came through sin
But God did not abandon us
He stayed with us through thick and thin.


Jesus Christ paid the ransom
He chose to lay down His own life
We were redeemed by God's own Son
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Genesis 2:16-17, 3:1, 3:4-6, 3:8-9, 3:12-13.
Romans 5:12, 5:17.
John 10:18, 14:6. James 1:15.

King

I invite you to read my poem.

Jesus is King
Supreme
King of kings
Countless, in adoration, each one sings.

Jesus is King
Resolute
Powerful
Praise Him with harp and flute.

Jesus our King
Fierce, and protective
The Good Shepherd
He died so that we could live.

Jesus is King
Illustrious and Grand
Resplendent 
Before Him, we stand.

Living Hope

I invite you to read my poem:

What is hope?
Something longed for.
Worldly hope is just a desire floating around
But Living Hope is amongst us 
An Anchor - weighty and strong
A heavy Rock song.

Living Hope has a name
And His Name is Jesus
Living Hope is not built on circumstances
Circumstances rise and fall
But Living Hope endures
A permanent, living wall.

Living Hope is abiding
Living Hope is strong and sure
Living Hope is alive
Living Hope is real
Living Hope is Jesus
Living Hope; no-one can rob you of, or steal.

Hebrews 6:19-20, 1 Peter 1:3.

Trust

I invite you to read my poem.

No matter what's going on
In your life
Or around you
Even much strife
When madness is rife
Cling on to Him for dear life.

Tossed about in an endless sea
Waves so much higher than you
They come relentlessly
Crashing down upon you
Breathers are few
You become tired and blue.

Some days you are so consumed
You can not see the Light
You may not see Him
But don't ever doubt
And never stop putting your trust
In the One Who will break the drought!
