Poem
And then I came to accept Christ, Believed in Him for only He enticed, Conceived in my heart His light which shows me the way, Death and sin does no more darken my day. Even when I’m bound by ropes and can’t see why Firmly I hold on to my faith in Him for I know He will untie. Good Shepherd He is to all His sheep, Hope in Him gives my soul the soundest sleep. I now see it is the best decision I ever made, Jail was where I lived before, though my freedom was paid. Knowing that my life was purchased by the life of the King, Love could never have any other sweeter voice to sing. Morning comes and my day is full of joy Nothing evil I face will make my heart deploy. Only because in Christ I find what I need, Praying through Him always proves He’s a friend indeed. Question though is why the troubles never seem to cease, Rejections, persecutions, sufferings somehow seem to increase. Satan in such things is now made known to me, Tempting me to stop pursuing the One who came to set us free. Unseen are the real things, now I clearly perceive, Vexed it is to my mind, but in my heart I believe. What I know now is without Christ I cannot be whole, X-ray my life, Lord, cleanse it and take control. Yesterday is gone, but for these coming days strengthen me to pursue Zion with might, for there You promised I will meet You.
