Poem
Never beyond distant shores is my Savior and Lord* Who knows my best condition! My soul He freed from hell’s eternal damnation He redeemed me, giving me His salvation Making me a heaven-bound citizen with eternal life’s possession. Never beyond distant shores is my satisfaction Grantor Who shows my bestowed privilege! My spirit He assured that I’m His child He does acknowledge He endowed me with precious inheritance based on His pledge Making me a potential investor in His divine work’s mileage. Never beyond distant shores is my tranquility Source Who fixes my peaceful being! My body He made the temple of the Holy Spirit I must be obeying He enables me to grow in His grace while unceasingly praying Making me a blessed Christian, while in His will, I keep on staying. Never beyond distant shores is my true Lover Who completes my wholeness! My heart He fills with His joy, mirth and gladness He meets my insufficiency and nothingness with timeliness Making me a rich heir in His gracious and loving bountifulness. Never beyond distant shores is my sovereign Guide Who settles my perspective! My mind He renewed when my sins He did forgive He teaches me by His counsels that His Word delights to give Making me a wise learner, as for Him, I decide to live. Never beyond distant shores is my triumph-Enabler Who builds up my testimony’s history! My desire He has geared toward proclaiming the Gospel story He subdues my selfishness, pride, and worldliness that bring me misery Making me a faithful steward, determined to serve Him toward His victory Never beyond distant shores is my faith-Upholder Who is my life’s sturdy anchor! My strength He empowers by His might where I find succor He straightens me in my pursuit for holiness while for Him I labor Making me a fruitful life-builder in leading others to His friendship’s harbor. *Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. June 20, 2018 8th Place, Distant Shores Poetry Contest Sponsored by Robert Haigh; judged on 6/22/2018.
