Poem
If only I could turn back the hands of time: I would be more grateful to God for my assured salvation bringing me His gracious compassion sealing my spirit with grand redemption against religion’s hell-bound option… And optimize my utmost to share with others everlasting life’s possession. With regret that I could not turn back the hands of time: I repent for not being able to shine and reflect God’s divine holiness imputed to me through Christ’s virtuous righteousness sanctifying my soul through great forgiveness against carnality’s defiling filthiness... So I could minister well with Christian kindness. Hoping to turn back the hands of time: I see myself vibrantly praising God for His eternal security protecting me within His supreme sovereignty guarding my commitment-certainty against vanity’s alluring enmity… While smiting by faith irrational doubts and uncertainty. Though I could not turn back the hands of time: I still can esteem God for granting me spiritual freedom acquitting me from sin’s verdict by His sacrificial ransom shielding my heart from destructive idolatry’s welcome against iniquity’s entangling stardom… Verily ushering fellow men to the Saviour’s kingdom. Wishing that I could not turn back the hands of time: I ask God to lengthen my years to enjoy heavenly fulfillment satisfying me with His blessed contentment enriching my inheritance of priceless settlement against earthiness’ futility-indictment… As I bring to the needy the Source of infinite wealth’s entitlement. Granted the power to turn back the hands of time: I must never miss communing with God’s in blissful worship meeting me within His sweet prayer-altar partnership warming my devotion at His throne of fellowship against worldliness’ dominating friendship... For me to persevere in discipleship along faithful stewardship. Miraculously turning back, for my sake, the hands of time:* God in His omnipotence upholds me to abide in His glorious victory blessing me around His perfect will-territory enabling my triumph to prevail midst hatred of evil fury against transgressions’ affliction-misery… Driving me to proclaim unceasingly His wondrous Gospel’s love story. *Colossians 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Dramatic Monologue in Rhyme form October 9, 2019 3rd place, "If Only We Could Turn Back the Hands of Time" Poetry Contest Sponsored by Silent One; judged on 10/14/2019.
