Blessing Wingbah Poet Free verse

A Sinner's Plea

A sinner's plea

Whenever that day arrives 
at the sound of the trumpet 

One that has been prophesied
through the sands of time

A day that both the living and dead 
shall be judged 

Not by their appearances or wealth 
But by their faith they kept through 

Withstanding every trial sent their way
Will I ever be worthy of the Lord's judgment?

I am but a human 
Created to be stainless 

Yet vulnerable to the charms of sin
Will I be worthy of the Lord's kingdom?

Beata Agustin February 4, 2022 at 4:56 AM Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. Meanwhile, I welcome you with God's love, expressed in John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.

Valerie Staton January 29, 2022 at 4:09 PM Nicely written. As I read your poem I thought of a gospel song my mother used to sing called "Heaven Belongs to You". I can hear her singing it now. It said if you live right, heaven belongs to you, if you pray right, if you treat your neighbors right, etc. Take care. God bless you! Blessing Wingbah January 31, 2022 at 1:23 PM Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.
