I wrote this poem about my husband who had many
struggles. He overcame a lot of them when he gave
his life back to the Savior. We ministered many years
together then, he was struck with throat cancer and
lost his voice but, he is still ministering with a
machine.
Clarence A. Jennings Son of the World Now, Son of God
A baby named Clarence was given to a mother
at a tender yet an older age
she disappointed to find she was with child once again
but only during her first stage.
As her time grew near the happiness about
this little one was certain to grow
and a few years later it showed God s wisdom
about his birth that she would surely come to know.
This child was no mistake
as some had foolishly thought
and the devil would have liked to have prevented his birth
as he and his demons at it had fought.
Allen at an early age
had struck out on his own,
he dropped out of high school and began to work at age 15
and made payments of rent to his mother for their home.
He had come to know Jesus at age 19 and
was filled by His Spirit within
but chose not at that time to yield and follow Him
and instead began a life of sin.
You know sometimes we have to get our fill of
even vile and ugly things
to appreciate the gifts of God and all that He
to us can bring.
And because he has tasted of this world
and understands it bitter dregs
God has called him Pastor Evangelist Prophet for his compassion
and he would reach many adults as well as their kids.
He had several years of ministry
and preaching to the lost
and then a vile and evil disease struck his throat
and his voice from him it did cost.
But even through this sorrow Allen has given all of himself
to be used by God to glorify his King
and will throughout eternity lift up his Heavenly voice
in praise and worship to Him and he will gratefully sing.
