Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Forsaken of God - Psalm 22: 15

Here you find the psalmist feels down
we all can sympathize with how he feels
feelings of depression and despair
not knowing where to turn, lost his zeal

He complains of losing his strength
been dried up with no water to drink
like broken pottery cracked of no use
crying out to God to save from the brink

The Psalmist tells of his complaint
his tongue has no good use left
it stuck to his mouth, can't move
feeling as if he's just about to faint

Here I am down now in the dust
thus speaks the Psalmist in despair
accusing his God of bringing him there
death he felt was certainly in the air

But he never totally lost hope
calling to God, O Lord come to my aid
deliver my soul extend my life
for your promises shall never fade

(Psalm 22:15. My strength is dried up like broken pottery; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth, and you have brought me down to the dust of death.)

Valsa George February 28, 2022 at 7:45 PM Though the psalmist is lying at the nadir of helplessness and despair , he strongly believes that his lamentation will reach the ears of God and He will listen to his pleas. A powerful poem, Gordon asserting that God will not turn away from us when we are in despair. Blessings !
