Hired Hand

Hired Hand

and so we see, 
That some are in the hands of God because they love him, his son, and his commandments.
While others point the finger of their false Gods
and teach a false Christ to their neighbors.
and Jesus exalts his holy father in heaven and says 'I am the way'.
while others teach, 'I am your holy father come to my church and pray'.
and they set up idols and false gods as stumbling blocks, to lead the flock astray.
I witness, it would be better for them to destroy all their images, statues, and artifacts, 
than to have one proselyte kneel before them to pray.
and I'm afraid
that no place for them will be found
come judgment day.

And Moses was a mighty warrior who with words and power divided a nation.
How much more mightier the Lord Jesus Christ, 
who divides churches, people, and nations.
and the blind cannot see for they cling to their twisted faith
how can those in the hands of false gods
ever find their way
for it is not in them to repent
for the sins that they commit 
easier for them to deny and or justify
their deeds, their ways, and their sins

I surely agree with the sentiments you express here, Mark, especially the line "the blind cannot see for they cling to their twisted faith." Much truth in this great poem! Love, Carolyn
