Luke For Easter

I
LORD, thy word and sword
They comfort and confront me
As with David, once shepherd then king
But he was reNEWed: man after Thy heart
Holy Spirit, drive me, pysh me to thy Word
For when I read more than daily devotions
As with Luke chapter 9, today
You grant me boons: bounty in Thy Way
Comfort, sword of The Word

II
Jesus trains and teaches across ten days
Knowing, foretelling, what waits in Jerusalem
The bitter cup of crucifixion in humiliation
But he dared NOT turn; set His face toward Zion
My savior! In the flesh He didn't know of Rising
That the holy spirit would resurrect & help defy death
The teaching, the miracles, the TEACHINGS
IN TEN DAYS Before his sacrifice of himself
In Jerusalem where bulls, sheep, pigeons died
As atonement. The most merciful teachings given:
Those not against us, are friends. The low is but High
Unless ye be as this child, you won't enter My Kingdom

Yes, God's word is power ! The more we rely on His words and try to live according to the word of God, the more powerful we become. The testimony of one who strives to spread the word of God !
