My Soul, You Need To Turn To God

My backslidden soul*, you were converted by GOD’s Word As shown by your divine growth and testimony ’s record, But you departed away from that great spiritual cord Broken by worldly financial and material sword. Turn to God Who rescues by His grace He can afford! My prodigal soul, you were so blessed greatly As the Lord provided for you tremendously, But you neglected sound principles biblically That caused your moral downfall fatally. Turn to God Who can restore you fully! My wayward soul, you were known to be Christ-honoring As evidenced by your heavenly walk and divine bearing, But you embraced humanistic doctrines so devouring, Making you proud, yet continuing in miserable erring. Turn to God Who can transform you be God-fearing! My discouraged soul, you were before an example of zealousness As seen in your conviction for godly standards and uprightness, But you despised God’s presence and defied His holiness While taking for granted prayer and Bible’s effectiveness. Turn to God Who can bring you to His righteousness! My unfaithful soul, you were then fulfilling the Great Commission As proven by your mission-minded pursuits, filled with compassion, But you failed to stay in the ancient landmarks of faith’s action By compromising with secularism and liberalism’s motion. Turn to God Who can plant you on His firm foundation! My wavering soul, you were a guide to them who found real freedom As told by those who owe to Christ thru you what they’ve become, But you forgot the real source of genuine authority and wisdom When you abandoned the only Way to heavenly kingdom. Turn to God Who invites that to Him you humbly come! My dear soul, you surely need God with His forgiveness and guidance As He alone can surely lift you up from your critical imbalance, Beg on Him to uphold you on His church’s scriptural stance And to behold you with His loving care by His divine glance. Turn to God Who can pull you for revival’s sustenance!
*Psalm 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. May 22, 2018

Observing the soul can be a meditative and reflective experience, a connection between the supreme faith and the poetry.
