Tall He Stands

Though our knees are broken
When we pray to thee
Though we are mocked 
When we ask Him to set us free
We shall despair not 
For glory and honour we are prone.

We nay have suffered 
Blood we may shade
Rebuke our daily bread
In this foreign lands
Yet tall He stands 

Mercies He will give us
Sorrows shall come to pass
For in His formidable face
We are the chosen race
In joy we shall rejoice.

Our blushes of shame 
God will turn them
Never shall we be to blame
Let's avoid this earthly pleasures
In heaven we have our treasures
And double shall be the measure

In faith we remain still 
We overcome the thrill 
Before him we bow 
The end shall glow
As his promises flow.

We may fall 
Broken as the ancient walls 
Soaked in tears 
Foretelling our fears 
We shall whisper in His ears
To us he will remain dear.

We commit our afflictions to the Messiah 
As foretold in the book of Isaiah 
Double shall be our compensation
Eager, we shall wait for this heavenly portion.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
