Tell Me - Who Do You Say That I Am

Tell Me -Who Do You Say That I Am?

Tell me.  Who do you say I am?

Word 
First voice to enlighten creation’s realms
Word of prophet’s words from mystic mystery runes 
Prophecy and proverb wearing vision
Flow from pure agape
Living Psalm
A to Z – song composed – never a chord that stumbles -
The perfect chaste circle drawn in round circumference
Architect of straight lines with no wobbles -
Unbroken circumcised covenant – designer of my soul

Tell me.  Who do you say I am?

Anointed Mighty
Unreachable star embraced
Crafter of restoration for rebellion thrashing
Defies disabled limbs with steps of faith
Transfiguration of blackness to see the eternal face
Opens ears to hear thunder’s glory
Dines with astonished tree dwellers
Full measure of mercy’s undisturbed pulse
Knows each of my words before they breathe


Tell me.  Who do you say I am?

Righteousness
Metamorphosis of nativity
Bottomless paradigm of favor
Wheat and grape in synchronicity
Holds back the hand that flings the stone
Raises up cowering shame
Eyes of perfect sight plan perfection’s gift for each heart
Pristine living covenant
My enigma’s answer – my conundrum’s solution

Tell me.  Who do you say I am?

Eternal
Valentine of paradise
Eden’s immaculate reforestation
Vine of the endless unblemished harvest
Anointed eternity with us
Wholeness of a holy rainbow 
Gold  - no need to be refined
Face of forever consolation
My first breath in every season’s restoration

Tell me.  Who do you say I am?

You are I AM.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 5/3/2021 12:48:00 PM I know I already commented, but since I'm back to reread it again, I just had to add another comment. I contributed to this poetry contest as well, but truly, if I could cast a vote I would certainly choose your poem above mine. It feels Holy, like the power of the Holy Spirit was really at work in it's writing. I love it so much. It is a masterpiece. My hope is that God uses this for many others. I've read it at least four times already. I could see this in a devotional. Login to Reply Sam Kauffman Date: 5/13/2021 10:17:00 AM BJ, Can you tell how far behind I am in responding to messages? Sigh!!! I am truly humbled by your message. I have to admit I felt the power of our wonderful Holy Spirit when writing this poem. I cannot tell you how much it means to me to know this reached out to you. I would love to have it in a devotional. Thank you for the suggestion! Sending you the blessings of our great I AM!
