Best Come Before Poems
Come all you children
Day is braking , how all the birds are singing,
Glory to the Lord;
His peace on earth, and mercy He has,
God has blessed us with His love
Joyful we rise and great our Lord,
Join the birds in the sky;
The Universal nature says,
We are born a new each and every day,
Christ is with us always,
Christ, the everlasting Lord:
As He comes upon our call of help,
Always keep us on the right path,
Veil’d in flesh, to God we see,
Hail to our Lord Jesus of Deity,
Please oh Lord bless our friends,
Jesus, our savory for you we do,
Hail, the heavenly Prince of Peace,
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Risen with healing in his wings.
Mild we lays our glory to Him,
Born that man to die no more;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them a second birth.
Come all you children of the world,
come to Jesus the one who knows,
Fix in our hearts the humble home;
Rise, the worlds conquering seed,
Oh Lord we need your saving power,
Our souls need to be restored in thy ways;
Now in Spiritual union we join you Lord for ever,
Yours to ours, and ours to You Lord.
Jesus’ likeness, Oh God, efface,
Stamp His image in our hearts.
Send our Lord from above to guide us,
Reinstate us oh Lord in Your love.
Let us be the one though lost, regain,
Jesus is the life, the inner guide:
Oh, to all the world He comes to save,
With His love in each believing heart.

Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
please God clean me up
I was a wretch undone;
Unrighteous and dirty one;
My life was a mess;
Until I witnessed this....
my God, my God, my God;
Has washed my heart;
He's cleansed my soul;
And make me whole;
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
Oh! Lord I come before you dirty
please God clean me up
I am a dirty human;
So unworthy, so unholy;
But God has come along;
Has washed my heart;
He's cleansed my soul;
And make me whole;

from anthology "Praises"
And the ancients come before you;
And the people sing alleluia;
As the wonders of wonders;
Marvelously comes forth;
This is my testimony, this is my devotion;
This is my reasons for making Jesus my choice;
And God the people think me odd;
And Lord I must withstand the ridicule;
I've repented and turned myself around;
I've stop those choices that had me hell bound;
Oh, Lord, God I come before you Holy
I come before you Holy
I'm no longer the man that I used to be
Oh, Lord, I come before you Holy
I come before you Holy
I've stop doing those evil and unclean things;
Father God I am yours
All the naysayers and the doubters;
All the saved and under minders;
All those back-biting believers;
All those under achievers
I call them out, yes I call you out
You who are the backslider, preacher one thing but doing another;
And God people think their odd;
And Lord they to are ridiculed;
I can't judged them for this is where I once was;
All I can do is pray for them to turn it around,
Pray for them so that they won't be hell bound;
Oh, Lord I come before you Holy
We all come before you Holy
Sinners saved by grace awaiting your heavenly place
I come before you Holy
I am no longer the man I used to be;
Because I come before you Holy
We are not what we were as you can see, now we're clean;
We come before you Holy
Oh, Lord I come before you Holy

I come before you glory;
I come unto you unworthy;
I come to you in submission;
I come renewed and forgiven;
Father I’m not worthy;
Yet you gave me a pardon;
Jesus paid the price for me;
Now I have the victory;
I come before you glory;
I come to tell the story;
I come now so worthy;
Glory Halleluiah
Father I’m not worthy;
Yet you gave me a pardon;

Now I have the victory;

I come now so worthy;

Arranged music by James Edward Lee Sr. & The Corinthian™
I come before you, but you won’t be listening;
I come across uninviting, not convincing;
Yet you alone are combatant and unraveling;
Your temperament is passivating, resonating;
I come in peace
I come in peace
I offer up the Olive Branch
I increase my hand shake, putting pressure
I’ve learned those lessons in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy above
I stand before you, offering those treasures trues;
I come before you, a soldier of peace
Standing here without shoes on my feet
Because I’ve giving you my shoes and a soul, filled in love
From the Father
I come in peace
I come in peace
I offer up the Olive Branch
I increase my hand shake, putting pressure
I’ve learned those lessons in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy above
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy in love
I offer up the Olive Branch in joy in love

Alcanza lo mas
Profundo de mi
En nosotros me limpio de mi mismo Remodelarme
Remodelarme
Renovarme
Completame
Vengo antes de que me cambies
Sinner one I come when I before you Lord

I come before you, proclaiming you're Brother
Or Sister in Christ's death, that Eve was our Mother
Though you claim (in faith too) that my Truth’s your falsehood!
If all faith’s just faith, how can we in our childhood
Claim ‘Wisdom’ of adults (a goal that's aspired to,
Not some fait accompli)! Give grace to a man who
With some trepidation, bares what he's learned, naked,
As grounds for discussion! Let me serve the wicked
(That I too am one of) in poetry's fashion!
Oh, call me a fool? Let Hate die in my passion!'
Bible says (Science proves), "Eve's womb defines man,"
Shared genes though are found in all Life. (“This is God's plan?”
You laugh!) Is the joke not far bigger? Life's Stardust
From get-go! Is Life on parade more like gene rust
Or diamonds? 'Survival?' That's God's best idea?
Our God’s just utopian, tongue diarrhea?
Some days I think one way, the next, my mind wanders:
The subject is vast and men better responders
To divots on ‘fairways’ than potholes on highways,
Like sheep who've lost shepherd, we're skilled more at segues!
Less than three minute's we toil (on our best days),
Before our minds jerk off most trails that weak thought's blaze!
Today if some gloom overshadows our sadness
When Love seems to die, is it due to some badness!
Or more linked to seasons of every blossom?
You’re sure all friends’ deaths aren’t just souls who play possum?
Is God who’s behind this? Not souls’ choice I’m guessing,
My feelings get stretched past sane ends! (I’m confessing!)
But let me not fear that a soul’s not God’s gifting
As long as what muse flows through pen is uplifting!
Let what creates in Love cry when it’s absent!
More grownups then grok that our Truth’s adolescent,
The fragrance of God needs more gifting to master,
The depth of God’s Love more abyss to best pastor!
What Majesty makes no attempt at concealing
Dim senses discern as four walls, floor, and ceiling.
God’s light needs no ‘ether,’ but sound drowns in ‘vacuum.’
Does intellect dream it is Spirit in costume?
If flags (you salute) pose a threat to Mom's litter,
It's Fool's Bling you worship (God’s Truth’s more than glitter)!

It's been a good year and now Autumn has passed
and Paul, a servant leader of Christ had given his last
winter is on the horizon and Paul's season was about to end
so he wrote a letter to Timothy and mentioned all of his friends
Paul had come to realize that time waits for no one
he understood that his time on earth was about to be done
come before winter he wrote to his fellow Christians
come before winter so I may see you all again
he had fought the good fight, he had finished the course and stayed true to his faith
he had came through all his trials and tribulations with God's saving grace
it was his final season and in the spirit he had lived
he testified about the goodness of God and the cause to which he did give
when you walk in the spirit, when you're in step with Christ
you'll be more aware of the seasons and the purpose of your life
Paul was most perceptive of his imminent departure from this world
so he penned a letter to his dear fiends from the confines of his prison cell
to Timothy, to Luke and to Mark he wrote these words
to tell them about spiritual warfare and the lessons he had learned
he cautioned them to stay diligent on the Christian battlefield
and to come before winter as his time was about to yield
It was a few good friends that he most wanted to see
fellow brothers and sisters in Christ true disciples of Christianity
it was a few good friends whom had always given him support
and always had his back in whatever spiritual battle he had fought
he also named some people who at one time had did him a wrong
and said that God would repay them for their actions before long
come before winter, come before it's too late
to fight the good fight and possess a true faith
come before winter and please don't hesitate
just stay the course by making it great in 20008
COME BEFORE ME LORD
Come before me Lord;

I raise up my arms to receive the Father's blessings
As it rains forever more;
As we both come before the storm;
Venir avant la tempête;
Comme il pleut à jamais plus;
Laissez la pluie embrasser votre front;
Comme une grand-mère étreint son enfant;
Venir avant la tempête;
Tenant mon amour proche;
Venir avant la tempête;
I raise up my arms to receive the Father's blessings
As it rains forever more;
As we both come before the storm;
Ne portant que mon â me;
Tonnerre et foudre brille et les sons;
Tenant mon amour proche;
Nous sommes toujours si chaleureux;
Aimé de notre esprit à nos âmes;
Comme ces nuages blancs nous entoure;
Je lève mes bras pour recevoir les bénédictions du père
Comme il pleut à jamais plus;
Comme nous venons tous les deux avant la tempête;
I raise up my arms to receive the Father's blessings
As it rains forever more;
As we both come before the storm;
Randomly I come before you
With outreach hands embracing you
My heart, soul, spirit soars
All that I love you so
Also that I am true too
Of all the things I do
Praising God and being totally devoted to you
I'll be true
This I so choose
I come before you just to tell you I love you
I love the love of you

I COME BEFORE YOU
Though you may have problems in this old life;
And in this world there’s plenty of strife;
I come before you with eternal life;
Ignore yourself and allow me to have my way;
I come before you;
When the finance comes;
I come before you;
When that husband or wife on the run;
I come before you;
Before each and every meal;
I am real…
I come before you;
When the storms clouds come by;
When you feel no longer bold but shy;
When you forget to mention the sweet by N by;
Come on in, come over here and try…….
I come before you;
Before your mother and your dad, I come before you;
Those emotions I’ve allow you, to have, I come before you;
Those gifts and talents that you share;
Didn’t come out of thin air I’ve created it, I come before you;
The rain, the pains I come before you;
The seasons, blessings and misfortunes;
Let me explain only once not over N over again;
I am Alpha and Omega, I come before you;
I stand at the door and knock;
I’ve created all matter, all rocks;
Didn’t come out of thin air I’ve created it, I come I come
I come before you
