Best Evangelism Poems
I
Wishes that you find peace, the Hebrew Shalom
For it includes well-being, being WHOLE-some
One need not have religion when one has Shalom
So my deepest desire this Covid year, for everyone
To heal by sharing how you love another, and pray:
For me and my ministry in Newtown, South Africa
Pray especially for women and children, gossiper
About abuses here, I have been, Not today
I just ask: Think of places of abject need - for "play"
That the Creator intended; relaxing in a healthy way
But lest I preach, I wish for more of your poetry about
Many, many poets know it their words lift HOPE out
From the morass Humans find themselves in
Then spend a little time 'fore and aft' Christmas, within
II
Ask oneself this: who puts first breath in newborns?
Or tells them to cry, or send lips after nipples?
If that's too elementary ask thyself: How do I blink
Who tells my eyelids to open, shut, dodge, avoid specks?
And as important, who BEATS MY HEART when I'm asleep?
Why does it not malfunction when I'm at rest, healthy,
Before I have contributed to the wear and tear?
Siblings, whoever and whatever set the planets in safe orbits
Needs a moment of reflection from you & me: with or without a Tree
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
harness the glory trails;
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
I walked for God's glory;
To heal and back for this story;
To share with man and men;
To sleep and rise and do it all again;
waters fill my soul;
My sandals I worn, filled with earthy shore;
But my feet are pure;
Beautiful feet of evangelism;
Spread the word, to lost and saved;
Liken Paul I walk in all directions;
Harness the glory trails;
Dry bones a rise
rise up
Get out of those graves;
Lord help us close the division;
Of the beautiful feet of evangelism;
Reference Isaiah 52:7

Eternal Father God of light, and Creator of all
Vindicate us sinners before your throne of grace
Apostles of your word, and ransomed of the Fall
Nurtured by your word we go unto every place
Gospel toters of your truth, lovers of repentance
Evangelizing by the power of the love you gave
Looking to in hope that you will us faith that saves
Inspirer and Answerer of prayer, the evidence
Seen in the saving of the Saviour's cross we tell
Martyrs and saints we stand against the call of hell
Master, how can we as sinners be saving others
Except for your vicarious power to usn given
Angels are amazed sinners enmity in sin falters
Nature groaning gasp to see the pilgrims of heaven
Separated from the world, in new birth rejoicing
Lord of our life, teach more your truth to share
Open doors for us, your harvest to gather there
Vessels of your grace we depend on you for all things
Emmanuel dwell us by your spirit until we see you King of kings.
Oh, Wash Me
thoroughly
Jesus as it is written
How beautiful are the feet of them
That preach the gospel of peace
And bring glad tidings of good things
Beautiful, beautiful sweet feet of evangelism
Harness the glory trails beautiful
Feet of evangelism I walk for God's glory
Marching on I walk
To heal the sick back and forth
This is the story to see to sleep and rise
And do it all over again waters filled my soul
My sandals are worn filled with earthly shore
But my feet are pure
Beautiful feet
Walk on spread my toes
Place my feet on the hot desert sands to the lost
And the save like in Paul I walk
And in all directions carrying my sword and my shield
Harness the glory trails dry bones rise up
Get out of those graves
Lord help us close the division of...
the beautiful feet of evangelism

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2022
Do not get down and dirty, if you are found evangelizing where pigs, chicken, dogs ... roam free.
Some days it gets to me
Requests for prayer, currency
One can try quiet neutrality
But stories are hard, dependency
Here: crystal, Meth, Tik, or glass-y
U pray today, they call U "kuk" next day
It's the drug, makes voice big, manly
Others lost money, all, personality
Others want me to save their jobs
It's hard to bring them to Kerk, "slobs"
Believe they need shoes, good clothes
So I meet them anywhere, on the roads
I pick up heartbreaks, needs, dreams
Pushed my wife once, awoke for screams
NOTE: this poem was frozen on my cell for a long time. I kept sliding down the page for the POST button. I got lucky, but lost 3 poems between last night & today. My LORD knows what needs to be shared, so I'm trying to remain positive and in shalom. Shalom of Jesus the CHRIST!

A candle drives darkness back
with beauty of glowing light,
giving of itself as flame’s fuel
until completing its calling.
Then another candle takes its place…
and then another… and another…
Flickering but enduring,
a shimmering succession
persists while darkness reigns
until morning dawns eternal.

I
On waking, I'm thankful for dangers we triumphed over -- daily traps and miracle escapes
II
I thank my LORD, for a few insults and surprise compliments from known quarters
III
Small successes are important; meditation on these keeps all fatigue at bay (hallelujah, PTL)
As I write ... streams slow
And a trickle of guilt
Flow, flow, flow
"Father, father, Faaathhher"
From beyond my gate and border
"Pastor, pastor, pastor"
Was the cry an hour before
He, Shady, got 5 Rands; he hoped for more
But as I write, I decide
Wonga won't be attended to
8 o'Clock at night? No, Charity will wait
I have shared uncooked & cooked rice
And the usual soups, bread, fruit
Coins adding up to 30 Rands
But mostly under 17; to enhance
My safety - giving minus predictability
So my "parishioners" see limits
But raised mostly Catholic, FATHER
Comes naturally to them -
I did not take any title at the beginning
They avoid churches, even at funerals
Tents at homes is the local culture
So I share a little, though few attend
Our Protestant style of worship
Yet, once a week I invent JesusLuvsU Day
Jesus is Love, Love, LOVE
(2D Acrostic).
Admirably blessing, caring devotion,
Beautiful curator, develops evangelism,
Creating dedicated, evolving faithful,
Divine epistles, faith growing.
