Best Unto Poems
There is no money in the truth
No fame for all to know your name
Many selling goats and sheep
And the dove collecticeables
Still in these days to gain self praise
And profit from what Jesus done
The truth will strip one down to the core
In giving all glory unto the God
That snatched one from captivity of death
Not looking for a temple built by human hands
But within each one of us
To see none is good are better
Some have been circumcized from old self
While many still running around embracing it
But all have been given same access to unite
To become less of what the world chases after
And more of dying to the these ungodly ways
Sadly the truth might leave many
Feeling alone in this world of corruption
But within there is a fire that gives strength
In rememberence of Jesus trouble to find 12
To bring forth the new covenant tribes
For he even knew they would turn against him
Until they received the inheritance of the
Promised spirit to manifest within
Then they knew He was in them
And the Father He had told about in unity
May God bless, comfort, guide and
Fill you with His peace, love,truth,
Spirit and joy in abundance
Oh, Merciful God, with benevolent care
Who guards my little life from above,
To you I pray- hold my hand and lead me on,
For You are the mighty reservoir of love.
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
We see Your love in the charm of blooms
We feel it in the chime of winds
We hear it in the song of birds
We taste it in the warmth of friends
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
God’s abiding love comes my way
Without asking, it is showered on me.
Yesterday, Today and all the days to come
That’s how God willed it to be.
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
He, my fortress when enemies surround
He, my harbor when storms rage
He, my comfort when strength wanes
He, my ally in the wars I wage
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
He lifts me up as I stumble and fall
He carries me when I lag behind
This limping lamb of His hundredfold
Can His love be repaid, flowing in torrent?
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
In my sinful heart, Oh Lord, you come n’ bide
And with your loving presence, lift my load
Then my soul, in blissful state will reside
And nothing more in life, I shall need!
Sing ye all praise unto the Lord
For well we know He is our Guide (chorus)
Sorrowful unto death
(Ecclesiastes 1:18 KJV)
He that increases true wisdom increases grief...
exposing that the knowledge of serpent did not instruct the dove,
and to know serpent knowledge is to know,
how the house of Love was divided, that sorrow is in learning,
how many there are deceived of themselves….
To be harmless as a dove is to be love,
to be of a serpentine jester is to pester,
to pester life as a jester of strife...
is to be twain in total vain.
Love is oneness of twain in a wedding garment…
The trinity of infinity is the beginning of thee,
opening the sacred heart gives one options to see,
the beauty you see inside is the essence of thee,
tis also the beauty in the nature of a tree…
the nature of life’s tree eternally…
To be is, to be, of the nature of life’s tree,
not to be, is to be, of thine own ciestrine…
Selah!
I stood amidst the maddening crowds
drowned in cries of disarray....
Something about this gentle captive
Encouraged me to stay.
Through the crimson rivets flowing
his eyes they pulsed with love.
And through the swarming sea of fists
His gaze was cast above.
They kicked him down, with every lunge
a vicious spite fuelled taunt...
They marched their prey atop the hill
to torture kill and flaunt.
I braved the writhing mass of spite
as i was in his debt i felt.
I shuddered at his broken form
every open wound and welt.
His mouth grimaced in sheer torment
as nails were driven to his wrists.
Blood thickened on the sun scorched sand
trickling from his tight clenched fists.
They mounted him on the cross
As he was raised for all to see.
Anger toiled deep in my heart
as the high priests howled in glee.
All silenced by his final cry
his broken chords in lamentation.
He wailed unto the heavenly Father
The God of our creation....
Father God forgive them.. for they know not
what they do ...
Love was spilt from the beams that bore
The man so pure ... so true ..
And as he hung his deadening glare
which faded in affection..
Death had lost its mighty sting
as he awaited resurrection.
It was God in Christ who reconciled
a darkened world without truth.
His Lamb slain, so meek and mild
was resurrected as the ultimate proof.
We are turned from darkness unto the Light;
when we come to receive that truth,
we live the desire to do that which is right,
our changed lives are the ultimate proof.
Once lost and now a world to gain,
we reach this one soul at a time.
Seeking to lift them from places of pain;
to not do this would be the ultimate crime.
Douglas L. Ace
Scriptures declare that believers be true
to be faithful to Christ always in His way
being not unequally yoked to unbelievers
obeying God's word stand fast they would stay
Righteousness can't compare with lawlessness
it's totally opposite having nothing in common
just like back and white so colourfully distinct
remember your place not to be forgotten
A believers fellowship needs are akin
to those of similar likened taste
so that unity blends uniquely together
making your pilgrimage have no waste
The sweet communion of believers faith
be full of Christ's abundant light
giving no room for any darkness
making fellowship such precious sight
Believers need be equally yoked
filled with Christ's love for each one
enticing others of what's true love
be separate unto Christ God's son
(Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,
“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”)
2 Corinthians 6: 14-18 (ESV)
nameless hero’s sleep
carrying allegiance
to eternal graves
a debt we owe
to preserve their strife
lest they died in vain

I look unto Christ, faith’s Author so sure
Redeemer of my soul by His great grace
Granting me everlasting life’s treasure
As His heir blessed by His divine embrace.
While running along spiritual track
I look unto Christ, faith’s Author so sure
Knowing that in Him, I will never lack
Since sufficient supply He does assure.
Against rigors of stewardship pressure
My steps keep pursuing paths He had set
I look unto Christ, faith’s Author so sure
While I lay aside sin-weights that beset.
Trekking toward jubilant victory
My heart delights in the Saviour’s pleasure
Worshipping, exalting His name’s glory
I look unto Christ*, faith’s Author so sure.
*Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…

“My soul is among lions; I lie among the sons of men who are set on fire....”
Dramatica; expect the worst and hope for the best is what some say!?
In life and breath and love and death; portents ~
Stopping in front of the Azteca's theatre; admiring the lovely mannequin girl
Adorned as a communal daughter with long flowing hair and beads of many colours
Sitting amid the tickets booth draped aneath cobwebs smiling and speaking
Unto my spirit in hues of yesteryears arrays; these pantheon coronations?!
Red double doors with circular windows trimmed in black; conversing
An entrance to cross through its beckoning; a schizophrenic passing by again....

....“A Portal Unto The Sun` *
I was in a funk,
In a state of debunk
In a state of despair
Depressed and hollowed out
All I could do is just shout
Help me
Help me
Help me Lord God, Help me out
And
In my desperation I prayed,
And this is what God said
My son, my daughter Listen to the Lord listen
He (I) will save you
From yourselves and the wilderness
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.
Hallelujah
I will listen
For on the double
I will save you from all your troubles
And the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles.
Results in rash or extreme behavior.
I will come down and save you
"Having lost all hope."
I will allow you to float
Just you and I, walking out on water
In times of trouble I’ll be there on the double
If you are desperate for food,
In the means you are starving,
I will provide you supper and settle all your cravings I will bless you forgive you in your misbehaving
a desperate situation
I was in a funk,
In a state of debunk
In a state of despair
Depressed and hollowed out
All I could do is just shout
Help me
Help me
Help me Lord God, Help me out
And...
In my desperation I prayed,
And this is what God said
My son, my daughter Listen to the Lord listen
He (I) will save you
From yourselves and the wilderness
I will listen For on the double
I will save you from all your troubles
and the LORD listened; he saved me from all my troubles.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.
In my desperation I prayed, and the LORD listened;
He saved me from all my troubles.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
Psalm 34:6 NLT
Sea of embers, setting sun
Hues of red and blue and plum
Kingdoms of clouds away up high
Never touched, true paradise.
Past horizons, futures ahead
Dusk has come, night's what's next
Moonlit night, I'll see you soon
Close my eyes, I'll dream of you
Witching hour come at last
Eyes in shadows, go, run fast
Burn a candle, turn on lights
Demons can be quite the fright
Birds start to sing, dawn has come
You can't quite see the rising sun
Engines rumble, stomachs grumble
Falling out of bed and tumble
Coffee brewed, toil trouble
Another day, another struggle

Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You…
I have many times read in the Bible, “the golden rule.”
“Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you!”
I often wonder if many people
really take this to heart.
This is where Christ’ love in action really starts!
Just think if we treat others the way
we want to be treated.
Many relations would certainly
be healed and completed!!
If we were to speak kindness the way
we want to receive it.
Others would see Christ’ love in us…
And would believe it!
If we were serious about seeking
a Godly way of living.
We’d see much more of Christ’
love and forgiving!
The challenge is to simply do what
our Lord is wishin
Applying “the golden rule”
must be our mission!
Thanks be to God for the way
he treats us all the same!
May we humbly serve others
in Christ’ name!
Giving to others the way we want to
receive must be our goal…
If we’re going to receive the richness
of Christ in our soul!
By Jim Pemberton
Let the evils of the day suffice to themselves,
Let not the dark descend to deeper depths.
Let our better angels draw their subtle breaths,
To softly sing of virtue 'round our souls' deep wells
As the nightfrost bears the spectral knells
From distant, dreaming, timeworn towers
Slowly marking magical hours,
Casting secret shadowspells.
Let slip our barges on the sea of dreams,
Above those deeps where memory sleeps.
Smooth down the furrowed, careworn brow
As our ship above soft wavelets streams,
Unheedful of the kelpy deeps
Beneath the brightness we call Now.
