Hear my plea… consider truth’s earnestness
Bringing to your ear this factual soundness:
I’m Hell --- a prison of endless darkness
Where misery’s gloom prevails in blackness
Due to sufferings, despair, hopelessness
Leaving the guilty in their sins’ fierceness.
Listen to my voice from this dark juncture
Echoing warning midst urgent posture:
I’m Hell --- a place of eternal torture
With restlessness’ angst and despair-puncture
Sealing the faithless in their doomed future
Midst cruel hatred’s defiant gesture.
Acknowledge my vocal predicament
Loudly clear despite painful sentiment:
I’m Hell --- a cell of everlasting torment
Expressing death's wailing every moment
As sorrows, anguish, woe wildly lament
With constant gnashing of teeth engagement.
Consider my call from this space, unlit
Since radiance of Scriptures does not quit:
I’m Hell --- a dungeon where there’s no exit
And each one slides toward bottomless pit
Struggling to reach foot stool summit
Yet never to taste freedom’s air a bit.
Neglect not my admonition’s love-guides
Which one in his self-righteousness derides:
I’m Hell --- lake of fire* where God’s wrath abides
Unreached by His mercy, while His grace hides
There, worms die not, with pleas’ screams at all sides
Along unheard prayers … deserving chides.
I welcome you in my darkest manner
When you flee from the perfect Pardoner:
I’m Hell ---waiting each one who’s pride-winner
Bearing “You’re forever condemned” banner
Verdict to the claim, “I’m not a sinner”
Rejecting grace midst selfishness’ dinner.
Decide now… from my drowning blackness, flee
Choose life; against darkness’ grip and be free:
I’m Hell *--- with my gruesomeness you can see
Trust Christ the Saviour and you can miss me
Have faith in Him Who died at Calvary
Resurrected to bring you Heaven’s glory.
*Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

HEART THAT WAITS FOR GOD TO COME INTO OUR CAMP

For us to do our part and Christian’s role-function.

For us to follow His direction’s certainty.

Despite our infirmity that hinders our faithfulness---
Only He can help us to be dependent on His kindness
For us to continue in His work with earnestness.
Our heart waits for God to come into our camp through His grace
Despite our iniquities that hamper progress of our Christian race---
Only He can help us to be repentant from sinfulness of pride-trace
For us to serve Him well along His truth’s brace.
Our heart waits for God to come into our camp through His courage
Despite our fears that obstruct our focus we cannot manage---

For us to abide in Him always, overcoming carnal damage.

Here I am ready to obey You, God,
The Supreme Commander Who gave His marching order…
This mandate He imperatively expressed in Matthew 28:18-20
Of the Holy Scriptures:
“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
Baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
And of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
Even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
Here am I committed to live for You, my Lord by Your grace
To give my utmost part and best in fulfilling the Great Commission
May I do so with earnestness…
Forbid me to make a mere show of sincerity
In the guise of holiness, yet deceiving…
Forgive my guilty conscience, afflicted with shame’s pangs
As I seek Your kingdom first
Investing in Your business of righteousness.
Here is my heart, devoted to involve in Your work, my Master
Help me with Your Holy Ghost’s influence…
Please restrain me in exhibiting arrogant progress
In the power of my flesh…
Enable me to hide in Your might and surrender to Your leading
Conquering pride’s insolence
I need you so I can perform with faith
Sharing Your Gospel of salvation-security.
Here is my all, grateful to You, my Creator for Your granted privilege
To labour for Your Great Commission’s endeavor…
I accept Your assignment willingly, assured by Your compassion’s fire
To win souls, teach biblically, minister to others thru Your mercy
While walking with You, praying in the Spirit
Toward Your granted triumph with joy and peace…
Keep me in Your care, since without You, I am nothing
And that I can do all things thru You, my Strength*!
*Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

*1Corinthians 2:1 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.
1Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power
Colossians 4:6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Titus 2:8 Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
Following the silver moonbeam in dreamy nights,
I reached the sunburst dawns,
painting the sky with joy defined,
saw the dew drops glow on meadows mellow.
That’s when I found the patina of your love shine.
When the falling sky melted the clouds of dismay
my abode in the surge of flood lay abandoned.
Forlorn in the storm I lost my course to stray,
drifted to the hearts of those who gave me love
as an anchor to be owned and belong.
My walk together with you in the garden path
ended at the edge of the scarlet sunset.
Its spectrum made the fervent music in our hearts,
the melody resonated in our essence
with the rhythm of lingering emotion,
creating the mesmeric fountain of love for me.
In the twilight hour the distant bell tolls,
I can’t perceive where, but know who calls.
The candle has melted fast to the end mark,
the shredded shadows of the frozen feelings lurk
in the inert mind getting starkly petrified in the dark.
My time now flows to the fading past still,
as its invisible cold grip suffocates my last breath.
Inundated by the deluge of the imminent death,
the cascades of thought aren’t lost in disarray,
for the craving clumps of passion cling till the end
to the edifice of undying memory
as splinters of longing in emotive depth
where the unstinted love you all gave me lie.
They now rise as sphinx to ask me
if I’ve repaid the debts of love I owe.
I confess I might have failed to keep promises,
but tried to return with equal earnestness
what I got from you, maybe in a silent way.
Looking back I see the snapshots of contentment,
resplendent in the benevolent glow of God’s grace,
lighting now the pathway of my last journey.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are ushered to seek His face
While abiding in His truth and grace
Since He secures us upon His compassion-brace
Despite attacking fears, smeared with doubts’ trace.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are led to His light
While resolved to do what is scripturally right
Since He guides with His wisdom’s might
Despite struggles against sins’ blight.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are sanctified toward holiness
While allowing Him to check our motives along standards of biblical godliness
Since He searches our sincerity’s earnestness
Despite hypocrisy lurking in the guise of glory-seeking meekness.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are taught to offer our thanksgiving
While praising Him for blessings we are receiving
Since He delights in our devoted loving
Despite hardships midst our commitment-striving.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are encouraged to render our best
While pleasing Him with faith’s fullest
Since He deserves our utmost finest
Despite pressures of every test.
In our spirited worship for the Lord, we are upheld by His mercy
While choosing to cleave to Him with fervency
For He supplies us well by His contentment sufficiency
Despite scarcity’s frequency.
In our spirited worship* for the Lord, we are enabled by His partnership
While fulfilling entrusted tasks in our stewardship
For He cheers us around His sweet fellowship
Despite conflicts in human carnal relationship.
*John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
