Dicen… (They Say)
The following poem (In Spanish) was written by my good friend Pastor Angel Nava from La Paz, Mexico, written during times of seeking the Lord as his world was rocked and shaken by Jesus. It is the result of deep internal struggles between truth and his experience, theology and presence, where in the midst […]
Aaron’s Poem: “The Whisper of the Rain”
The smooth clear rain,
Tapping on the road,
The nice clean rain,
Running down the lane,
If you want to know,
It goes down the drain.
Aaron Baw - Age 7 - (c) 2005
A Day Like Any Other
T’was a day like any other,
Divine light shone in my heart.
T’was the will of our Heavenly Father,
My foolish plans to pull apart.
For with a Love I could not understand,
Grace rescued this poor wretch.
With a stretched-out, merciful hand,
A long-lost soul did He fetch.
He lifted me up from the miry clay,
My sin-laden heart to clean.
Translated He me […]
I Cherish A Treasure.
Thank you for loving and holding me near,
Life with you is so precious, my dear.
My love for you each day does rise,
It only takes a look from those dazzling green eyes.
Our home is a nest of love, life and toys,
Within it our treasure, God’s gift of two boys.
They will indeed grow,
In our bond of True […]
If only I would….
If only I would behold, as in a glass
Your plan and your purpose coming to pass
If only I would catch a glimpse of Thee
My soul to take captive in bonds to be
If only I would feel the Highest’s embrace
My heart to melt in moments of Grace
If only I would answer this worthy call
An ideal so […]
Israel
Love and hate - two worlds apart,
This jewel in the crown of an imperial heart.
From the waves of the Med. This land doth rise,
Promising peace within the reach of one’s eyes.
But instead of the joy of a biblical dawning,
One has to witness the death and the mourning.
Oh! Would man only yield his prideful heart,
To have […]
The Cry in the Way
This world will try to move me
With promise of riches, fame and wealth
My flesh will try to woo me
With lures of pleasures, flattering stealth
For long ago in a distant land
Your blood was shed for me
Though deliverance was in your hand
A redeemer you chose to be
Consume me Lord, Possess my reins
That I may live for Thee
May […]
The Old Man
A lonely sad face
As he sits in his place;
The years in his face are showing,
For in his eyes no hope is glowing.
One thing you perceive
From his impressive complexion,
Is the remarkable aura
Of thought and reflection.
The wrinkles in his skin
Are evidence of the time he has been;
For when he thinks he boosts his presence,
To me he portrays […]
The Poet…. (and his poetry).
One of my passions has always been poetry. I see this same trait in some of my Godly heroes.
King David, for example, was a pretty cool guy – he had the heart of a conquering warrior – and yet he was also a deeply emotional, sensitive and artistic poet whom the scriptures call “The […]
