Book of Handwritten Poetry in Goodwill
You know those blank books you can buy to use as a journal or whatever? I was in Goodwill looking for an attractive lamp and I browsed the book section. It must have been the Lord leading me there, because I discovered a book of handwritten poetry. To say that the poems are inspired is just not giving them proper credit. I would like to share a few of them with the congregation here.
On the front cover, it has a name and a date of birth that makes this poet about 17 years old. I can't for the life of me figure out why someone would get rid of these. Anyway, the first one is called "God's Love."
GOD'S LOVE
God's love is so wonderful
It means the world to me
His love is always touching
And always tenderly
He loves me with His Bible
It is a two edged sword
There is really nothing like
Being loved by the Lord.
The next one is called "God's Promises."
GOD'S PROMISES
God's promises are so amazing
They mean a lot to me
He promises to be faithful
And I've found He's that to thee.
He promises to take me
To His home on high
I know that this is true because
On His promises I rely.
Yet another is this one, a unique verse called "God's Jesus."
GOD'S JESUS
God's Jesus is so wonderful
He means the world to me
Jesus died on Cavalry to set my spirit free
His Father up in Heaven sent him down to earth
And proved that there can be such thing
As a virgin birth
His purpose was to save us from our lives of sin and woe
God's Jesus did all that and more and now I love Him so.
GOD'S ANGELS
God's angels are so beautiful
They mean so much to me
Their wings are spreading everywhere
To protect God's people like me
They fly from here to over there
And watch over us each day
They hear us when we're crying and they love to hear us pray
An angel told God's mother that she soon would be with child
With love and peace and mercy
It was a mercy mild.
GOD'S MERCY
God's mercy is so merciful
It means so much to me
Without His mercy I'd be doomed
To Hell for eternity
But mercy sent Him to the cross
To die for me that day
And now His merciful blessings
Follow me every step of the way.
GOD'S FACE
God's face is full of grace
He smiles upon me now
I love His face so bountiful
He never lets me down.
When I can't bear to see
All the sin in the world below
I look at God's face and then I'm calm
And blessed while here below.
There are pages more, but I'll share those another time.
