Poetry

---

Do I write poems for you or me or Him?
What purpose fuels the passion of my pen?
Are my words all entertainment rhymes,
Pretty little ditties, charming, catchy lines?
My soul desires there be much more to them.

I write to you that you might know Him well,
Seeing more of Him through the truths I tell,
Being built up and growing in His grace,
Encouraged to endure through faith’s great race,
Victorious in Him over death and Hell.

I write for me, a faith declaration--
Jesus Christ is Lord of my salvation—
It’s my testimony that God is true—
To speak out is the least that I can do--
It’s my way of gospel proclamation.

I write to Him my simple poems and songs,
Spirit melodies from a heart that longs
To declare God’s mighty words and deeds,
To worship as His Holy Spirit leads—
Where He leads is where my heart belongs.
