Poetry
(Written by Bob B., 05-10-02)
My peace's not mine,
Prevailing over circumstance;
My wisdom's not mine,
On world's wisdom I'll dance.
My strength's not mine,
Yet I stand against the strong;
Neither righteousness comes from me,
Yet before Him I belong.
He's my prevailing passion,
My very soul's upkeep;
He breaks me, then binds me,
And grants me peaceful sleep.
For the Lord, my Christ,
I live and breathe and stand;
I'll never be forsaken,
He'll always have my hand.
For the Lord, my Righteousness,
The One who knows my heart;
His Spirit always beckons me,
I've become His spiritual art.
Nothing else can quench my thirst,
There is no other name for me;
Jesus, more than Savior or the Lord,
Is forever my new identity.
May my lips praise the Lord,
May my deeds say, "Thank You."
May my heart always rejoice,
Since Yours is always true.
You have sought me, You have found me,
Forever to be kept,
For by Your choice and by Your will,
Upon sweet life, death o'er You swept.
You have sought me, and have found me,
Cause e'er do You live;
Death found You, yet lost You,
Victory to You from the Father give.
Now Your victory's mine,
Since You forgive-to give;
Beyond this earth and all time,
Before You, Jesus, I will live.
So my heart does wait,
For the sweetest of consummations;
To say, "Here comes my Christ,
The Desire of all Nations!"
