Sin entered the world, their nakedness now hidden.
God said that blood was the sacrifice for sin,
But Cain brought him veggies and therefor couldn’t win.
God said repent for the sin of your city.
Find ten who love me and I’ll show you all pity.
Turn from your evil and the sins of the flesh,
They turned to the darkness and with God would not mesh.
God said to Samson to not cut his hair.
I have given you strength and its hidden up there.
But lust of the flesh turned his eyes from his God,
He ended up blind and beaten with a rod.
God said of David, a man after my heart.
With the playing of music he had a good start.
He killed a great giant and led many strong men,
But the whispers of sin made his morals to bend.
Christ said to Peter, you will deny Me thrice.
I have given you Truth but you cowered like mice.
You could hear my strong voice but fear took control.
Through humbled forgiveness you are once again whole.
God says to us to just come unto Me.
Surender yourself if you want to be free.
But most will hear Satan as he bids them to come,
Then follow in darkness like the blind and the dumb.
So what do you hear when words have been spoken?
Do you really hear here, and step up for a token?
And then walk away not knowing what’s said,
And sacrifice lies for the Truth in its stead.
Please open your ears and focus your thought,
So when God is speaking it is not all for naught.
If you hear that for sin you will not have to pay,
When standing in judgement He’ll say “What’d You Say?”

I'm so not a poet. I loved the line denied him thrice and cowered like mice! May God bless you as you write for him! Ruth
