Latest Poem: God...

Before there was earth
There was you
Before there was light
You shone in the darkness
Before there was life
We were written in your book
The Creator of creators
You...

With intricate detail
The universe designed
With infinite patience
You wait for mankind's response
With an unending love
You reach out to your creation
The Definition of Love
You...

An image of you
We advance in this world
A copy of you
We create fascinatingly
The fragrance of you
As we love, smile and cry
The object of your affection
Us...

You've given us your creation
to rule and live in and enjoy
You've given us your son
who proved his love in death
You've given us your spirit
who raises us the same way he rose the son
A father,friend,comforter,saviour
God...

We have removed you
After all did man not climb the moon?
We have replaced you
My agenda, romance, ideas too important
We have abandoned you
Of what use is a 2000 year old book
Creation denied their creator
You...

Open the eyes of our heart
So we can see your glory again
Speak to the ears of our heart
So we may discern your truth
Soften the hard parts of our heart
In every part may there be room for you
Oh God may we as your people return to you
Return...

You said that if we'd return to you
In you the fatherless will find compassion
If we do not worship what our hands have made
You will heal and love us freely
You say if we will walk in your ways
To us you'd be like dew
The Lord,gracious and compassionate
Slow to anger and abounding in love
God...
