Long Time No Write...

Ok, I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to post, anyway ok, I still don't have much time so I'm going to post a piece of poetry I wrote for school.


The Woes of Insolence


O Lord, once praised as Giver of all life,
The Lord of all that lives in land or sea,
The one who molded Adam and Eve his wife,
Former of the stars that shine so brightly.

Praise to the One who gives the blind their sight,
Praise to the God who opens deaf men’s ears,
Praise Light of Lights, disperser of the night,
Praise Love, who swallows up our deepest fears.

You gave us life and ransomed us from hell.
O Breath of Life You placed us on this earth.
O Lord, You seek our body, mind, and soul,
A small gift since you’ve been with us since birth.

Lost, lost, O sense of faith once held so dear,
Where once you made your home now doubt abides,
Once peace and hope and love and joy so near,
Now pride and fear and sin consume men’s hearts.

Now children that you loved, O Great Helper,
By offering your life upon a tree,
You saved them from the pit of all despair,
How can they draw their love and faith from thee?

Upon his own power and might man’s leaned.
Man has removed all trust and faith from thee.
Instead of God, humanity has placed,
Their pride and hubris for the world to see.

O man of clay aspiring to be God,
All Babel-like your deeds cry out your part.
Your haughty eyes stare down the eyes of God.
Pride’s whistling spear cuts air to pierce the heart.

Time’s hallway strut by arrogance and pride,
As judgment’s chariot rides at steady pace.
God’s righteous plan shall never be denied.
The Lord demands account before His face.

O Lord save us from sin that we create,
By placing our ambitions above all.
You called humanity degenerate.
With loving arms you summon big and small.

The still, small voice cries out to deaf men’s ears.
The beacon light from Calvary’s hill still shines.
Hope breathes beyond the veil of sinner’s tears.
Obedient hearts in God their peace do find.

God offers his forgiveness for our sin.
He will redeem man from the pit of hell.
The Lord brings peace and comfort to all men.
He is the Lord and Holy one of all.

Rise up, O men, and serve your Sovereign All!
Your faith sustains all men and brings true light.
Rise to the charge and heed your Master’s call.
Bring light and truth and faith in time of night.
