Grope
3-24-14

The God of patience and consolation
Doth grant you to be likeminded
To read the same book
And to walk the same paths
According to my book here yet binded
Where we can be as brothers
Even if we're not twins
Regarding where we stumble
Upon our own besetting sins
Where these things written aforetime
Are here but for our learning
That through patience and the comfort of the Scripture
We might have hope
By the still and small voice that whispers
Do what is in your hand here and now to cope
For Christ pleased not himself to be made High Priest
As still in the darkness
I feel my way and grope....





Well Studied

O, pardon today, my God, where I go wrong
And be thou with my pen
So I can write this new song
For I will not return with you
Unless you repent and quit ye like men and be strong
These word have pricked me to the heart
Rejected from the beginning and left out
To hide between my walls and to study my doubt
O, pardon today where I fall short
O, justify my wickedness
So that these small words will yet exhort
Where Samuel mourns for Saul
Regretting that he made him king
According to this history
Well studied by he with pen in hand
O, Lord have mercy....





Fertile
3-24-14

Still possessive about my cat
Walking all over my place of study
Treating her like a queen named the Grace of God
Of a Christ still bloody
Moving onto chapter sixteen
According to the Jesse defined as the gift
Being as his lineage upon riverbanks fertile and muddy
As Samuel is sent again to Bethlehem
With a complexion wholesome and ruddy
Knowing not where to go from here
Where there is no middle ground
Where we live in faith or in fear
As your sword hath made many women childless
No longer barren is the womb of which we now speak
O, how long will I mourn in the humbling of myself yet meek....
