Jehovah

A poem about my feeling about God. Some people may not like, because it's my own christian opinions.Read & review, whatever you think. Leave comment please :)


Stand alone, stand together,

Fire, fire, burning brightly,

Dove, oh sweet spirit,

Surround, envelop, and enfold my heart.

Shadows, temptations,

Spin sweet, sugary nets,

Which stick to my skin,

Torn off, tearing flesh.

Hatred, sharp knives,

Point, pierce and poison

My heart, breaking it slowly.

I burn, I break,

Lying here.

And I chant,

Crying out in the dark,

Singing 'Halleluiah!'

Calling out,

Saying 'I know you're there.'

I feel you, I hear you,

And you hear my heart beating.

-----

People move beyond my vision,

Dark, shadows whisper behind their hands.

Saying, what a fool she must be,

She has no eyes, she cannot see,

That she is talking to herself.

-----

When darkness swirls,

And makes the child weep,

You call me.

Shoshan, Shoshan.

I hear, you know.

Shoshan, Shoshan.

You lead, I follow.

I call for you,

Jehovah, Jehovah.

You listen to me.

Always.

Jehovah, Jehovah.

I pray.

I pray. I pray.

Jehovah, Jehovah.

And you answer my prayers.

Always.

-----

Statues and figures comes to life,

Accuse me, Curse me, Condemn me,

Point clawed fingers,

And scream foully,

Hating me.

Their nets ensnare me,

And I cry out,

Poisoned arrows cut me,

And I become wild,

Furious, full of rage.

Truly, my blood must turn black,

My heart fills with fire.

Sweet, blazing fire.

My soul shrivels,

And I lash out,

Blood on my fingertips.

-----

Then you appear again,

And I am calm.

I cry, and you hold my hand,

Reassuring, and comforting.

I remember,

Being young,

And praying to you and you took away,

All the fears I had,

You held me in my sleep,

And no evil touched my mind.

You are always there, there for me.

You know me; do not forget my name,

Your love restores my soul.

You will never wither,

Will never leave me,

Just as I shall never leave you,

Never stray from your side.

-----

You give me everything,

Everything I could ever wish for.

A home,

A family,

Friends,

Songs for you,

Laughter to light my life,

And my heart is filled with happiness.

-----

God, Jehovah, Lord,

Creator, Maker,

Bringer of light,

You are listening to me, again.

Hell is burning,

But you keep me from the flames.

Father,

Your child is listening.

I want to learn,

I want to obey,

I want to shoulder my cross,

And follow you,

All of my days,

And eternally after.

I want to help and guide,

All those I meet,

It is your will, I know,

That I should not judge those I do not know.

So I will love them,

And, doing so,

I love you as well.

Guide me, teach me,

Show me the path,

That I must take,

So I may, one day, kneel before you,

And raise my voice to sing for you;

-----

Holy, Holy, Holy Father,

Sing praises in His name,

Lord of All, Lord of Creation,

Heaven in the highest

-----

Though it may be dark around,

And it may be the blackest night,

I still sit, and praise your name,

My God, my Saviour, my Lord of light.
