Called to Be a Christian Poet

John 17:14-19

I profess His Word even though despised,
Not being of this world or been fantasized;
My prayer is that He not take them away,
But shielded from evil each and every day.

They are not any more of this world than I,
Make them Holy by the Word having no lie;
For the Word of God is the truth and light,
That will bring to life some hidden insight.

Even though as a messenger in this world,
I write poetically as His plan be unfurled;
And for Him I shall continue righteously,
Until all are truly holy I write diligently.

Our days are number on this planet earth,
Wondering exactly about our true worth;
The reason we are intended in this place,
Being a productive part of the human race.

Everyone has been tasked under His plan,
In doing something like no one else can:
The Word of God opened my eyes to see,
A Christian poet that I was called to be.
