Poems of Lighthouse Bob

On Martyr's Hill #247





On Martyr's Hill


I'm climbing up on Martyr's hill
To see the troops advancing still
Upon the clay from which I came
Of many sorrows, guilt and shame
But time has yet revealed her hand
When this was once a blazing land
A land of joy, of peace and myrrh
When every heart was moved and stirred
To dance with songs of God's own grace
And lived and strived in God's embrace
Though sands of time have all erased
The greenery that once was here
The scenery that we held dear
Still calls of Eden, yet I fear
God's flaming sword
that warns,
 
"Stay Clear!"
 

-Lighthouse Bob
