 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

You have been coming to Christ,
The rejected living stone;
Chosen to be sacrificed,
So He can sit on His throne.
 
You have come as living stones,
For a new house being built;
Of the spirit not by bones,
With souls that are free of guilt.
 
Spiritual sacrifices,
That the Father will accept;
Souls not lured to devices,
That the world does intercept.
 
God states He lays the elect,
As precious cornerstones;
And discards the imperfect,
That has complained or bemoans.
 
The one who believes in Him,
Shall not be feeling ashamed;
Rather have spiritual vim,
Letting His Word be proclaimed.
 
This honor belongs to those,
With faith that firmly believe;
Blessing from the Father flows,
In salvation they receive.
 
To those who do not believe,
Are builders that rejected;
Since Satan loves to deceive,
With the words he infected.
 
A poison that people sip,
A rock they find offensive;
A wet floor that they will slip,
Makes you to be defensive.
 
You are the chosen people,
A priesthood for the nation;
So others hear the Gospel
Teaching them of salvation.
 
Once you were on the outside,
But now you are the in crowd;
Show mercy as you abide,
Waiting for Jesus on the cloud.
