 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

We have treasure in jars of clay,

To show the surpassing power;

Belongs to God to come what may,

And not to us to devour.

 

We are afflicted, but not crushed,

Perplexed, but not forced to despair;

Energy drained, but still not flushed,

But nobody else seems to care.

 

I was struck down, but not destroyed,

Oppressed but never forsaken;

But I cannot become annoyed,

Knowing that I will be taken.

 

For we carry the death of Christ,

He is manifested in me;

Because Jesus was sacrificed,

For all of my iniquity.

 

We who live are always given,

Over to death for Jesus sake;

And will be getting to Heaven,

Enabled to become awake.

 

So, death is at work in us all,

But life is also within you;

Since Christ catches us from the fall,

While we are remaining true.

 

The spirit of faith is the same,

According to what is written;

I believe and speak to proclaim,

Even though having been smitten.

 

Knowing that God who raised the Lord,

Will raise us with Jesus as well;

And it can never be ignored,

To know where we finally dwell.

 

Because it is all for your sake,

Extending grace to more people;

Informing them what is at stake,

Get to know about the Gospel.

 

So, we do not ever lose heart,

Though this shell is wasting away;

We are looking to a fresh start,

The inner self does not decay.
