 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

I thank God to whom I serve,

With sound mind and clear conscience;

And confidence for the nerve,

For proclaiming in defense.

 

Remembering in my prayers,

As I remember your tears;

Toil and hardship that shares,

For causing all of your fears.

 

I long for the day to see,

So that I may fill with joy;

And be eternally be,

The happiness to employ.

 

I know your faith is sincere,

A faith dwelt in your mother;

A faith you cherish so dear,

Surpassing by no other.

 

Rekindle and fan the flame,

That was a gift from the Lord;

For going out and proclaim,

And remain in one accord.

 

Allow God to lay His hands,

Upon your head to anoint;

And obeying His commands,

With the duties to appoint.

 

For God gave us a spirit,

Not of fear rather of love;

And power to inherit,

Salvation from up above.

 

Be not shamed to testify,

About our Lord and Savior;

Suffering to purify,

Blessing in giving favor.

 

He saved us for His calling,

Not for deeds that we have done;

Rather stop us from falling,

By sacrificing His Son.

 

For His purpose and His grace,

God has given Jesus Christ;

Being able to embrace,

Before He was sacrificed.

 

He broke the power of death,

Giving immortality;

With life after last breath,

Eternal reality.
