 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

I write not a new command,

Rather of an old demand;

That you have had from the start,

And engraved into your heart.

 

The old command you have heard,

And is written in the Word;

The new command which is true,

If you let Him bide in you.

 

For darkness passes away,

No longer to be its prey;

Since true light already shines,

As you spread your fruitful vines.

 

You say you are in the light,

Love the Lord all of your might;

Except you hate your brother,

Darkness shrouds on your mother.

 

Someone who loves His brother,

Shines brightly on each other;

Light so you do not stumble,

Attitude will not grumble.

 

To hate you are in the dark,

No matter where you embark;

No insight to make you wise,

Darkness has blinded your eyes.

 

Your sin has been forgiven,

By the Lord up in Heaven;

Your confession did proclaim,

Professing in Jesus name.

 

You have come to know the One,

The Father had sent His Son;

To triumph over evil,

Winning over the devil.

 

You came to know the Father,

Building your faith much further;

Building your strength to be strong,

Child of God you belong.

 

Do not show love for this place,

Man has made it a disgrace;

Anyone who loves these things,

Cannot love what Heaven brings.

 

Lust of the flesh and the eyes,

Brings a pride as a disguise;

Love from God will not sever,

For His will stays forever.
