The Gospel Farmer

Isaiah 61:1 & 2

The Spirit of our Lord has come upon me,
For He anointed me to preach with poetry;
Wishing good tidings to all who are meek,
And to those for salvation that they seek;
He has sent me to comfort the sorrowful,
Proclaim liberty to captives who are sinful;
Freeing prisoners that are tempted by lust,
Show them the way of the Lord who is just;
Proclaim it an acceptable year of the Lord,
A day of vengeance by God as our reward.
The Lord told me as this was a great time,
Using my hidden talent of making it rhyme;
Proclaim the His Word to those who need,
As a farmer in spreading the Gospel seed;
For our God is looking for some lost souls,
That had been swallowed up by sinful holes;
Able to turn their lives completely around,
So in their next life will be Heaven bound;
God wants to bless you as no one else can,
Ensure that you fit into His ultimate plan.
