Perfect Love




It started with a couplet
quiet easy to direct
but blossomed into something else
beyond my intellect.

I am only one,
I ask, "and what can one girl can do"?
You fed thousands fish and loaves
but only had a few, right?

You healed the sick and dying
saying "greater shall you do"
But I'm only human, Jesus,
so how can that be true?

And then you say you are 'I AM',
I AM alive in you.
And I say "OK, Good enough~
the Truth will have to do".

So how about we just keep in touch
if you're that close, sweet Lord
It won't take long to reach you
and that's a call I can afford.

Very clever my little Gee
you're starting out just fine
and when the need is there
just speak the water into wine.

What?

Heal sick and broken hearted
lead a soul out of the flame
It's not your job to worry how
just do it in my Name.

Do not worry how you look
or what you're gonna say
just be yourself and let me be
the Light that shines the way.

Jesus was a real man
the books will verify
at 33 they nailed him
to a chunk of wood to die

And to be sure that he was dead
hanging naked on a cross
they speared him though, and left him there
my Jewish carpenter boss.

And not a word was written
that He would not fulfill
the scene was painted vividly
before the making of the hill.

That all men could be redeemed that is
bought back with His own blood
we can not pay the price for sin
but he freed us by His Love.

Written long before his birth
thier KING would rise day 3
and so it was, and so it is
that I AM lives in me.

And to many this may seem absurd
but this is not a game
I am aware of the price He paid
and the power of His Name.

I have no stake in religion
there is nothing there for me
I will follow Christ alone
His Love has set me free.

And though I am just one girl
and crazy into rhyming
In prayer I find my comfort
and I trust him with the timimg

I loved it. I don't know how you managed to mix reverence, faith and humor but you did and it brought warmth to the heart and a chuckle to the throat.

LGS- Thank you. I guess Jesus laughed too. Laughed until he cried, laughed until died...and then laughed again.
