We Must Tell the World

If GOD You are a GOD of Love
Who sends Your angels from above
Encompassing our hearts with boldness.

If GOD You are a GOD of Peace
Who causes all our wars to cease
And takes away our pain and coldness.

If GOD You are the King of kings,
If GOD You are the Joy songs bring,
If GOD You made above all things
For us to share in Glory ...

Then we must tell the World the GOD You are.

If GOD You are a GOD of Light
Who shines throughout our darkest night
Enlightening our lives with wholeness.

If GOD You are a GOD of Grace
Who makes a smile upon each face
And fills our empty souls with fullness.

If GOD You are the King of kings,
If GOD You are the Joy songs bring,
If GOD You made above all things
For us to share in Glory ...

Then we must tell the World the GOD You are.

Without the experiance of love where would we be? We would have no memories to cherish.
With love it brings hurt with hurt bittersweet memories.

I particularly liked the wording here:

"If GOD You are a GOD of Love"

that, followed by the repetitive use of "If GOD", was, I thought a clever tool to carry the reader's subjective mind to the idea of a 'checklist'--I enjoyed that much.

Beautiful thoughts, emphasized by intelligent concept!

Serenity,

You found me out!  Actually, I was demonstrating the concept of "critical thinking" here that I believe was first introduced by Aristotle ....  I presented several premises that supported a single conclusion.  Anyway, it all makes for a pretty good argument. Oh, thank you for noticing an "intellegent concept" and for your comments.  It was very nice to see your name here in reply to my post. Thanks again and GOD bless you.

Noah,

You must know that I Love your replies .... Always, and I mean ... Always!  They are so very very uplifting to me.  I look forward to seeing your name and what positive reply you might have for me.  I just want you to know that YOU are a blessing sent from GOD.  GOD bless you.

Denise,

Thank you for stopping in and for your kind remarks.  Oh, if we might all be so "Overflowing" in GOD's sweet Love as you have associated my poem.  What a wonderful comment.  Thank you again.

Cheryl,

The pleasure is all mine.  No, really...  Because, GOD gives me the opportunity to read these poems first before I share them with you.  And what a great idea ... but I think GOD has taken it a small step further than a billboard.  I think His presence is evidenced on all the faces of those that He has demonstrated His pesence upon in their lives.  My friend, every time we step out into the public eye,  the World is seeing it.  Amen.

-Bob

Bravo, Bob: And the very best proclamation of His Love is what we give back to the world, in our actions and our Love! Hugs, Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Say, Bob, this is wonderful!

Might want to add a couple of strophes, though:

If GOD You are a God of Life,
...

and

If GOD You are a God of Purity.
...

Just a thought.

If GOD you are a GOD of Life
Who chose us each to conquer strife
Encouraging our Trust through sorrow.

If GOD you are a GOD who's Pure
Who helps us through each day endure
And gives us Hope for each tomorrow.

If GOD You are the King of kings,
If GOD You are the Joy songs bring,
If GOD You made above all things
For us to share in Glory ...

Then we must tell the World the GOD You are.

Ellie,

Thank you for your reply.  As you know, we can show Love to the World in so many many different ways.  Because writing poetry is so dear to my heart,  I certainly feel a certain Love each time you or anyone else reads a poem that I have written and takes the time to reply.  For being so faithful to reply over and over again, I just want to say with a big loving smile... " Thank You my Friend, Thank you!"

-Bob
