Krysti's lovely poem on prayer reminded me of one I had written a few years ago. And so now I dust it off nad post it again When I Fall to My Knees When I fall to my knees When I’m down on the floor I feel higher, much higher Than ever before When I fall to my knees With my face to the ground He raises my eyes To the light of His crown When I whisper a prayer I am shouting His praise When I lower my eyes It’s my heart that I raise When I humbly bow It’s more noble a pose Than the regal demeanor of the time honored rose When I’m with Him in prayer With the bitterest of fears What seeps out from my eyes Is the sweetest of tears With shades of humility Drawn on my face When I stoop to His feet There’s no loftier place When I fall to my knees I am rising above All the scorn of the earth To His heavenly Love Elizabeth Santos |

When I fall to my knees I am rising above All the scorn of the earth To His heavenly Love~ Beautiful words.. thank you so for dusting this off, but I'm sure even with the dust it would still be a beautiful poem. Krysti ~fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me~ |

Elizabeth, I'm glad that Krysti's poem inspired you to bring your poem back up for us to read today. I thought that it was a beautifully written poem and I thought that it showed some lovely examples that God's ways are certainly not man's ways. In one’s natural thinking or in one’s thinking in terms of how things work in their flesh, who would have thought as your poem brings to light... quote: …only in The Spirit could this be true and only by the influence (as you mentioned in an earlier poem of yours) of The Spirit could one write a poem like this one. Again, Beautiful, Beautiful, God bless you, and I’ve really been enjoying reading your poems. -Bob |
