your breeze upon my face your embrace the consistency of a faithful love a positive suspense commence the chase your the only one Im not afraid of on this canvas your paint drops like blood clots my life is your finished touch on stained wood just the thought makes my heart stop patiently you keep what you created in me good you inspire the sunrise on abandoned shores when castaway lost hope finds you in the sunset drowning out the silence even on the ocean floor reminds me of how solitude is where we first met when I return you remind me how love grows each moment you seek to spend is amazing how my eyes look you over at times I don't know but it takes my breath to see you waiting Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 15, 2006, 11:38:18 PM HELD
I want to give you, my entire day, and let my heart lie still embrace the grace you give and feel my well be filled Your timing amazes, enslaving, every aspect of my being my hope spuns growth by grace a sight worth seeing every time, you touch my life, I yearn anxiously for more like the wind upon my face embraced upon the ocean shore On this sand I stand, and hesitate, if my life to you is pleasing shifting faith would seem to make you want to leave me my only constant, ceasing waves, that knock me where I stand Love cannot express the rest felt held within your hand Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 15, 2006, 11:39:46 PM SECOND CHANCE
Instrumental elegance inspired by rhyme makes me dance I turned him down, yet he pursued me, my second chance Hand on the small of my back, stepping forth, He leads I gaze, still amazed, wondering what brings Him back to me Refuted, rebuffed and ignored in the midst of my weakest hour And when I spin He pulls me in this resistant wall-flower The music fades as we sway and peace is all I have left Grace guards my heart, fills my hope, and guides my steps I smile knowing this chase leaves nothing for my heart to contend A consistent adoration that never fails me, that never ends Title: Re: He Moves Me...

Post by: poemofhis on July 21, 2006, 12:12:24 AM I think I know what Love is but I've clouded my own judgment
Too much contemplation in what is should be and what wasn't Analyzing what I gamble and forfeiting my luck in the crap shoot I roll the dice you call my bluff and the joker smiles when I lose Shot calling with an empty hand and no deal is risky business The stakes are high but I take a chance on my ability to win this Its a game of uncertainty where you pay before you drop the slot And you want more in return when pockets scream that's all I've got Being broke in sin-city requires that you give in order just to make it But when I wage mercy and grace please take my heart and break it Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: nChrist on July 21, 2006, 05:28:21 AM Hello PoemOfHis,
You asked someone earlier in the thread about "what they saw", and you haven't gotten an answer yet. SO, I'll tell you what I see. I think that you are a talented writer with some unique skills and style. Nearly everything I read is Christian material, and I would love to see you write some inspirational material for Christians. I am obviously biased, but I think the most beautiful topics in existence are Christian topics. Love In Christ, Tom Proverbs 3:19-20 NASB The LORD by wisdom founded the earth, By understanding He established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up And the skies drip with dew. Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 21, 2006, 07:51:48 PM His word is enough His grace is sufficient
my faith is shaken but His love isnt i dont do want I want to and I do what I dont i say that I will but then usually i wont contemplate the ifs and interrogate the whys then backslide with denies alibis and lies stand firm again and repent without relent break down and weep for lost time spent again making similar promises I havent kept giving him whatever part of me I have left except the times when its something I need then my knees believe while I wait to receive grieve is what he does when I worship self wealth bad habits and whatever else that keeps me from understanding Love with what is what could be sadly what was does my heart contemplate what was lost did I even take a moment to measure the cost I pause in reflection while my mind sits still realizing the selfishness of my own free will Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: nChrist on July 22, 2006, 05:06:18 AM Amen PoemOfHis!
Yes, that's what I was talking about. Very NICE! Love In Christ, Tom Psalms 111:4 NASB He has made His wonders to be remembered; The LORD is gracious and compassionate. Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 22, 2006, 10:14:02 PM I suppose it is the smile upon my face
just now the one that tickled as my eyes lit up butterflies bouncing all over the place as the love I found over flows my cup Past present and future all at once my blessing the perfect setting and time you came to me awaiting only one response that peace happiness and joy be mine Laughing, loving, sharing the same space you look at me as if you know something I don't and even my skeptism is suddenly replaced though they might have left me you won't Skies once gray are softly painted blue and trust surrenders into his hands so sweetly with an embrace meant to join the two and the whisper gently of you complete me Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 23, 2006, 08:21:24 PM When it’s your shoes or your style that people hate
It’s ok to ignore cynicism for materialisms sake I can relate in dealing with laughing and mockery But part of me questions why they don’t see the heart of me Because appearance isn’t the problem I struggle with It’s the self defeating doubt that throws me the hardest hit I’d quit if it wasn’t the only thing I know I’m doing right Giving all I can and all I am trying to please Him with my life It saddens me when I know there’s nothing I could do better Whether they keep on laughing throwing stones or whatever It just makes no sense to me that people can hate what is good Should that be comprehended I would understand it if I could Angry, bitter, hateful and empty are reason enough for dislike But love, faithfulness and forgiveness leave no room for spite If I knew that something inside of me had propensity for change I would hope that which remains would never stay the same The blame I’ll leave to the rejection of affection on the inside Uncertainty tracing the only truth I know where my love abides Besides grieving for not being received I give this struggle to Jesus And pray that I can be still until the pain of my own cross ceases Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: nChrist on July 24, 2006, 09:41:10 AM Good Morning PoemOfHis,
Sister, there are several facts in this life that we should understand and accept. Even the best of mankind fails on a regular basis, and that's why we put all of our faith and trust in one who never fails, never disappoints, and always keeps HIS Promises - JESUS CHRIST, our Lord and Saviour Forever. Regardless of our faults and failures, we are still to love each other as CHRIST loves us. We must remember that we also have faults and failures, so this hopefully isn't a measure of whether we are loved or not. JESUS CHRIST loved us when we were still wallowing in the darkness of sin, but HE forgave us through HIS Blood on the CROSS and made us fit to become inheritors with the Saints in LIGHT. This is wonderful for us to think about, especially in connection with our Commands from JESUS to love each other as HE has already loved us. We are to forgive because HE forgave us. How could we deny forgiveness to someone else when we have been forgiven of all by our Precious Lord and Saviour, JESUS CHRIST? These are the Biblical answers that are SO HARD for us to conform to. In fact, they are so hard that we must have the help of GOD to even try. Sister, the hypocrisy of mankind as Christians and in brick and mortar church buildings hurt and confuse many, but especially the babes in CHRIST and the lost. We must all know that we are at least a portion of the hypocrisy, and there is only ONE who is COMPLETELY TRUE, PERFECT, and HOLY - JESUS CHRIST. This is obviously one of the big reasons why Christians should always be pointing to CHRIST, not a man or themselves. We are fit only in JESUS, and our ONLY righteousness is in JESUS. It's a good and wonderful thing that we are seen IN and THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Any worth or good that we have is only in JESUS CHRIST! There is NO hypocrisy in JESUS CHRIST, so we MUST keep our eyes on HIM. When we assemble or fellowship together, all of the good and LOVELY is from GOD - and all of the bad and UGLY is from mankind who still fails on a regular basis. All we can do is keep trying and pray that GOD will help us. Love In Christ, Tom Psalms 127:1 NASB Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: poemofhis on July 30, 2006, 01:13:12 AM Growing up I watched alcohol destroy my mother and father. This is a poem I wrote in regards to it. It's pretty emotional and might be a little "much" to share but I wanted to so here ya go.
You know my weakness what hurts me deceitfully you provoke and evoke disgust You take what you know I'll come after go ahead, tempt me, if you must Just know I'll never taste you with my lips what you have is not worth swallowing at all but somehow I can't resist the hand you play me you still make me stumble you still make me fall You're my wound needing to be disinfected rejection only makes your manipulation churn Wounded by your hate to forsake me I can take the pain I can let it burn Overwhelming satisfaction makes one thirsty cotton-mouthed with similar sins lust calls I will take back what you took when you raped me I will smash the glass of your walls And when you trickle down my hand spineless sticky .. I'll grab the cloth and wipe off alcohol, you took what I loved, but didn't break me "You lost," soberly I'll whisper soft Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: nChrist on August 02, 2006, 12:54:56 AM Hello PoemOfHis,
This is obviously personal and painful, and you are really the only one who understands other than the GREAT PHYSICIAN, JESUS CHRIST. I partially understand because of 25 years in police work, and I definitely recommend that you talk to JESUS about this. HE can heal your hurt and replace those negative emotions with something that will be positive for you and everyone around you. I know beyond any doubt at all that there are millions dealing with that same hurt. I was just thinking that GOD might one day use you to help many who have these kinds wounds. I will definitely pray for you. Love In Christ, Tom Romans 12:1-2 NASB Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Title: Re: He Moves Me...

He already has. It is positive if you look close enough. ;) Title: Re: He Moves Me... Post by: nChrist on August 05, 2006, 08:24:45 PM Sister,
It makes me very happy to hear this. This life is too short to stay tied to a heavy ball and chain to drag behind us. I know that GOD wants much more for us, and HE will give it to us to fulfill HIS Will and Purpose in us. The LORD'S WORK isn't easy, but it sure does make us happy. The more we yield and do HIS Will, the happier we will be. This is a beautiful truth that nearly all of us must learn over and over again: HIS Will - not our own. I'm double your age and would tell you if I knew how. I'm still learning the hard way, but I'm praying and asking for HIS help more and more. I do know that all of the real joy and happiness is in JESUS. Love In Christ, Tom Psalms 139:9-10 NASB If I take the wings of the dawn, If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, Even there Your hand will lead me, And Your right hand will lay hold of me. |
