Forward-Thinking
July 30, 2018
It’s Jesus more than anything keeps me looking Forwards, stands me lightsomeness of potent hopes No dope from politicians, rock musicians means A jot at all, nor does the common road Of acquisitions pep me, prop me, not a nanobit
Along the way I know I have the common journey
Yet to show and undergo
Where no hot news or skilful views of scion or in
Season sorts the outcome; I am man as other men,
And women, human, fragile, greatly flawed
My minus points are also scored against this present hope
Of Grace, they take away from heavenwards that
Journey I shall go
But let sufficient, necessary, Jesus act and love
I do believe might shore me over to a better side
Which is not my own will, no, but is Yours
Decides me, makes me forward-reaching takes me out
Each day religiously to tactual reach and go
In what I can, and shine a light, as much
I may of it, in a world where darkness much-
Preferred the stuff of it
And no-one listens, hears, but that God calls
To realise the adverse troubled prayer asking entry
All bearing come unstrung
Ties rearrangements working seams and knitting up
Those troubles not so much resolving as by
Relegation dumping into context minimal against
The brilliant shower of realised total news afresh
As ever in this day as was when preached forever
Peripatetic once on shores of Galilee
On Jordan, Bethlehem, in Idumea fresh
As that one only One who preaches everlasting
Unchanging as the bedrock of His promise
Thus all things, all moves mutable, in bands
Locked tight, must pass until his Kingdom ushers
Pushes in the solid form of life where ever things
Without decay, corruption, chance of interference
Save out a space and tribulation undergoes, gets,
Liberation; and the nations do good honour, service
Adoration; humble as His Crown
