Poetry
Pastor winds down the sermon;
Shepherd feeding his sheep.
My eyes are fixed upon the cross,
Trying so hard not to sleep.
Now my mind beings to wander
Down paths close to dreams,
Until shadows take on substance
And nothing’s what it seems.
The cross begins to grow in size
Rough bark takes on a sheen
Wood becomes burnished steel
With point both stout and keen.
Transformed now to mighty sword,
It begins to twist and sway.
‘Till I realize with great alarm
Its shaft now points my way.
Fear causes my soul to tremble
As closer it draws to me,
And mind argues with spirit
To turn aside and flee.
The sword of His truth is sharpened,
To pierce deep into the soul.
Ending sin by the death of man,
He lives to make me whole.
Death yields to life eternal,
As I must yield to Him,
Kneeling before the turning sword
That He might enter in.
Cross of the blessed Redeemer
Cut deep into my heart
Write His name upon my soul
And never more depart.
