Poetry

---

If by the grace of God am to be a partaker,
Why would one speak evil like a wiseacre?
While trying to give thanks unto the Lord,
For all of the blessings He has outpoured;
Whether you eat or drink whatever you do,
Do in the glory of God to His Word be true;
Do not offend to either the Jew nor Gentile,
Nor the church of God ever try to defile;
In pleasing all men without seeking profit,
Rather a profit in them saved by the Spirit.
My poetry is not of my benefit but of yours,
With hopes that the words a soul restores;
Some may try to ridicule and try to mock,
Thinking that this Christian stuff is crock;
Being full of depression and evil thought,
Unknowing that Satan is causing onslaught;
Persistent as I may so that I will not quit,
Helping others to accept the Holy Spirit;
In all that I do in seeking to glorify God,
Showing benefits for to honor and laud.
