Poetry

---

I just want you to know,
The Gospel that I preach;
Just as God did bestow,
To be able to teach.

For I did not receive,
Learning it from a man;
But because I believe,
A revelation plan.

Knowing that you have heard,
The former way of life;
Prophets that gave the Word,
Having toils and strife.

Brutal persecution,
For destroying the church;
Even execution.
Like vultures on their perch.

I had advanced in ways,
Of a secular land;
Travelling through the maze,
As government has planned,

But One set me apart,
And called me by His grace;
To reveal in my heart,
His Son came to embrace.

I did not go to ask,
Advice from any man;
Rather to do the task,
That God had in His plan.

God had revealed His Son,
And able to outreach;
Spreading what He has done,
And possible to teach.

But I am still unknown,
By churches of this world;
Not sure how they condone,
What my work has unfurled.

The one who persecutes,
Will still try to destroy;
But God helps my pursuits,
For glory to enjoy.
