Poem #17

“A day with God” (#17)

I was walking with the Lord one day;
He was telling me the words to say
To those whom I love the most-
“Hear me, my son, do not boast
of your accomplishments, whatever they are;
For if you do, you commit the same sin as the Morning Star.
Also, when you’re with a girl, be careful and do not lust;
The end result is adultery-you see, even just
A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.
Therefore, guess: is sin acceptable to me? No.
But when you fall into the trap, humble yourself and cry unto me;
I am not a distant Father-I hear your plea.
When the world seems to surround you on all sides, do not be afraid;
My peace can protect your soul from any spiritual raid
From Satan. Trust in Me, and do not doubt-
Satan has already taken his fatal clout.
When sin stains you like scarlet red,
Remember that tears for you I shed.
Do not grieve My heart-but fill it with joy
When you bring my light into the heart of another girl or boy.
So go, spread the words I have said, my son;
Start with your family-then go to everyone.
