Fullness of joy, love and mercy at the foot of his throne
Relinquish every burden, selfish ambition and pride
God sent him for us and for us he suffered and died
Rejoice ever in the Cross for the gift of saving grace
Exalt the humble servant of God with endless praise
Delight in the righteousness our risen Savior imparts
As the Holy Spirit transforms our stony sinful hearts
Let every knee bow before our victorious Lord and King
“Worthy is the Lamb” let tongues of every nation sing
To the name above every name on earth and in heaven!
For God’s glory, Jesus, the Author of our salvation!
Hallelujah! and Amen!
“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 ESV
I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share.
In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified!
