Poetry: A New Life

A NEW LIFE

Your scriptures are so wonderful.

They energize my soul.

I love to read the stories

Of the patriarchs of old.


And also of the women

Who were prominent in Christ.

Who prayed and gave in faithfulness.

No fleshly guile or strife.


But most of all the thing I love

Is what your Word doth do.

It changes all the heart of me,

Transforms and makes me new.


For through the daily cleansing Word

I'm changed to be like you.

The Word restructures all of me.

I'm living life brand new.
