Jesus!

I

 

constantly think of you
with my pen in hand,

and I hear the instrumental        bands
of angels saluting your life,
acknowledging the power
of your sacrifice...

For me,
For them..

and their sounds increase each time
a soul is snatched from hell.

This pen
knows when the bell tolls
as it prophesies to the hope
of the world's calling

for souls to draw near

to understand what it means to fear
God, and I see the rod              shifting...

for man
to lay down verbal-guns and connect
hands

in prayer.

I thank you,
that this pen can decree and declare
to the principalities and powers of the air

establishing
the authority and dominion
that rests inside a soul
that believes

you are the only way to heaven and
that your blood was enough to redeem the world
and that if I shout anything in your name
it shall return to me
 

as  I remember the dove
descending from the sky who
opened our eyes

drenching them in faith, hope
truth and potential,

resurrecting
the essential

components of a life well lived.

This pen,
my pen
carries the testimony of your walk
to the cross...

pleading with those who see it's
dragging proclamation across pages
that you are the answer to every question,

if they'd only believe...
fall to their knees...
and call

your name.
