Christian Unity

[rsf]

MY LORD! MY LORD!
They will not listen
Love is all you require
For the sake of remission

You say it so gently
And sometimes say it loud
You even have me say it
And try not be proud

As the LORD first loved us
We must love one another
We both believe in Christ
So aren't I your brother?

It's not about doctrine
It's all about pain
When your brothers are crying
Where is the gain?

Love the LORD above all else
This is the command
Love your brother as yourself
And help him to stand

You're not always right
I'm not always wrong
Can't we be brothers
And sing a new song?

Open your hearts
And I'll open my eyes
Together we'll tear through
This miserable guise

We must love one another
That's what He said
Where is the love
Please say it's not dead

Let's stand in the gap
As the LORD has declared
Let us all come together
No need to be scared

If we love one another
It will be easily seen
They will come from afar
To be part of the team

Christ will be followed
The LORD will be known
Then seeds will be planted
And fields will be sown

My LORD, My LORD
Please help me to show it
The way we're to go
Because I sure ain't a poet

This is great! We should all be brothers and sisters in Christ. No person is perfect and we all will disagree over something. Only God is correct about everything. I love everything but the last line. You are a poet and when God gives the words He can make anyone a great poet.

Thanks Betty I'm glad you like it. Nothing can be perfect when touched by human hands. That's probably why it ended that way. It's completely out of character for me to write anything like this in the first place, but not at all out of charactor for me to smudge something.

Here's the alternate ending:

My LORD, My LORD
May Your will be done
Help us all come together
And follow Your Son!

I know this is much better. It came as easily as the rest of it. So they can't be my thoughts. The other ending was a struggle, so it was definetely mine ;D

[Betty]

I know what you mean. Most of the times when I write poetry the words just come so I know they are not mine. This is a great ending I agree. Keep writing! Just ask God what He wants you to say.
