Atonement

ATONEMENT



Rebellious and unwilling to be rescued
You saved us
You gave us
Life, hope and love

Reaching us with stretched arms
Pierced side
Grieving heart
Bleeding brows

Displayed so all men may see
Love unafraid to die
Hope beyond this life
Glory in Suffering

Captured, our hearts raptured by love
Not by law
But your love
Beaten, battered and butchered
To this cross shall all men come

In gross darkness thee we saw
Where on the tree thou hung
Light brightest shone thee
The Son of God
We bless thee

Mournful mourning for sinners’ plight
No hammer or nails
No spit or whip
Dravest tears out the saviour’s eyes
Not stones and screams to
“Crucify him!”
But the verdict of Condemnation upon all
If this cross He wouldn’t embrace

Sin, righteousness slayed
Death and sorrow’s debt paid
Where nothing else prevailed
Oh! The passion and fierce love that came
That tore our rags away
And broke my chains

All blinded eyes see
The emblem of mercy revealed
Deaf ears listen
To rushing sounds of grace rising within
From the saved and redeemed

The dead shall live again
Sweet fragrance on dumb lips
By the beating, bleeding of my King
Jesus the spotless Lamb of God
By whose stripes the world was healed

DOWNPOUR

Joshua meador rainy windy day Shivering branches scares fleeing birds Waving clothes seeks The cozy corner of a wardrobe Palm trees block against the wind The sky pulls a curtain of blackness Fleeing kids, jumping Josh jams James Litters of rubbish terrified by drops Groaning doors and clapping windows Closing doors closes stalls Noisy roofs and flowing streams Across the street we see a wetting floor Speaking sky yells out thunder Fright and comfort Cool and noise Just another wet day on a suppose Sunday Paul Aremooluwa Copyright Content       2016 Next Poem

PROPHECY ABOUT SIMPLE TRUTH FOR THE LAST DAYS

In your days I shall pour out my truth unrestrained upon your generation. I shall make mysteries scarce as precious metals in your time. My truth shall be communicated with such eloquence as never known in history. My words shall appear with so much simplicity from your lips and from the lips of others. Without spiritual discernment many may not take heed unto it. But the word spoken with simplicity and conveyed not with a force wielded by man or flesh shall burn in the hearts of many. The many that are of a seeking heart who hunger to follow the Lamb everywhere He goes. This is what I have purposed to do in your generation and the door is already opened, press in. But as you rejoice in this, realise that this simple truths shall also bring great persecution, the kind that can only be compared to the time of the apostles of the Lamb. Men shall have no answer to these truths but nonetheless shall resist it altogether and persecute you. These days of simple truths are the days of t...
