Modern Day Psalm. (Poem)

Something is happening, a transformation is in progress. God’s love is redefining my heart. I am affected in a new way by the old things. The planet has been left untouched but my spirit has been altered.

I want humility to teach me, to shape me. I want to know what it’s like to care about someone else more than self. I want to start again, this time I’ll live as the obedient child I so rebelled against to be. I’ll be there as the bride kneeling at the altar ready to face the truth and accept it with open heart and arms.

Cleanse me O’ my God, leave me stainless as I lay prostate on the cold concrete as David did. Forgive my pride, I thought I could do this by myself, I thought I didn’t need you, I thought I was better than most men. I swore I had more to offer the world, but the world isn't looking for the solutions that we need, we only search for answers we want to hear.

The puppet master had a hold of my strings and I was dancing on my way to hell until my feet got tired and my heart grew bitter and the strings snapped. Now everyday brings me closer to the truth that I keep recognizing with every single Word from your mouth. You speak the truth that continuously keeps setting me free day after day, night after night, every last one of your Words is like a loving kiss on my soul as my heart weeps with tears of pure delight because you care what becomes of me.

I am now a Diplomat representing your Kingdom; I take my place as your Royal Priest and proclaim your truth to whoever will listen. Your blood is not in vain, I say your blood is not in vain but has redeemed my life and I give it back to you again and again as I repent and exchange your forgiveness for strength and power to face yet another spiritual battle as I scream your heavenly name JESUS, JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH!!!

He is our savior and defender of all that is Good and Holy and Righteous. My brothers and I are Soldiers in the Armies of the Most High assembling in great masses; our numbers are more than the grains of sand or stars in the skies.

We stand with a Kingdom that needs no defense so we battle for lost souls that wander in the city streets and country sides. Salvation for others our solo and just reward, all done in the name of Jesus Christ our most merciful and gracious and loving God… I say Hallelujah, Amen, Amen and Amen!!!
