A Chaplains Book of Poems #8

By Chaplain Anthony Murphy ND

These poems I write are a gift from God.
I am only a scribe not the author, I know to many I’m odd.
I don’t take credit for these incredible God-inspired poems.
I’m hoping many will read them worldwide in their homes.
God reveals some exciting concepts it seems every day.
Many times when I start the poems I don’t know what He’ll say.
But, as each poem starts to develop I got the idea.
Then the meaning behind the poems becomes quite clear.
Every day it seems there is another treasure in print.
Sometimes I asked God what He wants me to write, or just give me a hint.
Many times I got the idea – the poems was intended just for me.
Other times, my poems hit home with you – I’m sure you’ll agree.
In this time of unrest and turmoil we need God’s guidance it’s true.
Sometimes without God’s guidance we wouldn’t know what to do.
Thank God that He doesn’t change – His word is always true.
So, study the Word, pray and talk to God, He loves to hear from you!

Chaplain Anthony Murphy ND

Chaplain Anthony Murphy, ND is a retired European naturopath doctor and an active Chaplain. He began writing his poems on February 28, 2012, which he says was a “brand new gift from God”. Anthony is inspired to write a poem almost every day, sometimes even two or more in one day, which he says the Lord gives him the words for – sometimes almost faster than he can type. He says that these poems are his “gift to the world”, and leaves them as his legacy. The Lord has recently given Anthony a new talent, adding music to some of his poems. He is very excited about this, and truly believes they will be very sought after as children’s songs! When not writing, Anthony loves to fish whenever possible. He also plays the music saw, which he has done for many years. He is an avid health nut and exercises 3x weekly, plus, walks or runs to the post office daily with his friendly and approved nursing home therapy dog, Zip. Anthony also lifts weights and eats mostly organic, or the best food possible, plus has a “green drink” daily. Recently, Anthony suffered a massive heart attack. One that would have killed most. However, the cardiologist stated that because of Anthony being so healthy and the prayers from his poems partners, that his recovery was nothing less than a miracle. Anthony has three amazing sons James, Larry and Tray that he is very proud of. They are raising amazing Murphy families. Ultimately, Chaplain Anthony Murphy bequests blessings to all that read his God inspired poems.
