The King

By John Mark

I think the best thing we can do for our Lord is to be his Christian. I have tried to be one and hope that my writing be taken as for him and Christian. God has given me his grace many times over in my life as the more in my life I must strive to be a better Christian. I have been writing poetry for many years and have always enjoyed writing it. My poetry is unique in that every line I write rhymes with every line, yet every poem makes a spiritual sense. Trying to find some meaning to communicate for God, I have written these poems that they may be Christian and hope that they be accepted. Plato was once asked "What is God?" and he answered, "The good and the beautiful." I hope that you who may read my poems may find that they merit some of that good and the beautiful and are then worthy of praise and glory to our good, beautiful, and loving God.

You Will

I know you will show me the way

Lord Jesus with me every day

For Your good word is here to stay

And in You I shall have all faith

For You from all death have been raised

And You are the one from God came

Exulted and ever more praised

Loving all through sinner or saint

The One Heaven

Mary, mother, queen of all Heaven

You are the one the bread does leaven

You the one God chose and intended

To bear His son, His only begotten

And you shall never ever be forgotten

You o holy womb, the Savior is brought in

To save all those who have then now sought him.

Words

What should I write to my God

The God, the God of us all

Write words expressing the love

Of He who gave us His son

But my words are not then enough

To express His body and blood

And the agony of His cross

As He died there for all of us

And His word only I can trust

And all good things for me He does

For freely He gives me His love

Prepares me the kingdom above

He Tells Us

Something beautiful He the Lord tells us

To love, love, love as he to us loved

In that the commandment that is enough

In being with God in His fullest trust

And as such salvation to all does come

Yes, Love all who are not just some

Does Sound

Lord, you are the one, the one who’s found

To wear Heaven’s exalted crown

As saints and angels and all worship around

Celestial trumpets and shouting does sound

And all that see you are gloriously found

As goodness and love forever abound

And your true love is evermore and now

I shout the love of you, Lord

Out loud

The More I See

Lord, you are so beautiful to me

The more I look, the more I then see

Curing my blindness, setting me free

Freedom from that disability

From death and sin giving liberty

By rising from the dead in days three

The sight of you Heaven’s victory

We see you into eternity

With us always in the trinity

Eat of It Should

Lord, you give us the eternal food

We your servants to eat of it should

For in substance it is always good

Bread of Heaven and eternal fruit

If not eaten, no life we have in you

For Heaven’s bread is forever true

With the bounty of the vine that grew

So let the branches to that vine bloom

So the body and blood does renew

So the Lord always comes to us too

Wisdom Comes

Lord, you are true through and through

Knowledge of you, is, is always true

Understanding what is truth

Wisdom truly comes from you

All our thoughts are now renewed

As we think the way you do

Pondering the scriptures too

Edifying your good news

Being taught what is good

Wisdom the great virtue

Comes to those who seek you too

Then finest gold, better too

True Light

Lord, you are the world’s true eternal light

In our darkness bring us newfound sight

The firmament of stars and moon of night

The sun that rises and sets, burning bright

These the lights the heavens stationed right

To tell us of the seasons and of time

The workings of the universe we find

Look and see, look and see no longer blind

That candle in the window guides our life

King of Acclamation

Lord Jesus, you are the king of all acclamation

King of kings, you rule over each and every nation

Your power so great it’s infinite, fascination

A power so great, a universe of creation

We look up and cannot stop all the admiration

We worship you and feel your presence in elation

Let us worship you forever without cessation

Let us cry out to you, the King of all Salvation

Let us rejoice and sing in you the Lord’s sensation

Even Now

Lord, before your passion came to be

Before that first Eucharistic feast

Before they took you away to bleed

Before Gethsemane’s agony

Before soldiers came and you they seized

Being condemned so mercilessly

Before they whipped you so scornfully

Before the cross they made you carry

Hung
