Save

Our airsick world needs hope.....

FOCUS Sacred words of absolution Eclectic m�lange Swirling metaphors Gliding through thorny popular minefields Stand firm Christian artists Erect in theistic defiance The enemy is cunning Countless nay-say-ers Critical assaults Designed to denigrate Pre-emptive persecution Our airsick world needs hope So lost is mindless society Grasping for assurance Joy of virtuous prophecy Harbingers Come forth Compassionate disciples Spreading gospel truth To comfort mass disorder Focus Creative believers Be it sculptured clay Inspiring oil based elegance Poetic psalms of gratitude Rhythmic praise filled ballads Minority are we As it was written in the book of life Our task is crystal clear Share redemptive blessings Steadfast faith in Jesus Christ With those who suffer still � Bill Grimes Jr. 2006

Bravo Bill.
The only message this world understands is LOVE. Jesus didn't call us to save the world but to love the world. People are tired of the hypocrisy of religion and need real hope. Thanks for sharing this most eloquent write.

With those who suffer still <---- more poignant then many may realise..
