Lulu Original Christian Poetry LULU Category:  Religion Publisher: Michael Beatty ISBN-10:  0615185304 Type: Fiction Pages: 76 Copyright: August 2007 ISBN-13: 9780615185309 What I am attempting to do with this volume is to make the younger generation, and anyone else that has a desire, aware of some of the more prominent parts of the bible. Since accepting Christ into my heart, I have come to realize that the bible is an important tool for obtaining strength and hope in my life. Until I started writing this book, I was not as familiar with the bible as I should have been. I hope to pass on some of the insight and promise to those that search the pages of this fascinating and insightful guidebook to the Christian faith. As a bit of information about the format of the poetry in this book, you will find most of the poetry as being tightly rhymed. The only exception to this is the poem that is based on 1st Corinthians Chapter 13. This was my inspiration for the creation of this book and the first poem I wrote in the book.    Excerpt Prayer Teach us to pray, oh Lord Help us to better understand your word. We know you are a friend so true, And that we can always count on you. As we stand at the door to your heavenly realm, Your awesome majesty can overwhelm. We must always remember that you are our friend, And that the bread of heaven you will gladly send. We can not possibly give this on our own, It must come exclusively from your heavenly throne. Hear us knocking, though it is late at night. For only you can give us the heavenly light, To give unto a dying world, So they can see your heavenly banner unfurled. Allow us to seek your heavenly face And bask in the glory of your grace. Answer us oh Lord when we ask for heavenly bread, So a dying world can be fully fed. Luke 11:1-10
