A Week Of Poetry: Day 7

Today is day 7 of a week of poetry. I know you wish it could go on but we have many more writing coming up that will break you, and then fill you up. I must say that this week has been nothing short of brilliant. It has been full of great pieces and I would like to thank all you guys that have been reading, as well as those who submitted their writings. If you didn't get the chance and would like to submit your pieces, we will be having another week of poetry in the future. So stay tune! On our last day we have a special poem from the great artist Jon Dengler. Enjoy, and thanks again.


Praise
Jon Dengler

God I fought Thee

But you still sought me and you bought me

Pick me up and you taught me

So now how do I praise the name of a God whose love stays the same

And sustains me and keeps me from going insane

From the weight of my own sin and shame

Who pierced the main vein of his own son

Whose taken my blame though I forsaken his name

By living profane and living a deadly game

But you kept me safe through these mazes and phases

And it amazes me God

So here I am to give you the praises

And here I am to throw my life upon the altar

‘Cuz all I want to do with my life is exalt ya

And what’s more, like psalm 34, I’ll extol the Lord at all times

His praises always on my lips and my rhymes

And my soul will boast in the Lords voice

So let the afflicted, addicted, and conflicted hear it and rejoice

Thank you Jesus that you healed my diseases and you picked up the pieces

You’ve given me freedom and now the drugs and alcohol I don’t need’em

And you’ve turned me around

And put my feet on solid ground

And now my heart pounds to the sound of a new drum

Marching to the cadence of God’s only son

Yeshua , Hallelujah glory to ya, Lion of Judea

Come on and glorify the Lord with me like you’ve never done

Let us exalt his name together son

Yeshua, Jesus, the ancient of days

Yeshua, Jesus, the ancient of days

Yeshua, Jesus, the ancient of days

The way the truth the life Yahweh

Son of God son of David the Son of Man

Son of God son of David the Son of Man

Son of God son of David the Son of Man

The good the shepherd the word and that I AM

Bread of life, Adonai, Holy and divine

Bread of life, Adonai, Holy and divine

Bread of life, Adonai, Holy and divine

Lily of the valley, Root of Jesse, the vine

Consuming fire love the first and the last

Consuming fire love the first and the last

Consuming fire love the first and the last

The Lamb of God that was slain on our behalf

Yeshua, Hallelujah, Glory to ya
