TESTIMONIES OF THE REDEEMED

 

He pulled my soul from the long fingers of death.

I was locked within the cell of hopelessness for some time now.

My pain and tribulation were brought on by my ever-fading health.

For me to be healed and redeemed, I just could not see?

But all was made right when I got on my knees to pray,

Having much faith, I waited and waited to see.

Then my God both healed, and redeemed me that very day.

Therefore, I will praise His Name for what He graciously did for me.

 

I was addicted to pain-killers and good, green weed.

Surely, God wouldn’t consider turning a righteous ear my evil way.

Then a friend reminded me of a God who freely does good deeds.

It made me rush home that day to faithfully get right down and pray.

Just maybe, I would have enough faith to receive my blessing this day.

Well God took a while to respond to my humble request,

But when he finally did, He made sure my addiction was gone forever.

Therefore, I will praise His Holy Name and give Him my grateful best-

For I have a testimony of being redeemed, that I must share forever....

The testimonies of the redeemed are a blessing to the open ears. They are a seed of hope, ready to be cultivated. I love the way that you encourage us through your pieces. You are indeed a blessing to me. God bless you and thank you for sharing your works!

I thought to write a poem expressing the blessing of being redeemed was a must write. Thank you for reading.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
