    Poem Commentary

    I'm new and didn't get this piece in time for the challenge but wanted to write one anyway as I loved the topic.

    When God Knocks On Your Door

    When God Knocks On Your Door
                                    (Deborah Taylor)                                

     When God knocks on your door
    What will you hear him say
    Well done my faithful servant
    You chose the narrow way

    When God knocks on your door

     Will you pretend no one’s at home
    Will you want to run and hide
    Will you hang your head in shame
    Or meet his eyes and smile

    When God knocks on your door

     Will he say you lived the golden rule
    And loved beyond yourself
    Your light a beacon shining bright
    Not hidden on a shelf

     When God knocks on your door

    Will you invite him in to live
    Clean every portion of your heart
    Or only let him sit and rest
    And see the few purged parts

     When God knocks on your door

         Will your oil lamp be ready
    When the groom comes for his bride
    Will your life be free of blemish
    When he draws you to his side

     When God knocks on your door

         Will you accept the love he offers
    Love beyond compare
    Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness
    Peace so pure so rare

    When God knocks on your door

         When God knocks on your door
    What will you hear him say
    Well done my faithful servant
    Is what I hope and pray

    When God knocks on your door

    Sing...it was great chatting with you last night. I'll read your poetry later this evening as I have a full day. I still have not figured out how to email someone directly but I do want to talk music with you.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
