I began writing poetry early in my walk with God. I have found it to be the best and sometimes the only way to express what God has made real in my heart. All of these poems are gifts from Heaven to me. Writing them and even re-reading them myself has blessed me beyond measure. I now pass the gift on to you. May you be touched and changed.

That Hideous Strength

The Shadow of that hideous strength
Casts its proud heart through the years
Mankind yet will go to any length
To escape their insecure fears

As in the days of Babel’s tower
We cast off the bonds of God
Seeking our own strength and power
In its footsteps now we trod

The fear of God waxes colder still
We no longer fall at His feet
Asserting our own twisted will
Old Babel’s sins we repeat

But as in those days of old
God looks into our hearts of pride
He sees our love waxing cold
Forgetting it was for us that He died

His wraith against us is stored
Our tower will crash to the ground
We must bow our knee to Him as Lord
And at His feet fall down
