A Poem on Legalism

FREED FROM HELL TO HELL

John, given to God this day by Jesus the Christ

O Father surround me with the Holy Spirit's form

In a way I feel him being there enticed

To being around me then as has been my norm

We are to love Christ Jesus with all our heart

With promised life through him our Savior and King

May we never be so bold as to think we should part

From him who is our life our everything

For he gives us the right in his everlasting light

To call his God our Father, his Father God

For his glory is over all things and very bright

Give him glory due him even while under the sod

Do not think as his people did that they could do

Whatever they wanted so long as it was the law

Obeying the rules but not in the Spirit of who

Made laws and gave orders without any flaw

As they turned to Jesus through Paul and tried the same

To love Jesus but not each other with compassion's care

Because the Apostle Paul said to revere his name

So their love went through the roof and then nowhere

For power in God is in the love of Christ

But also in the love of the saints once men

And those of the world in Satan's grasp high priced

His slaves to beat and be beaten by him most then

To be pitied as the rule to set them free

Makes them a slave to religious rules of all kinds

And loving the rules their legalisms agree

They are bound again having closed their window blinds 

To the light that set them free of darkest hell

And thinking they're purer than saints that therein dwell.

Author's Note

It needs a second read. For me the first read just laid there but the second told it all.
