NOT OF THIS WORLD...

N.O.T.W...

I will cling to the old rugged cross,
to one day trade it in for a crown,
and listen to the angels sing and the trumpets sound,

NOT OF THIS WORLD,
and will never be, I dwell with Christ Jesus,
and he with me,

I cling to what is good and hate evil,
and will run towards righteousness, never stop believing,

I have complete faith in the king of kings & lord of Lord's
and one day soon, I'll receive my wings and sore,

NOT OF THIS WORLD,
I will not slip into the dark,
for the Lord is my spark,
the light is always lit in my heart,

Repent for the time is near,
Satan is present and his demons are here,
but there a joke,
It's God I fear...

Some of this is part of a song isn't it? My grandmother listens to a CD on the way to church and one of the songs has very similar lyrics. It's nice to find someone who isn't ashamed to say they are a son of God. :)

Why would one be ashamed of God? I love the Lord, and yes the first stanza is very
similar to an old hymn, if we are ashamed of him, we should be ashamed of ourselves,
God is good!!! Thanks again for checking it out and b-blessed!

Some people are afraid to be judged.. it's sad really. I knew i wasn't going crazy! Yes He is!!

The last stanza was full power, I absolutly love this poem.
You see, I really like your poems because I finally see someone who is really speaking about God with his poems (And yours are a cosmic kind my friend)
Can I show this to my grandma? She really is, like us, into all of this. I'm pretty sure she would like to read this.
