immortal words

here, take these words

sent by many messengers

cost many their lives

brought them rest

my precious love

this verbal bread will bring you peace

quench your thirst

assuage your grief

eat these words

chew them well

time will tell

your soul be healed

his words bring life

to ease your strife

though your life be rife with stress

the words i give you will redress

the ache, the burning low

that knocks your depressed heart a lethal blow

the words i share

may they impart to your broken heart

as they have mine

the well spring of reason

for your being

that you feel the love from high on above

sent from the king of creation's love

that this supernatural love

that it dawn like the first morning's light

on the very first day

when the very first bird sang

when the very first laugh laughed in joy

from the lips of the very first child birthed

may these words sublime

forged in truth

borne of healing for our pain of feeling

when all hope seemed lost

when despair haunts you like broken bones

in your body limp,

filled with weariness of the push and shove

the ruthless head games the cruel world plays

may they instill and fill you with his peace

that surpasses all understanding

there is no weapon formed against you

that can ever prosper

you are loved with an everlasting love

because the God who made you and i

forgotten so long ago since the fall

his words sound and forever will resound

will never return back to him empty

many hear the call

in hearing accepting hearts

that he loves his creation so

every man woman child

of the past present and forever

til the end of this age

til all is culminated

that he gave his only son

that whoever believes in him

will not die

but will live forever

despite the present darkness

live in his perfect kingdom

filled with light and love

wear royal crowns and gowns

and shine like the brightest stars forever

his presence by his spirit sets the captives free

stills the waters of trouble

raises the dead

a friend who comes in time of trouble

in the stillness of the night

speaks to us by many signs

comes in time of trouble

answers our deepest needs

his word made flesh

come to set man free
