Jesus then said, “I am the one who raises the dead to life! Everyone who has faith in me will live, even if they die.”
John 11:25
The song of the ruthless is silenced,
But righteousness gives voice.
Look to Jesus and live,
With all your heart rejoice!
Christ came to do His Father’s will;
He redeems and forgives.
With all your heart rejoice!
Look to Jesus and live.
So patient in His sacrifice,
Offering His life by choice.
Look to Jesus and live,
With all your heart rejoice!
Not rushing His moment of glory,
He gave all He had to give.
With all your heart rejoice!
Look to Jesus and live.

Hi Scotti. Thank you again for the well-expressed poem and reminder to look unto Jesus…and to rejoice…
Well put together and powerful,here’s one you may like. God Bless, Mike.
JESUS
For years I’ve searched
For perfect ways
To reach Your throne of grace
I’ve strived and strained
Read loads of books
So I would see Your face
The bibles, I have plenty
All kinds of different versions
But everything is easier
Than long, drawn out, excursions.
My prayer life, just like a list
Expounded every morning
You knew the way that they would go
You must have found them boring
My formula was oh so good
I thought they reached the parts
Just like the beer, they brought You cheer
Like fiery little darts.
But now I have the notion
That I must try much harder
Cast off my jacket that is straight
Start filling up the larder
Bible study is a must
So You I get to know
I need a deep relationship
So that our love will grow.
Very nice poem, Scotti. I love the mirrored refrain effect. I hope you and your family are doing well.
I don’t know much about the technicalities of poetry, but I sure do like these words: “Look to Jesus and live.” What a blessed truth and what a lovely picture and verse. Blessings to you as you use your gift to the glory of God.
I love Jesus He is all the world needs
