"DISCIPLINE!"
© 1998 Patricia L. Carpenter
{Poem Book 4}
(Taken from my Poem Book #4 - entitled
POEMS & THOUGHTS TO:
STAY 'TRUE' TO THE SAVIOR ~ NO MATTER WHAT!")
Disciplined ~ that I might LEARN
to sense my NEED to 'change',
Accepting & 'enjoying' it *
for God must 're-arrange'.
He must re-arrange my 'life'
& 'correct' me from all wrong,
Seeking to 'improve' my walk
so that I can ~sing~ HIS glorious song.
A song of 'repentance'
to rid my Soul of sin,
That JESUS' IMAGE might shine through
so, 'endure' God's ~ DISCIPLINE! **
Remember, we are His 'sons'
& He 'Loves' us ~ very much, *
He corrects us to help us 'grow' *
& to keep us 'out of dutch'! *
Do not get 'discouraged' *
& don't 'give up & quit',
God just doesn't want 'spoiled brats'
nor for us to 'see the pit'!
Jesus suffered all my shame *
it was for me & you He died,
So, can we not 'endure correcting'
from The One Who was crucified? ~
FOR US!
