ONLY GOD WOULD MAKE A TREE

Man builds steeples, tall skyscrapers,

Structures great for all to see.

Bridges spanning mighty rivers

But God alone can build a tree!

.

.

Concentrating on the mighty!

Cathedrals, obelisks that tower,

Pull sights down to the flighty

Only God can build a flower!

.

.

Could it be that man keeps reaching

For the sky to prove that he

Above all else is still almighty

But can that man build a sea?

.

.

Man builds cars, tanks, and cannons,

Smart bombs, dumb bombs, on and on

God just shakes His head and murmurs

“I made earth man builds upon!”

.

.

Man in rage thinks, “Let us destroy it,”

God in love looks down on me.

Cannot you see?  He did it for us!

Only God would make a tree!

ISAIAH 53

“He was wounded for our transgressions,

Bruised for our iniquities:

Chastisement of our peace was upon Him;

And with His stripes we are healed.”

.

.

It was my sins that put Him on that cross,

Every vile deed I had done!

He did not deserve but went willingly

Because He is the Only One–

.

.

Sinless, who could assume all our sins.

Mine, yours back to Adam and Eve

The Only One with no sin at all!

The Only Perfect One!

.

.

Godhead decreed as was prophesied

That Jesus would give His life

As a vile sinner for every sin,

To end sins death and strife!

.

.

Equip, yes, for heavens eternity,

Deserving of hell though we!

Punishment He took every lash!

Already half dead, for me!

.

.

Created us so he is responsible?

Is that not what we believe?

Then did He not assume it all,

On that black Calvary?

.

.

He died as a sinner, criminal yet!

Christ, The One Sinless One!

Capital punishment the cross!

Lifer, the chair, like, hung!

.

.

“God is Spirit,” the Three in One.

Dare any deny?

The Almighty, only Creator!

For all mankind to die!

.

.

Excruciating the death pinioned up there!

Suffering why?  You and me!

From the very beginning of time (*)

Torture determinedly!

.

.

Since it was love that put Him there,

Love only God can know.

The hateful defiled the hideous,

He died for all below!

.

.

(*)  God always was, contemplate but believe!

HIS WILL UNTIL

His will until conflict, tragedy, forevermore

Gone once safe on that Heavenly Shore!

.

Child of God is safe even then

Psalmist experienced what God did contend!

.

So we like King David can know this is true!

From down within Shepard King knew.

.

We can know, also, so many centuries later!

God is on the throne still!  Tell now, who is greater?

.

Through tempests, wars keeping power still!

Keeps!  How and why because it is His will!

.

Worlds, the very atmosphere He created!

Endless space, hurricane you can see and hear!

.

Storms in violence do show a bit

Of His Power, who created it!

.

All in the heavens and surely the earth

We He formed in His own image in our birth!

.

One difference we are aware, He always is!

What more can express Almighty?  Who is!

.

Was a time when God was not?

Existence, always!  Forever cannot blot.

.

Cannot time presence that always was!

Or fact that we were made from dust.

.

Never was a time when God was not.

Pre-existence!  Forever!  Cannot blot!

.

Whose time presence that always been?

God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit!

.

How can this be?  Then how miracles we see?

Look around!  Miracles will always be!

.

Life we call it not everlasting yet,

Exception spirit living on it is set!

.

By God’s Spirit alive and vibrant still!

Who then with fish did the oceans fill?

.

Spirit of man that no one can kill!

Until forever!  Or when God says until.

.

.

DIFFERENCE IN SIMILARITY

Limb of a tree, God’s hand is showing,

So beautiful wild and free!

Compare, maybe, soft blanket cover

Comforting over me!

.

.

Dark with leafy the foliage, God can only do!

Appearing wild and free there

Same as the other foliage around,

Never variegation so fair!

.

.

Difference find in the similarity,

This only seeming so.

Same, oh yes, but vaguely a difference

Only God seems to know!

.

.

Difference can appear, oh, often times

Vaguely it is true,

Sometimes only Almighty can tell!

Sure, He’s among very few!

.

.

Made us from Mother of the seed,

Implanted in mutual love!

God only can do this richly

Watching from above!

.

.

Adam and Eve, the Cain and Abel,

Disastrous family.

The very first to set the stage

Then leaving decidedly!

.

.

Did Cain then gender the hot-n-tots?

The wild the almost fair?

Killing, eating each other to

The almost animals there.

.

.

I am happy to be just God’s son!

Delighted as can be!

See him soon there, soon in heaven above!

I love Him!  He loves me!

.

.

Yet as a sinner rotting in hate!

Decidedly to the core!

Jesus still loved me!  This I know!

And I will hate nevermore!

.
