Verily, Verily

His power is almighty,
His riches beyond belief,
His wisdom is verily absolute,
His strength brings eternal relief,
His honor is pure and perfect,
His glory is heaven’s true light,
His blessing is from the Father’s hand,
His presence puts evil to flight.

MT 2022

Rev 5:11  Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 
Rev 5:12  saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

One Worthy

Worthy, worthy, worthy
Is the resurrected Lamb

Glory, glory, glory
Is the wisdom of God’s plan

Holy, holy, holy
Is the eternally great I AM

Mercy, mercy, mercy
Is His wondrous gift to man

MT 2022

Rev 5:13  And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

Humble Fool

I take it as a badge of honor,
To suffer reproach for His name,
For I believe every word He says,
Every promise, command and claim.

While His words may not be in fashion,
And many might think them uncool,
It rather be true to the word of Christ,
And be thought a humble fool.

MT 2020

1Co 1:18  NKJV
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 

A Theist

I am a theist
And make no apologies
I believe in Jesus Christ
Not man-made ideologies
Nor in man’s speculation
Nor his pop psychologies
For only Christ can cleanse the heart
Of sin and social pathologies.

MT 2020

Colossians 2:8 NKJV 

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 

I Listened

I sat beside a friend of mine,
And listened to his tale of lament,
I didn’t say many profound words,
And later asked the Lord why I was sent,
He replied in return, “You did what I asked,”
“You listened and you were a friend,”
“You were an extension of me and I am pleased,”
“By the listening ear that you lend.”

Mark Tinjum  2017

Jas 1:19  NKJV
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Contemplation

A wise man takes both good and bad,
And learns from each situation,

As he talks them over with the all wise God,

Then acts from his contemplation.

 

Mark Tinjum. 2017

 

Proverbs 2:6 NKJV

[6] For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;

Called

We are called to something more noble,

We are called to a much greater cause,

We are called to a much more meaningful life,

Than to live for man’s praise and applause.

We are called to serve the true Master,

We are called to follow His lead,

We are called to stand up for the poor and oppressed,

We are called to help others in need.

 

Mark Tinjum   –  2017
