Your love is like a chalice
of Holy Blood the wine
Deep the pool and sweet from the Vine
of the Father God Divine
Whose Name is above all the nations
Whose Name is reason for exultation
Whose Love beyond the nature of man's finite comprehension

Jesus Lord Divine
Son of the Father God in Heaven eternity
Three Divine persons yet in essence one!

My soul is tattered skin
infused with sins of sins
No longer holding wine to preserve
infirm instead-infirm!

How long must I live in anguish?
How long must I plow the burden of this Cross -renounced from society as anything at all...?

I am deviant as far as the human eyes can see
Oh Lord hear my plea
Oh Lord please answer me

Yet His gentle gaze
under the green shades of tree that's placed
amongst its kindred kind
He looked with me with generous love with no divide
He said with voice quite soft and low
that it makes the trees bent low

He said
'My child if you well please
take My burden, take My yoke and feel at ease
see I touch your face with healing powers from the Father
You asked Me how much farther
well, child when you answered yes
be well known throughout your life
there will be faith infused tests
but never doubt that I- am your Lord God
and I alone am Lord Divine
Eternal God am I
none came before nor shall surpass I...
I AM indeed I AM...
to be sure, the unblemished Lamb
if you are My follower be assured that you
are never left unheard
rest assured you are in My fold

Forever you shall be
as long as you wish to be
lest you wander off astray
I will still call you day to day
and find you I will each day
till you come back to Me again
don't doubt that I have you in
My fold, My precious kin

The sorrows that you bear
the cross you so carry each day, you know, you do declare
that your faith rests in Me God Yahweh- alone- declaring I alone am your God
'

Then He turned His head
and looked at the grassy mounts which stretches far ahead
how the flowers bloomed to look like berries, gems and currants
of blue and red-plump and ripe for picking
He gazed upon the flock which He tended day to day
He looked at them and then looked at me and said,

"Be brave O child of Mine
I chose you didn't I?
If you had no purpose here
I would not cast My eyes
nor make My hands to move
to mold you from the womb
of your mother...
"

Then He in all that He was, pure Love unconditional, unquestioned,
He held my cheeks, my face
infirm, infirm indeed I am
still He did not cringe to hold
my face in His hands

He kissed my forehead and said
"Be healed o child of Mine
and be free of sin
Go in peace and see that you do not sin again...
O child of Mine...
be sure that you are Mine
and forever Mine
and because of this
the world cannot accept you...
be off with you and let it be known
that your seedling is half sown

I love you, child know this true
I will love you through and through
and hold you close to My breast
I shall cradle you in your sleep
and carry you through troubled times
though it may seem like you are alone
know that I am with you
the very essence of My being lives within you
for you made your vessel to be My home
and in you I shall forever dwell...
be still, love, and know I am near....
"

He whispered that if a door closes, a window opens and sometimes things happen that I may know that it is the way of the world...


Then I laid my head upon my Saviour's breast
feeling all the world's burden lighter when I rest
upon His sacred breast
O Lord Jesus God ...forever glorified and blessed...

In all frustration, self doubting, self questioning my self worth....


while showering the first two lines of the poem came to mind.
