Original Christian Poetry Kai-Anne Clews

Poem lyrics pending.

Oh sing again of her,

The shield maiden of the cross

She free of vanity

Her battlefield she crossed.

Oh tell again of her courage

Her humble peasant faith

That placed heaven itself into her arms

And quieted that debate.

How swift of foot that nimble soul

An eagle high that yields to the wind

How she soared, to follow Him, and

How she still flies,

soaring,

By His side.

Her eyes may pierce the fallen

Her eyes so like Her sons,

She has been given leave to bring warning,

To every country, every people, everyone.

She calls us little children,

For the expanses of her heart

In knowing and Loving Christ,

To us would seem Frightful Depths,

And we would miss its delight…

That even this great Lady,

Is but a dove in the Lord’s magnificence,

She is our shield maiden of eternity,

And is defiant to all our indifference.

You say my Jesus is a fantasy

A fairy story, an ancient myth, with zero worth.

You so frightened of this intimacy,

That comes along with the second birth.

Like a mother and a child are likened to one flesh

So too all those who are reconciled,

To begin again, and start afresh!

There IS no earthly equivalent

For what takes place in the converting heart.

There IS no earthly metaphor

For the sting of that fiery dart.

There IS nothing I can tell you

Lest the Holy Spirit Himself brings illumination,

Only then can understanding dawn,

And you’ll plainly perceive your destination.

So I am terribly sorry,

My lament is not a lie,

If you’ve yet to receive that brightness,

To change and sharpen your eye.

It is ought a mystery,

How some are yet to come to Faith,

But know that we the faithful, pray for you,

To enter in those blessed gates.

Oh my beloved Champion,

With hatred always comes

And ending.

But with Love

Comes always,

A beginning. An assurity

Of depending.

And in my daily Loving You

I daily make a new start.

And in my depending upon you,

I am quickened with another beat of my heart!

Oh Champion unforgetting –

Where hatred demands the sacrifice of another,

But with Love, we are called to sacrifice,

Ourselves for our sister and brother.

This the heart of the Champion –

This is the path of the wise,

Seeing all eternity

Through Gods own loving eyes.

I’ll guide them to my Jesus,

No matter the scope, or type of their pain.

No matter the depth of their woundedness,

No matter the cause of the shame.

Please don’t think me shallow

For this “one size fits all” approach,

Please don’t think me lazy,

Fit for a reproach.

For even if I were a Doctor,

Who could provide the body with healing,

I cannot offer eternal life,

No matter the intensity of my feelings.

For even if I were a lawyer

Who could preserve the reputation,

And keep my client out of the dungeon cell…

I cannot preserve anyone from the dim dark fortress of Hell.

For even if I were a teacher

Who could instruct in a right good way,

I am not the Author of Truth,

Who brought forth the night and the day.

For I am just a human,

A lucky one who knows Gods own name!

I know that in Him and Him alone,

Rests Salvation for us, the slain.

The birds do not gossip

That they should prefer better songs,

Than those given them by the Creator,

They do not mumble that He was wrong.

The mighty stars in their orbit

Do not mutter about it being too far,

That the Creator should expect such service,

Never so complained a single star.

All the rugged and noble animals,

In the wind and the sleet and the snow,

They do not boast of their better knowledge,

They do not sell what they know.

Show me one atom that opposes HIM,

The Great One called; I AM.

Only the Devil demands independence from HIM,

And with this same madness, he poisoned man.

All of creation follows Gods leading,

Animals, Plants, Planets and seasons,

They require no explanation,

And suffer to give none their reasons.

Only mankind and the Devil himself

Would prefer the Outer Darkness to the Lord…

Only mankind and the Devil himself,

Believe they alone ought be adored.
