Head to Heart

This is nothing of mine, but I have to share some words of great import, encouraging words, again and again, as the poet sings to God, of God, for God, and yes, maybe with God, as we stand near to listen, fortunate that we could catch a glimpse of what the poet saw when we hear (or read) his words. The poet I'm speaking of we know as "The Postman," his nom de plume that of a kind of servant. Here are a few stanzas that appealed strongly to me, which I hope will incite you to follow the link to the entire poem and the scriptures that precede and follow it, in the title, Head to Heart…

From head to heart
Bring down this single fact
That when You from heaven
Came down as man
You came to say,
"Fear not, I am in command."

"Do you love me Lord?"
I had asked
"Yes I do
More than My own life"
Not empty words
Of youthful love
When on the cross
You proved it true.

From head to heart
Bring down this single fact
That when You from heaven
Came down as man
You came to show,
How much You love.

O these words
Too strong for me
Striving exhausted
Impossible for man
Yet You have called
The weak and heavy laden
"Teach me Lord
To learn from Thee"

Now, go back to the link above, and read the entire poem. He opens his poem with Revelation 1:7, and closes it with Revelation 1:1-8. Truly, this brother is like the apostle of Ireland, Patrick, who encompassed himself with God's Word…

"Wisdom of God for my guidance,
Eye of God for my foresight,
Ear of God for my hearing,
Word of God for my utterance…"
