9. A KNEELING FIGURE

A kneeling figure – such a Holy attire

HE HEARS US. HE IS HERE
Psa 34:6  This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

 

A kneeling figure such a Holy attire

Yet so few to embrace this grade of fire

Somehow, so often… only in distance observed
Powerless without, yet still to be desired

Many a man to rise & fall
At the cost of kneeling – to a King or a fool

An idol brings low,
At the end of its rope

A king stretches forth His hand,
To the one serving his command

So are the hours spent in prayer
or in this World’s disarray…

TO serve the purpose &  the plan

Of the one…

OR THE ONE;

Who received his plea.
