Christian Words of Affirmation

Submitted by Lamar Ingraham on Thu, 2014-01-30 17:53

I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim it in my heart
For the rest of my life;
I proclaim the love of Christ

Such a love that does not envy,
Suffers long and retains plenty;
Love as it bleed but not paraded itself,
Kind enough to die on the cross for all else.

… the love of Christ
I proclaim it forever.

The one love which seeks not its own,
And provoke not any evil to a happy home;
I call it a type of love with no rude behavior,
Because it is the kind given from our Savior.

… the love of Christ
I proclaim it now and again.

I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim it in my heart
For the rest of my life;
I proclaim the love of Christ

True love never rejoice in our iniquity,
It encourages a great house to tranquility,
Once all things believed and endured
In this love righteousness is heavily ensured.

… the love of Christ
I proclaim it altogether.

The love that was demonstrated never fails,
Through the resurrection over death, it prevails;
Jesus provided love with an enriched history
without His love we are void beyond mystery.

… the love of Christ
I proclaim it from start to end.

I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim the love of Christ
I proclaim it in my heart
For the rest of my life;
I proclaim the love of Christ

I declare it in Jesus' name.

There are many poems I can comment on,
all I can say on this one is that it is your belief.
That you write so well of it, is good for you.
Yours Ian.T

There are a million reasons to believe in yourself,
So find more reasons to believe in others..

and not improved human behaviour.
I respect your passion but not the content.
Religion is divisive to humanity and we need to move on to better beliefs, especially ones that don't regard us as essentially flawed creations of an imperfect and impotent creator.
And you write well, if a tad repetitiously.

cheers,
