Judge Not

I don't even remember when I wrote this one. I just found it recently folded up in an old notebook. Just thought I'd share.

Judge Not

who are you to judge
who are you to say
who are you  to tell them
that they can’t come this way
They may look very different
they may not seem ideal
As if God was choosing people
based on outward appeal
They may be tall and skinny
have gold teeth, dreads, and earrings
Thank the lord that Jesus
doesn’t focus on those things
They may be pierced all over
have tattoos like a poster
Just be thankful that heaven
seems to take a look much closer
Remember what you looked like
When the lord brought you this way
you wouldn’t have picked you would u
wouldn’t have given yourself the time of day
But God sent you somebody
Someone willing and determined
To be used by Jesus Christ
Ready to be his humble servant
They didn’t seem concerned
with how you treated your earthly vessel
They wanted to get much deeper
and with your spirit wrestle
They looked at you with the love of God
Shining in their eyes
almost as if they seemed to hear
your soul’s desperate cries
You remember that day don't you
I can tell by the tears in your eyes
Tears of thankfulness
That they didn’t just pass you by
So how come every time that you’re out and about
And you feel the need to witness
You single out and pass the ones
who look like they could never be this?
Next time remember where u came from
and that God’s the one who chooses
You just tell them about His love
and ignore all the differences

Pardoned

Pardoned, forgiven, exonerated From our sinful nature liberated All guilt, all blame, and shame Were absolved when Jesus came He came to save yet was rejected Tried and tested, yet finished perfected Sentenced to die like a common criminal A thief on each side with Him in the middle He carried the cross on that long walk The crowd stood by simply to mock With every drive of the stakes in His hands He redeemed the lives of sinful man All around the people jeered They pierced His side with a spear A crown of thorns upon His head He bore the shame for us instead Only when darkness covered the skies Did they truly come to realize The extent of the damage done When they crucified the Chosen One 7/13/14

In The Beginning

This is the first poem I'd ever written. My pastor had just given a lesson on the subject creation and I felt inspired to write this. It was my first taste of poetry and I've been hooked ever since! I believe my talent has grown much since this poem but I wouldn't want to forget where I began..... In the Beginning by Kesheena LeVasseur 02/14/09 In the beginning When God created His Son He said “ Let's make a world” Let it revolve around the Son So in the beginning A world was made The word of God tells us It took Him six days In the beginning God made Adam and Eve Out of the dust of the earth And into them life He breathed In the beginning God created a tree, Outside of the garden, Of which he told them not to eat In the beginning A choice Adam made To disobey God And go his own way And in the beginning Out of Eden they were sent And because of their sin Back to the dust they went Even now today ...

Continue The Work

Here's another one of my first poems. Continue The Work by Kesheena LeVasseur 03/07/09 My Father has died I work in his stead As was his request from his death bed He asked me to continue The work he'd begun To bring forth a people Jesus' bride, His chosen one The work has been hard I've enlisted much help To bring forth a people Gaining no earthly wealth But the work has be profitable So many lives saved From the road of sin Satan himself had paved We bring them to church Preach to them the word Tell them they can make it If their loins they will gird So many have come To have their souls fed For to Jesus Christ They wish to be wed But my time has now come To join my father I will now leave the work To my sons and my daughters I will tell to them As my father told me That to finish this job They must work faithfully The work will be hard The days and nights long They'll find many things That could and will go wrong But don...
