Lord It Grieves My heart *Revised

Missing image

 Matthew 5:1 Blessed are you when people insult you, persucute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

 

 

 

Lord it grieves my heart

When some mock at your name

They curse and laugh 

 feeling no shame*

I'm told I ought to love them

Just as you love me

 I'm the salt of the earth

 My Savior abides in me*

Lord it breaks my heart

when sin is excused*

Grant I abhorr the sin

May I never your spirit abuse*

Grant me courage

When I'm weak to stand strong*

Wisdom to know by grace*

My God is never wrong*

Lord it grieves my heart

When evil is called good

Lord may I overcome evil

I've the gospel your written word*

Lord challenge my heart

You love I'll embrace*

In the trial and lesson*

To go from grace to grace*

 

 

 

Praise God!

    I'm the salt of the earth

    Christ lives in me

    Lord it breaks my heart

    first, let me say, i do not believe in god, but i think your poem was well written. maybe i came here and clicked on this poem because somewhere inside of me there is a longer for a higher truth and i am hoping to find it. i just do not believe as you believe. but isn't it our difference that somehow make us whole? i don't know. i was just born into this world the way that i am, but there is no going back. the page has already been turned and i am destined to this thing forever

    I know that God is pleased with your heart just keep believing in Him and therefor you have nothing to worry about, for "He" is always and forever

    well lil sis i do not know where to begin. outside of the spelling error in line 17: lord it grieves my heart
    When evil is called good
    " Lord"
    and some forced rhymes

    this was one of the best writes i have seen from you. it is perfumed with truths. everytime i read it it speaks my heart. when i think of how people mock His name it grieves my heart as well. but my heart bleeds when those who name the name of Christ and by their actions they mock His name. may your heart contiue to grieve, and may your heart heart be transformed into His heart.

    Beautifully Poetic

    Very well written. I love the rhyme scheme. Beautiful words. I agree with what you wrote. It is very sad what this world has come to...mocking His name.

    This was really beautiful. I myself am having difficulties in continuing my Christianity, but writes like these and the idea of faith and living happily always hav me running back into his arms. I pray the Lord gives me the strength to stay this time. Thank you so much for this beautifully written piece.
    And God bless =)
