Plead To Rise: (Micah 6:8)

Time is short Lord, let me write
The blade of grass cuts through the night
The breath of life fades out of sight
Ecclesiastical awareness

Wake me up, I know it's time
To start moving in the Spirit's rhyme
Catch my breath and breathe it fine
Obedient, not careless

Listen to the Father's word
Apply it in the Father's world
Run with truth from first to third
World countries 'cross earth's surface

Micah spoke it fine and well
Directive from the LORD to tell
Go meet downtrodden hearts in 'hell'
And lift them from injustice

The poet's hand, persuasive sway
Voicing truths to carve the way
To deeper realms in hearts today
To move the self and others
God lift myself and others

That last stanza was inspired by JD's call to poets in the 'Poets Ethos'. It's interesting how creativity begets creativity. I'd echo JD's call and hope that people keep responding by posting their creative expressions . . .
