The Second Book of Inspirational Poetry by Irene Beales

A new poem will be shown each time you visit this page.



If we will be witnesses for Jesus

Then we must be prepared - like Paul,

That trial will follow triumph

In our search to answer His call.

Right down thro the ages

Its been this way -

And oft much suffering we know,

Before His triumph in our lives we show.

We need His rod of guidance

In a world marred with sin,

Like children - we need to be taken to task

To bring out the best within.

In an old worn basket,

Like a dirty bundle of clothes

Paul was dropped down from a window

To flee from his foes.

And on a plank - in angry seas

He clung for his life.

No supernatural being lifted him

From the wreck and strife.

With a new song and Praise in our mouth

Many shall see and know -

And triumph shall follow trial

As in our lives - His loving kindness we show.
