'I look deep down
inside human hearts.

I see what is in people's minds.

The Prophet And The Poet: Parallelism In Biblical Poetry

Is one-third
of Biblical Old Testament
written in poetry?

Entire books Job Psalms Proverbs
the Song of Solomon Lamentations
except for short prose sections.

Large portions of Isaiah Jeremiah
the writings of Minor Prophets
adhere to poetic form and content.

Observe three main divisions
of an inspired Old Testament
the Law the Prophets the Writings

all contain prized poetry
in exultant larger amounts.
Why did God choose poetry?

Why do seven Old Testament books
Leviticus Ruth Ezra Nehemiah
Esther Haggai Malachi lack poetic lines?

Poetic elements
commonly found
in contemporary

poetry alliteration
assonance rhyme; are rare
in Hebrew Biblical poetry.

God promoted
an essential formal
characteristic

parallelism
the content
of one line

is repeated
contrasted
or advanced

by the content
of the next line
in sense rhythm

characterized
by thought
arrangement

not word
arrangement
or rhyme.

The three main types
of parallelism
in biblical poetry

are synonymous
antithetic
and synthetic.

What mysteries
are in each hidden
what secrets cloaked?

The Prophet And The Poet: Teach Antithetic Parallelism

What is
Antithetic
parallelism?

Antithetic
Parallelism
in biblical poetry

is a poetic construction
through which the thought
embodied in the first line

is clarified by contrast
by opposition expressed
embedded in a second line

this principle
is swiftly taught
in simple lines

'The poor are shunned
even by their neighbors,
but the rich have many friends.' Proverbs 14: 20

Other translations
accurately state
the poor are disliked

despised hated;
but the rich are loved
by many friends.

Clear precise impact
reveals piercing sad reality
God reinforces the lesson.

'Wealth brings many friends,
but a poor man's friend deserts him.' Proverbs 19: 4.
Truth is sharp prophet written.

'A poor man is shunned
by all his relatives—
how much more do his friends

avoid him! Though he pursues
them with pleading,
they are nowhere to be found.' Proverbs 19: 7.

But what is God's verdict
what does God decree
with regard to this matter?

'The LORD is intimately acquainted
with the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is destroyed.' Psalms 1: 6.

'For the LORD watches
over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.' Psalms 1: 6.

All translations all biblical writers
infused with inspiration by Holy Spirit
teach God's clear concise insights.

God has written
precise observations
of nature into Psalms.

'The young lions do lack,
and suffer hunger:
but they that seek

the LORD shall not want
any good thing.' Psalms 34: 10.
Is a promise of heavenly reward?

We believe grow in God
from seeds of faith
into trees of knowledge.

'He is like a tree planted by streams
of water that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.

In all that he does, he prospers.' Psalms 1: 3.
Psalms is exceptional in poetic beauty;
in heartfelt intensity; who perceives mystery?

Secrets Of The Law Of God

Truly who
can know
interpret

secrets
hidden

within
the laws
of God?

How long
for how
many years

must one
study
to know

secrets
secrets of
the law?

There is no secret
read the ten commandments
read obey the laws

never forgetting
all sin
all fall short

of the glory of God.

Remove the rafter
of sin
within your own eye

before
you speak out
about

the splinter
of sin
within your

brothers
sisters
eyes.

N ever forgetting
love covers
a multitude of sin.

Never forgetting
love your neighbor
as you love yourself.

Do unto
your neighbour
as you

would have
done
unto yourself.

Who then
is your
neighbor?

Your neighbor
in this day
in this age
is the entire world.

Never forget
Jesus said
“Love the Lord

your God with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your mind.”

This is the first
and greatest
commandment.

And the second is like it:
‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

All the Law and the Prophets
hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22: 37-40.

So simple
are the secrets
of the laws

so simple
a small child
can understand

can obey.

“Love the LORD your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your strength.” Deuteronomy 6: 5.

“Do not seek revenge
or bear a grudge
against anyone
among your people,

but love your neighbor
as yourself. I am the LORD.” Leviticus 19: 18.

You have been told
again and again
you have been commanded.
Do not deny it.
Do not pretend
you do not understand.

When will you listen
when will you obey
the word of your God?

The Song of Lamech

Hearken to me, ye mothers of my tent:
Ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech:
Adah, let Jubal hither lead his goats:
And Tubal Cain, O Zillah, hush the forge;
Naamah her wheel shall ply beside, and thou,
My Jubal, touch, before I speak, the string.
Yea, Jubal, touch, before I speak, the string.
Hear ye my voice, beloved of my tent,
Dear ones of Lamech, listen to my speech.

For Eve made answer, Cain, my son, my own,
O, if I cursed thee, O my child, I sinned,
And He that heard me, heard, and said me nay:
My first, my only, one, thou shalt not go;
And Adam answered also, Cain, my son,
He that is gone forgiveth, we forgive:
Rob not thy mother of two sons at once;
My child, abide with us and comfort us.

Hear ye my voice; Adah and Zillah, hear;
Ye wives of Lamech, listen to my speech.
For Cain replied not. But, an hour more, sat
Where the night through he sat; his knit brows seen,
Scarce seen, amid the foldings of his limbs.
But when the sun was bright upon the field,
To Adam still, and Eve still waiting by,
And weeping, lift he up his voice and spake.
Cain said, The sun is risen upon the earth;
The day demands my going, and I go.
As you from Paradise, so I from you:
As you to exile, into exile I:
My father and my mother, I depart.
As betwixt you and Paradise of old,
So betwixt me, my parents, now, and you,
Cherubim I discern, and in their hand
A flaming sword that turneth every way,
To keep the way of my one tree of life,
The way my spirit yearns to, of my love.
Yet not, O Adam and O Eve, fear not.
For He that asked me, Where is Abel? He
Who called me cursed from the earth, and said
A fugitive and vagabond thou art,
He also said, when fear had slain my soul,
There shall not touch thee man nor beast. Fear not.
Lo, I have spoke with God, and He hath said.
Fear not; and let me go as He hath said.
Cain also said (O Jubal, touch thy string),
Moreover, in the darkness of my mind,
When the night’s night of misery was most black,
A little star came twinkling up within,
And in myself I had a guide that led,
And in myself had knowledge of a soul
Fear not, O Adam and O Eve: I go.

Children of Lamech, listen to my speech.

For when the years were multiplied, and Cain
Eastward of Eden, in this land of Nod,
Had sons, and sons of sons, and sons of them,
Enoch and Irad and Mehujael
(My father, and my children’s grandsire he),
It came to pass, that Cain, who dwelt alone,
Met Adam, at the nightfall, in the field:
Who fell upon his neck, and wept, and said,
My son, has God not spoken to thee, Cain?
And Cain replied, when weeping loosed his voice,
My dreams are double, O my father, good
And evil. Terror to my soul by night,
And agony by day, when Abel stands
A dead, black shade, and speaks not, neither looks,
Nor makes me any answer when I cry
Curse me, but let me know thou art alive.
But comfort also, like a whisper, comes,.
In visions of a deeper sleep, when he,
Abel, as him we knew, yours once and mine,
Comes with a free forgiveness in his face,
Seeming to speak, solicitous for words,
And wearing ere he go the old, first look
Of unsuspecting, unforeboding love.
Three nights are gone I saw him thus, my Sire.

Dear ones of Lamech, listen to my speech.

For Adam said, Three nights ago to me
Came Abel, in my sleep, as thou hast said,
And spake, and bade, Arise, my father, go
Where in the land of exile dwells thy son;
Say to my brother, Abel bids thee come,
Abel would have thee; and lay thou thy hand,
My father, on his head, that he may come;
Am I not weary, father, for this hour?
Hear ye my voice, Adah and Zillah, hear;
Children of Lamech, listen to my speech:
And, son of Zillah, sound thy solemn string.

For Adam laid upon the head of Cain
His hand, and Cain bowed down, and slept, and died.
And a deep sleep on Adam also fell,
And, in his slumber’s deepest, he beheld,
Standing before the gate of Paradise,
With Abel, hand in hand, our father Cain.
Hear ye my voice, Adah and Zillah, hear;
Ye wives of Lamech, listen to my speech.

Though to his wounding he did slay a man,
Yea, and a young man to his hurt he slew,
Fear not, ye wives, nor sons of Lamech fear:
If unto Cain was safety given and rest,
Shall Lamech surely and his people die?

Come In From The Outside

Come in from the outside
Don't be ashamed
Come in from the outside
And bless His name
It's all on the inside
Where His glory reigns
Enter in
Come in from the outside
Just as you are
Come in from the outside
You're not too far
It's all on the inside
Simply open your heart
Enter in
(Chorus)
Everybody everybody
Everybody everybody
Everybody everybody
Let everything that hath breath
Praise the Lord
Everybody everybody
Praise
We're the generation
That will give You praise and adoration
Let Your kingdom come
Let Your will be done
Establish now Your throne, oh my Lord
O my Lord

Praise You Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord
We love You Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord

Poem: Teach Me to Pray

Lord, create in me a clean heart
and teach me how to pray.
Sow your righteousness into me;
keep my soul from going astray.

Allow me to tap into Your spiritual strength.
Open my ears – to the words, You now say!
Quench this inner longing of human desire;
help me to obey Your commands without delay.

Humbled by Your awesome Presence
and reminded of my frail vulnerability,
I bring myself before You for correction.
Discipline this child with righteous dignity.

Open the eyes of my spirit
and give my mouth the words to speak.
Focus my attention on important matters –
So I’m in alignment with the solutions You seek.

Allow me to be attuned to Christ’s mind
and pray in accordance with Your Will.
Lord, let this conversation between us…
be a lifelong exchange, that continues still.

------
Author Notes:

Loosely based on:
Proverbs 29: 18, Psalm 119, Luke 11: 1, Psalm 25: 4, Exodus 33: 13

My Lord

Forgive me, my Lord.
As I part from this womb.
Forgive me, my Lord.
As I plunge into doom.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I'm ashamed of my birth.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Punish me with a curse.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I do promise to praise.
Forgive me, my Lord.
Hear me hail your name.

Forgive me, my Lord.
I won't attain what I've yearned.
Absolve me, my Lord.
Cleanse this sin of being born.

Don’t Cry For Me Africa

Don’t cry for me Africa
Because I will never let you out of my mind
I hear your voices people of Africa

The Lord sends you a message from his heart to you people of Africa
He said because I love you
I will answer your prayers

Because you have a friend that is the Lord
People of Africa continue doing the Lords work
Make a wish people of Africa
The people of Africa are looking at the Lord face to face
Lord here is no paradise
We dream a little dream said the people of Africa to the Lord
The People of Africa Pray that the Lord will give each other strength every day
Don’t cry for me Africa
Save the people of Africa
Strengthened the people of Africa each day
Because I’ll be there in your dreams people of Africa

Nothing but flowers the people of Africa will plant in the sea shore for the Lord

The people of Africa needs hope to heal there land
The Lord rose up on you people of Africa
Don’t cry for me Africa
My heart will go on
Once I close this door of the ship I will sail across the Atlantic Sea

Savior

Save me from myself, Lord;
Save me from my need
To always run my life, Lord,
To control my every deed.
Save me from my pride, Lord,
My focus on just me;
Help me learn to serve, Lord;
Show me how to be.
Save me from the world, Lord,
When tempting things entice;
Remind me of eternity
With You, in paradise.
I give my life to you, Lord
My every need you fill;
I'm resting in my faith, Lord;
You saved me, and you always will.

God, Are You There?

GOD, Are you there?
Do you still listen as I pray
If you still do, I need you Lord,
There is so much I need to say.
Do you still listen as I speak
And do you hear me when I cry
For I know, no one else listens to me
And Lord, I just need to know why.
Am I not created by you
As you have created everything else
But many times Lord, I'm all alone
Even though, I'm not by myself.
Do I not have pain like everyone else
Do I not also cry out for help,
I am a Man, a very lonely Man
One who keeps death, to Himself.

Lord, are you awake,
If not, I'll let you sleep
I'm sorry if I'm bothering you
And I'm sorry, If I cause you to weep.
Every man has His troubles
And every Woman has Her woe,
So I listen to them as I should
But though when I speak; they all go.
Lord, do you still love me,
I just need to hear it every now and then,
For no one speaks it or shows it from the heart,
And I need to strengthen my soul from sin.
Lord, I'll leave you now,
Thank you, for listening to me
Now I truly know, that I'm never alone
For you are here Lord, for me to believe.

William Cowper

Olney Hymn 13: The Covenant

The Lord proclaims His grace abroad!
'Behold, I change your hearts of stone;
Each shall renounce his idol-god,
And serve, henceforth, the Lord alone.

'My grace, a flowing stream, proceeds
To wash your filthiness away;
Ye shall abhor your former deeds,
And learn my statutes to obey.

'My truth the great design ensures,
I give myself away to you;
You shall be mine, I will be yours,
Your God unalterably true.

'Yet not unsought or unimplored,
The plenteous grace I shall confer;
No - your whole hearts shall seek the Lord,
I'll put a praying spirit there.

'From the first breath of life divine
Down to the last expiring hour,
The gracious work shall all be mine,
Begun and ended in my power.'

Come on Lord
Listen to the people praying,
Come on in
Hear the words they're saying-
Oh Lord

Come on in
See the way they do what they do-
Enter here Lord
This is the holy place,
There's so many here waiting
Throughout the human race-
So many Lord
That call on your name,
Oh so many
Need rescue from living's fear and pain-
Won't you please come on in here
Do your Royal part,
In this your Kingdoms home
Here within every followers own
Pleading and praying heart;
Come on Home now....... let's all go Home.

I'm no longer blind (Quatern poetry)

(A Quatern is a sixteen line French form composed of four quatrains. It is
similar to the Kyrielle and the Retourne. It has a refrain that is in a
different place in each quatrain. The first line of stanza one is the second
line of stanza two, third line of stanza three, and fouth line of stanza four.
A quatern has eight syllables per line. It does not have to be iambic or follow
a set rhyme scheme. line 1 line 2 line 3 line 4 line 5 line 6 (line 1) line 7
line 8 line 9 line 10 line 11 (line 1) line 12 line 13 line 14 line 15 line 16
(line 1)

Dear Lord, please have mercy on me,
You're always near my painful soul,
You are my focus and my goal,
In the falling rain I'm your tree.


Help me for I am a sinner.
Dear Lord, please have mercy on me.
'Cause I'm Your humble devotee,
Asking Christ to come for dinner.


Guard Thou with light this pain of mine.
I'm no longer blind I can see.
Dear Lord, please have mercy on me.
Your words through me will always shine.


Save me by Your grace, set me free.
Keep my way, truth and life in Christ.
And so I'll know that Thou exist.
Dear Lord, please have mercy on me.

He Who Surfs Online, Saves Online

HE WHO SURFS ONLINE, SAVES ONLINE


‘Lord, must I use the Internet?
It seems so hard to me! ’

‘Save as many as you can get!
Tell them of Calvary! ’

‘Lord, must I really go online?
There’s danger everywhere! ’

‘So many souls are not yet Mine...
They must be made aware! ’

‘Lord, must I get a website, too,
Maintaining it each week? ’

‘Search for lost souls and I’ll bless you,
Each soul is quite unique...’

‘Lord, must I learn H. T. M. L.
And all that webpage stuff? ’

‘Yes, then you’ll save lost souls from Hell,
So that they learn to love...’

‘Lord, please, find someone else, I pray...
My mind can’t take it in! ’

‘This is your chance... if you obey,
A million souls you’ll win! ’

Sinful though my heart may be
I need you to come down
And bless me
Yes
While
Whilst thou art blessing
While you are in the blessing business today
Not tomorrow
I need you today
Yeah
Bless me
Protect me
Direct me
Even me lord
To stop by
Just drop by
Oh lord lord lord lord lord lord lord
Bless me
Even me
Even me lord
Yeah
I need a blessing
I need a blessing
I need a blessing lord

Even Me

Written by roberta martin / fanny crosby
Lord I hear of showers of blessings
Thou art scattering full and free
Showers the thirsty souls refreshing
Let some drops now fall on me
Pass me not oh gentle saviour
Sinful though my heart may be
I am longing for your favor
Whilst thou art blessing
Oh lord
Come on and bless me
Even me lord
Even me
Even me lord
Even me
Let some drops
Let some drops
Whilst thou art blessing
Oh lord
Stop by and bless me
Oh stop by lord
Yes and bless me
Bless me
Protect me
Direct me
Even me lord
I need you
To come on down
And bless me
Sinful though my heart may be
I need you to come down
And bless me
Yes
While
Whilst thou art blessing
While you are in the blessing business today
Not tomorrow
I need you today
Yeah
Bless me
Protect me
Direct me
Even me lord
To stop by
Just drop by
Oh lord lord lord lord lord lord lord
Bless me
Even me
Even me lord
Yeah
I need a blessing
I need a blessing
I need a blessing lord
