NOT UNTIL

There is no love but until the love for God
No living but until for His sake
No real turning but until to Him toward
So everything ventured but how genuine: Mistake!

For finding Him is but the only success
For we are so born and destined to be
Anything less no matter how tidy but still a mess
Sadly lacks but our true liberty

EVEN UNTO HIM

Many an ill thing are meted out in God's holy name
Of which there is no apparent retribution or refute
Although the very character and reputation of God is slain
Although the perpretrators make changes to themselves; suit

Many an ill thing are meted out in God's holy name
But scripturally we were all forewarned of that
For it is written that many will come in His name
And so must be left to ride but that written fact

IN SEARCHING

Finding God is certainly not restricted to a religion
But may be quickly discovered in a life fully operant of truth
And of the religions certainly not any of particular distinction
They are merely different trees capable of the same fruit

Finding God is but the most tedious of tasks before us
For brazenly so but many boast; readily making such claims
But to which our minds and our souls unquestionably must attest
Or else to have lived a life totally void; to have lived in vain

LOVE DEFINED

The definition of love lays hidden in the love of God
When recognised and accepted in its disciplined ways
When subordinately returned in the prescribed measures thereof
When from its scriptural account but interpreted as if today's

The application of love when patterned from that of God
As subordinately as must be returned as of gender; man
So would he and his woman in exact principle made of
So would then be instituted God's love as He initially planned

ONLY AFTER

The options are wide open to get to know
Him, Who had created all things
Him, Whom before, regardless, must eventually go
Why not, in willing offerings

It makes perfect sense but to get to know
Him Who brought thee into being
Only in such acquaintance can be said to grow
And experience life in its full meaning

AS LUCK GOES

You think yourself lucky to escape without a scratch
As you would on the success of a most difficult operation
Consider yourself a winner by making such a catch
But may be far removed from the actual explanation

For the positive outcomes are for you but a taste
A lead to the entity solely responsible for your delivery
Whom you are yet to so recognise but on Whose grace
You are granted prolonged life; second chance; shown mercy
