Denis Martindale Poems

As the Lord looked on the nations,
He sighed at all He saw,
Though He gave them revelations,
They still despised His Law...
...

If only wisdom was the aim of every living soul,
Yes, this we pray, in Jesus' Name, for this should be our goal.
What blessings wait if we but try to live the lives we should,
Beyond the angry question, 'WHY! ? ' and doubting God is good
...

The Scriptures warn us of the war that good and evil fight,
That's why God's judgements must outpour if we don't do what's right.
Yet those God saves, by Heaven's grace, whom Jesus calls His Own,
Will one day meet Him face-to-face, in Heaven on His Throne.
...

Imagine that God asked you to write the perfect poem.
You sat down at the table, pen and paper at the ready.
You let your mind drift, as if in gentle wholesome prayer.
You wait for some guidance as to the main theme.
...

As I paused within the present,
With the future on my heart,
The Saviour knew how much this meant
That I should do my part...
...

There's not one single fact unknown
To God who dwells above.
In Christ, no man lives life alone,
His grace will prove enough...
...

The dream began as many do, without a by or leave,
Then all lost souls God let me view... I heard their spirits grieve.
I looked above, there were no stars, no planets and no moon,
The sun alone was burning still, so hot it made them swoon.
...

They also serve who stand and wait,
The meerkat showed this fact.
He volunteered and stood up straight,
Determined to react!
...

Lord of the Jungle, certainly,
This leopard so serene.
He posed with sovereign majesty,
The best that's ever been.
...

Sometimes I ask the Lord in prayers, What's the meaning of life?
I wonder what the Bible says about Man's pain and strife?
Sometimes I think I understand, at other times, I'm lost!
So many doctrines close at hand that followed Pentecost!
...
