Today... 'The One To Be Feared' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'The One To Be Feared'



The wind had ceased as the waves subside
for 'Peace be still' the Lord had cried.
Both wind and waves obey the words
of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

The disciples were amazed at what they saw
as they gazed at Jesus eyes full of awe.
The One to be feared was there in the boat
and by His power had kept them afloat.

We fear God and great reverence show
as in the boat sailing through life we go.
The Son of God born to us by virgin birth
is to be feared by all the kings of earth.

So as we make vows to the Lord our God
we remember that this earths paths He trod
and He is the Saviour and Lord of all.
The One before whom all nations fall.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Psalm 76: 10-12
Surely your wrath against men brings you praise,
and the survivors of your wrath are restrained.
Make vows to the LORD your God and fulfil them;
let all the neighbouring lands
bring gifts to the One to be feared.
He breaks the spirit of rulers;
he is feared by the kings of the earth.

All quotations ©NIV


The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'The One to be feared'
