Dr John Celes Poems

It’s Lent-time once again;
Make it a boon, not bane;
Empty your soul’s sin-bins;
Let grace of God, souls rinse!
...

O Holy Spirit, dwell in me,
And drive away the evil ones,
So that I’m freed from temptations,
And concentrate on work for God.

To see if he is returning –
Her lover left her suddenly;
She never knows the reason why!

Thank you for being what you were;
Thank you for being our friend;
Thank you for advice that was rare;
Thank you for being Godsend!

Through sufferings, we are born to lead this life;
Through sufferings, we are even baptized;
Through sufferings, we all must meet our strife;
Through sufferings, we’re even magnetized.

We find is not enough at all!
But we have time for everything,
Except to spare for God!
...

For sins of human beings all,
Lord Jesus laid His life on cross;
Although a sin-free soul Himself,
He suffered, died to redeem man.
