When God decided to enter our world
He gave it a lot of thought
He wanted people to know who He was
The problem really was fraught
...
The News Today
I listened to the news to day there was death in every place
I wondered how we'd sing, of such amazing grace
...
A Belated Homage To A Genius.
(Alan Turing)
The world I entered was a shattered world a broken world
Millions dead, millions homeless, millions starving, bleak!
...
The name is everything so thought the ancient world
Your naming gave you ambition or gave thanks for your existence
Knowing a name meant power and bought fear because of knowledge
So 'I am' was ambiguous and intimidating all in one announcement
...
They have forgotten Lord,
You have slipped from their memory.
Your coming is celebrated with abandonment
Your departure is pushed aside, relegated,
...
In the face of a friend I see death
Written large for all who can see the signs.
We who travel with the dying are frail
We have nothing of ourselves to offer,
...
The day extinguishes in a blaze of glory
Nature in all her beauty bids farewell to the light
We stand enthralled captured by the magnificance
The transitory reality holds us mesmersied.
...
Today the question why?
Bounced off my mind
Through my heart
Ricochet around the room
...
From the beginning to the end
Your vision was unique
You understood completely
Your wisdom unending.
...
You have gone my little man, my companion
My friend through thick and thin
In rain and shine we explored the quarry
The country lane the hedgerows.
...
Today the mist was warm
Like a lovers embrace.
The birds sang, the river ebbed.
All is at peace.
...
A life ended before it has begun
In the time it takes to blink,
A millisecond, he was gone,
Not even the echo of his laughter
...
Running down the road naked child of war
Back all burnt and blistered
You don’t know what for.
Picture in the paper
...
Unfettered love unchecked by protocol or pride
Speaks its name and calls its tune into the night air
Love unknowable before demands to be heard unclouded
With all its passion and joy and liberation of the soul
...
He’s gone moved on whilst we still linger,
We hold him captive as the baby in the manger
He’s easy to handle as the baby; we’re in control.
But when he moves on what then? Things change.
...
The hills are stark and clear,
The shafts of milky white light
Make the colours almost paint like,
Surreal and yet more real than ever.
...
The shekinah light drove Moses into the cleft
Felled Paul on the way to Damascus
Blinds all who look upon God’s unveiled face.
The light must be diffused to bring life
...
Together in the darkness we struggle
We the messengers of light, and love.
We struggle with the pain
Of the one we love, cherish,
...

The Best Poem Of James Tipp
I Poem For Women In The Church
When God decided to enter our world
He gave it a lot of thought
He wanted people to know who He was
The problem really was fraught
Just to arrive out of nowhere
In a bush all burning and bright
Seemed a good idea at one time
This time it didn’t feel right.
I know Ill go as a baby
But I’ll need a woman as well
The problems he laid for the future
You never really could tell.
For women were deemed inferior
Not up to the task of us men
The problem remained such a real one
Nothing has changed much since then.
When Jesus preached of the Kingdom
With fishermen safe by his side
The women might have complained
Lord are we here just for the ride? .
We cook and we clean and we polish
We keep the lot of you fed
But we only get mentioned in passing
As if it might go to our head
It was the women who allowed them the freedom
To go about healing the sick
Were there when they came home quite tired
Who never complained gave them stick.
No the women were towers of strength then
They are towers of strength still today
But the way they get treated by some folk
You’d think they were just in the way.
When the spirit began to change lives
To thrill and inspire was the game
He looked at the people before him
And treated them all just the same
He never noticed their gender
Their function would all be the same
To tell of the Lords resurrection
To heal the world of its pain
Mary the first one to witness
The Lord as he rose from the grave
The world would marvel at her words
The one whose life had been saved.
Others would follower her leading
The church was made up of all
But only the males got the calling
If you think that’s true, your a fool
