First Thoughts First Poem by Doug Blair

In the nineteenth
The singer began
With the heavenlies
God first said many a Jew.
Show me first
Said many a Greek.
But it is there
For the starting block
In this race.
God first...deal with it.
In Creation; in Redemption.
Next comes His Word
Correcting and aligning
Beautifying and begetting
His Word.
Magnified above all His Name. (psalm 138)
So let the words of my mouth
And the meditations of my heart
Be acceptable in thy sight Oh Lord.
My strength and my Redeemer.
