Judgment Poem by Leslie Coulson
Judgment
So be it, God, I take what Thou dost give,
And gladly give what Thou dost take away.
For me Thy choice is barren days and grey.
Unquestioning Thy ordered days I live,
I do not seek to sift in Reason's sieve -
Thou rangest far beyond our Reason's sway.
We are but poor, uncomprehending clay,
For Thou to mould as Thou dost well conceive.
But when my blanched days of sorrow end,
And this poor clay for funeral is drest,
Then shall my soul to Thy Gold Gate ascend,
Then shall my soul soar up and summon Thee
To tell me why. And as Thou answerest,
So shall I judge Thee, God, not Thou judge me.
Loved the poem until I got to the last two lines, and then was stunned at the statement made: And as Thou answerest, So shall I judge Thee, God, not Thou judge me. This ruined the poem for me.
Marvelously penned devotional song praising the Creator and expressing unconditional surrender to Him till the day of reckoning. Enjoyed reading. Thanks for sharing on PH.
Yes we don't know God's time table and his wonders.We will understand when he lets us comprehend the meaning! What a penmanship!
In the end, as we face the judgement of God Almighty, through His verdict we'll be able to judge for ourselves what kind of God he truly is. A poetic creation of the highest calibre.
Awesome poem. A masterful work of art. Absolutely brilliant.
He listens obeys the lord but when he meets him he wants to know why of everything. I can understand the feeling and i will judge you now cause you will have to answer to me. Never seen this take on the afterlife before interesting
Not only is it well penned, it's a thought provoking statement that if God exists he's prepared to argue with him!

Takes an arrogant man who thinks he would address the powerful Creator of the Universe and all that is in it in such a pathetic display - it's almost beyond belief
