The King Of Love Poem by Denis Martindale

A single thought can change the world,
North, south, east, west and more...
As if all burdens have been hurled,
Cast off from shore to shore...
As if like doves our spirits fly
To Heaven's Throne above,
To meet the Lord who chose to die,
Yet share eternal love...
To think that He would sacrifice
His body once at peace...
To purchase precious Paradise,
Securing our release...
To think He rose from Death's embrace,
To grant eternal life,
So we could live within His grace,
No matter, pain or strife...
A single prayer can raise the dead,
Move mountains from the Earth...
Because of Him whose Blood was shed
To prove that He had worth...
And proved it is, beyond all doubt,
All hail, the King of Kings!
God's glory turned the world about
Because Christ did these things!
One single heart with love to spare,
Enough to suffer all,
Enough for all our sins to bear
Is what persuaded Paul...
That's why he preached from house-to-house
And prayed with all his might!
Like him, pray, too, for he who bows
Loves Jesus day and night...
