Yehoshua Shim'onai Poems

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
The enemy's already trampled on
And triumphantly doomed to destruction.
...

Where have you gotten your timeless love?
Where’s the source of your love which’s true?
Where does it descend from like a dove
And spring from which’s like water so blue?
...

My Lord is a man of war
and the Giver of peace
For He made war to deliver me
from evil
...

'Di sa tayo'ng umibig
'Di tayo'ng nag-alay -
Una'ng Dios sa pag-ibig,
Buhay n'ya'y kanyang bigay!
...

O Lord of the Highest, search upon the depths of our hearts
And reveal all the foolishness of our own ways
Show us the senselessness and arrogance in us
And may our hearts be broken before you.
...

In Your presence, Lord,
I can't lift my heart,
and my soul's humble
before Your glory;
...

A love for the self
is that which hath brought
condemnation unto men;
...

Once a pastor became bitter with God,
And had stumbled in his faith with the Lord
For ev’rything in the sky fell in him
And evry’thing seems so heavy for him.
...

Come with me, my love, my spouse; come with me;
Come with me to our chamber so that we
May fill it with love and intimacy
And enrich it with our sweet company.
...

This is not my end
-this is my eternity;
This is not my loss
but my gain in the Lord;
...

From loftiness one becomes lowly
. and from lowliness one becomes lofty.
Consider the highest of the peaks;
. it has nothing but rocks and snow only.
...

Hindi sa kalakasan
Ni sa kapangyarihan
Kundi sa Espiritu
Ng Dios ng kabanalan.
...

Cowardly is he who knows the reality
and tries to escape from it.

Careless is he who knows the reality
...

Gaano man kahirap
Sa pagsubok humarap,
Gaano man katuso
Bumayubay ang diablo -
...

I.
Once I saw myself sitting on my castle‘s throne -
In my heart's realm, lording over my life alone -
Reigned in a kingdom which's only a n illusion,
...

Araw ma'y nagtatagal,
Lahat ma'y tila pigil,
Sabi ni Yahweh'y pinal -
Husgang 'di mapipigil!
...

Buhay ang pag-asa ko
Pagkat nabubuhay si Cristo
Hindi na mamamatay
Sa Kanyang muling pagkabuhay
...

Ani ohev otcha, O Adonai;
. yes, I want to love You, my Creator!
I want to fall for You, O El Shaddai
. and to fall in love with You, my Savior!
...

Yehoshua Shim'onai Biography

Yehoshua Hammoshil ben Peleh Shim'onai, Ishel Eved'Yah (literally, Poet/Parabler Joshua Son of Felipe Jimenez, Man of God [and] Servant of the LORD; real name Phillip Joshua Kalata Jimenez) , after his transformation by the grace of God from being a diss track rapper, is a Christian poet currently serving as a Sunday school teacher at Word of Hope Christian Family Church. He has also been an undergound recording gospel rapper after recording his first Christian rap track entitled 'Official Statement' under Free Mind Music. He chose the name Ishel Eved'Yah (Heb. 'Man of God, Servant of the LORD') as his stage name. Unlike the other poems having rhyme and meter as their significant features, the poems of Yehoshua Shim'onai have different set of significant features, namely: 1. Parallelism - the most important element of Shim'onai's poems, which is a common literary feature of Hebrew poetry. It refers to the balance between two or more lines or stanzas, whether synonymous (similarity in thought) , antithetic (opposing thoughts) , or synthetic (completion of thought) . 2. Literary Beauty - a significant element of poetry that must be present in all poems. A poem must show an artistic impression by using imagery, figures of speech and symbolism. 3. Scriptural Inspiration - Shim'onai's poems are products of his understanding about the Scriptures. Though some of his poems have rhymes and regular meter, Shim'onai only considers these features as 'additives' to his poems due to his high regard to parallelism.)

The Best Poem Of Yehoshua Shim'onai

*tetelestai! (It Is Finished!)

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
The enemy's already trampled on
And triumphantly doomed to destruction.

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
Fully paid are our debts and transgressions
To us is complete justification.

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
Our wounds are already healed by the Son
And in His name, our sicknesses are gone.

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
All our chains He has broken and brought down
And our bondages He has made undone.

Tetelestai! For it's already done
Praise and glory be to the Holy One
For eternity in heaven's been won
And granted for us is the salvation!

Always couple grace with truth and truth with grace.
